Farewell to Graeme Roberts - One of the BC Games Family 

Graeme Roberts was a fixture at the BC Games for so many years. Serving as the Community Ambassador for Jazz Aviation and later named an Honourary Board Member of the society, Graeme brought his own special flair, enthusiasm, and style to the Games. Whether it was the dramatic and suspenseful way he announced the winners of the Air Canada tickets, regaling with his stories, or chatting with volunteers and participants in a way that made them feel special and valued, he definitely made his mark.

We are honoured to have had you play a part of the BC Games experience, Graeme. We will miss your humour, your passion, and your belief in the value of the Games.
