Warm sunny weather made for ideal conditions for all four days of competition
Considering 13 of the 18 sports that made up the 2022 BC Summer Games were played at outdoor venues, the weather gods looking down on Prince George certainly gave their blessing when they provided four days of nothing but sunshine and warm conditions.
“It was just an exceptional time for our community and it was just such a joy to watch these young visitors just thrive and be the best they can while they really soaked up the opportunity to participate in the BC Games,” said McCloskey.Athletes from 170 B.C. communities who took part in the Games, which wrapped up Sunday, are eligible for tuition credits of up to $2,000 at UNBC . To receive the credit, athletes must fill out an online prospective student profile by Aug.
“On the sports side, we weren’t as active or involved in the planning of the sports, so up until we had the chance to go to the venues I personally didn’t know too many of the athletes, so I didn’t know what to expect as far as which zone would the stronger in each sport.” McCloskey is a former BC Games medalist in water skiing and she visited the towed water sports venue at Ness Lake a couple times to check out the action. The calm wind conditions throughout the weekend were perfect for those events.
