Recreation

The province of British Columbia offers many recreational opportunities for everyone, and seniors can often enjoy these activities at a reduced rate.

Hunting and Fishing Licences for Seniors

B.C. residents 65 years of age or over can buy hunting and fishing licences at a reduced rate.

Information on hunting licences and fishing licences can be found on the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations website.

Campsite Discounts

B.C. seniors receive a discount on campsite fees during the “shoulder season” (from the day after Labour Day to June 14 of the following year). This discount does not apply to group camping, group picnicking, backcountry, marine, or day-use fees.

Visit BC Parks for more information about seniors’ discounts.

Royal BC Museum

Seniors pay reduced admission fees at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria, both individually and as a pre-booked group.

Information about seniors’ discounts is available on the Royal BC Museum website.

BC Seniors Games

The BC Seniors Games promote active participation in sport and recreation for B.C. residents 55 years of age and over. This annual four-day celebration attracts thousands of seniors from all corners of the province. Competitors qualify through regional zone playoffs and must be members of the BC Seniors Games Society. Details are available on the BC Seniors Games website.

Boomer-Friendly Boot Camps

These activity camps provide opportunities for seniors to learn new skills in a fun and adventurous, yet non-threatening, environment. Whether you just want to have fun, or you want to take the first step to competing at the BC Seniors Games, these boot camps are meant to be enjoyed by everyone.
