The BC Games Society would like to welcome Juli Prokopchuk Brattan to the team as our new Event Manager. In her role, Juli will assist the host societies with the planning and execution of the BC Winter Games.

Juli brings rich games experience, having worked on 15 provincial games as Manager of Major Games and Competitions with Special Olympics Ontario. She was also Chef de Mission for Team Ontario at seven national games, in addition to Canada's Team Manager at the 2017 World Winter Games in Austria and Assistant Chef de Mission at the 2022 World Winter Games in Russia. Most recently, Juli spent time with Triathlon BC.

After a cancer diagnosis kept him from the Games, Pawluk’s box lacrosse teammates rallied around him to win gold at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in Niagara. The team hung a jersey behind their bench during every Game and other provinces flocked to sign it in support of Pawluk.
