As you embark on this incredible journey, we want to ensure that you have all the necessary information. Before setting off to the 2023 NAIG, we highly recommend going through the valuable resources provided below.


Team BC Handbook

This Handbook contains important information about Team BC and the Halifax, 2023 North American Indigenous Games (NAIG) and outlines the responsibilities of all Team BC members, including athletes, coaches, managers and mission staff. 

There are many benefits and privileges that come with being chosen to represent British Columbia, but in turn, all Team BC members, including athletes, coaches, managers and mission staff, are expected to fulfill certain responsibilities and obligations.

Team BC Code of Conduct 

The purpose of the Team BC Code of Conduct (the “Code”) is to ensure a safe and positive environment within the Team BC programs, activities, and events by making individuals aware that there is an expectation, at all times, on and off the field of play, of appropriate behaviour consistent with the core values of I·SPARC, NAIG, and any other host society. This Code of Conduct is a basic outline of expected behaviour. Those who demonstrate an inability to conduct themselves in an appropriate, socially acceptable manner will be subject to the I·SPARC and Team BC Disciplinary Process. 

All members of Team BC have signed and agreed to the Team BC Code of Conduct.
