BC 55+ Senior Games were held once again in Abbotsford after a gap of 13 years from August 22–26, 2023. Games were spread over the Fraser Valley, and the track and field events were conducted at the Jennifer Swan Rotary Stadium, Abbotsford from the 23rd to the 26th. The weather conditions were perfect for good performances.
Eight of our Ultr Throw Club members had registered for the meet, however, Manjit Johal had to miss it due to a conflict, and Saroop Tatla had to pull out midway after one event.
