Winter Games soon

In 1975 the Northern B.C.
Winter Games began as an
inspiration of several Fort
St. John citizens headed by
Jack Philpot and Ken
Davies. They wanted to olfer’
th. students of Northern B.C.
the opportunity te compete
with others across the North
whom they would otherwise
not meet, and to provide an
exciting break inthe long
isolated winter. With tt:
success of the 1975 Games.
and the enthusiasm = they
created, it was decided lo
expand and include adults in
future Games. Each year the
expansion has been greater,
and now the Games have
evolved into an Annual
winter tradition.

The Games are now run by
the Winter Games Society, a
governing body of people
dedicated to developing a
strong foundation of sports
activity in northern B.C. The
Society is made up of the

‘President, John Furlong; the

Vice President, Dale Fid-
dick; the » Treasurer;
and a Regional Director
representing each of the
Community Chairmen, and
an Ex Offictalmember of the
Fitness and Recreation
Branch. They have
established, along with the
support of the Provincial
Government, the rules and
conditions which keep the
Games rimning consistently
from community to ¢com-
munity. In a nutshell, the
Society promotes fitness.

The Winter Games Society

Gan-" by accepting bids
from interested com-
munities between 100 Mile
Howse and the Yukon
border, community must
ofler twelve compulsory
events which the Society has
“stablished. In this way each
community has the: op-
portunity to add their own
touch and give the Games a
style unique to their com-
munity. Some of the events,
seuh as snow-shoeing, alpine
and cross-country skiing
were vital to the lives of the
first settlers in the north.
Others are newer in-
torductions, such as gym-
nastics and table tennis, And
duplicate bridge and chess
indicate that all types of
activity, mental as well as
physical, are important to
the success of the Games.

In addition to the actual
events, various clinics are
offered during the course of
the weekend. Experienced
people are there to pass on
their knowledge so that all
participants have the op-
portunity of leaving the
Games with greater
proficiency than when they
arrived.

The Northern B.C. Winter
Games provide a common
meeting place for people of
ali ages and all levels of skill,

The mest important
requirement is that of
participation. Both the

hate the opportunity to in-
crease their awareness of
the north and establish new
friendships that will last for
years.

In 1979 the Games are
being hosted by Smithers, a
small town and one which is
brimming with community
spirit. The Games are being
organized by a dedicated
committee, chaired by Brian
Northup, and a determined
office staff whom the Project
Co-oridinator, Debbie White,
keeps hard at work. In ad-
dition many people in the
community are busily at
work preparing for this
exciting event.. ©

Prior to the Games,
February 2-4, 1879 Regional
playdowns must be held.-
They determine who will
proceed to the Games to
compete for the community
and regional aggregate
winner's, In this way, there 15s
mass participatiun
throughout the north and
each community @x-
periences the duilding ex-
citement.

The seventh berth is in-
vitational, and is filled by
communities that are so
isolated they simply can’t
affard the transportation
costs to attend beth regional
playdowns and the Games.
The eighth, and final berth is
made up of representatives
from the Yukon.

AS you can see the Games
have come a long way since
those first meetings held in
the basement of the Dawson
Creek swimming pocl.
