This partnership is formalized through a memorandum of understanding and partnership agreement that both parties are accountable to. The PSO/DSO appoints staff and/or volunteers to support the Games. These include a Provincial Advisor, a Sport Chair, and Zone Representatives. The Provincial Advisor serves as the technical representative for the BC Games and works with BC Games staff to confirm the technical aspects of competition and can make binding decisions on behalf of his or her sport organization. The Sport Chair is a sport volunteer from your local community, selected by the Provincial Advisor. The Sport Chair prepares, in cooperation with BC Games Society staff, the Provincial Advisor, and host society volunteers, all aspects of his or her sport for the BC Games. They are managed by the Sport Directorate. Each sport also names one Zone Representative in each zone who oversees the zone qualification process and registers participants for the Games.
