British Columbia boasts a rich and vibrant history of sports, and over the past century Vancouver Sun and Province photojournalists, and other local photographers, have had a front-row seat to the action.

The eclectic selection of over 200 stunning photographs in Magic Moments in BC Sports: A Century in Photos features thrilling events such as the 1954 British Empire Games, the 1994 Commonwealth Games, and the 2010 Winter Olympics, as well as winning teams such as the Vancouver Millionaires, BC Lions, Vancouver Canucks, and Vancouver Whitecaps.

From Indigenous canoe racers to mountain bikers, from bathtub racing to roller derby, from Little Leaguers to inspiring athletes such as Percy Williams, Chief Dan George, Harry Jerome, Nancy Greene, Debbie Brill, Rick Hansen, and Christine Sinclair, these striking images capture our province’s true sporting spirit in all its diverse, cheering, and face-painted glory.
