2016 Regional Qualifiers

In the 2016 season of summer-sport Regional Qualifiers, SOBC athletes throughout the province gave their all in competing to qualify for the 2017 Special Olympics BC Summer Games. Those Provincial Games were the qualifier for members of Team BC 2018 for the 2018 Special Olympics Canada Summer Games and 2018 SOC Bowling Championships, which are the national qualifying events for the 2019 Special Olympics World Summer Games.

For SOBC athletes, it all started right here with the Regional Qualifiers. A significant number of Locals around the province hosted these exciting competitions, and 2016 saw many firsts. The first Basketball Regional Qualifiers to be held on the Island and in the North were hosted by SOBC – Campbell River and SOBC – Prince George, respectively, and Kelowna and Fort St. John hosted their first-ever rhythmic gymnastics qualifiers. Big thanks to all the volunteers and supporters who made these important opportunities possible, and congrats to all competitors!
