And when they arrive in the Rotary Stadium at Abbotsford Exhibition Park on Aug. 23, they’ll be greeted with a special welcome from the students of Sandy Hill elementary.

The Games are expected to draw in about 2,500 athletes from 12 zones across the province, along with about 1,500 volunteers to help with the event, which runs Aug. 22 through Aug. 26. The venue will open at 6 p.m. with entertainment beginning at 6:30 p.m. with opening remarks from Mayor Ross Siemens, and an Indigenous welcoming ceremony.
