Spirit of BC Manifesto

Every community in British Columbia is bound by a family of shared emotions. Optimism, hope, friendship and pride: this is the spirit of BC. And these are the qualities that Spirit of BC is dedicated to preserving and promoting, in every region of the province.

Working with local leaders, we bring together people, projects and ideas to engage and excite every city and town through province-wide celebrations of excellence and innovation.

We help communities come together, find their voice and celebrate the spirit that makes them unique. The charm of Vancouver Island. The hospitality of the Interior. The heritage of the Cariboo. The Spirit of BC is our common ground, reflecting our unique geography and honouring our cultural diversity.

The heart of Spirit of BC is our 100 community committees; each telling a different part in the story of our province. We help develop overall programs, but the magic of Spirit of BC is the way each regional committee embraces these ideas and makes them their own.

Our keystone program is Spirit of BC Week, held every year in February as a celebration of our province and its unique communities, as well as being a countdown to the 2010 Winter Games. These activities serve to connect communities to themselves, and to light enduring fires of friendship in cities and towns across BC.

Spirit of BC is both an idea and an outcome. It is a force for positive change across all regions of the province. And it gives form to what we all feel inside: the pride of knowing that we live in the best place on earth.

Spirit of BC reminds us that we belong to something bigger than ourselves. Four million points of light, shining strong in every part of BC, inspiring each other, and the world.

Spirit of BC. Feel it. Live it. Share it.
