Our 129th British Columbia Highland Games was a great success. We finally got some sunshine and warm temperatures. We were thrilled to welcome the Royal Canadian Legion and their colour guard to commemorate 100-years of the RC Legion. We thank our Chieftain of the Day, retiring Mayor Richard Stewart for his service, keeping the peace between the Clans and filling in holes in The Meadow. Thanks to BC Pipers’ Chief Steward Lynn Bullis for her years of dedication. To the Organizing Committee and all our great volunteers – thank you very much. Mark your calendars for the 130ieth British Columbia Highland Games.
Vendor program opens February 1. Volunteer applications in March along with event tickets.
