THEME FOR THE YEAR

The Regeneration Begins

As we step into a new era, the BC MBA Games 2025 embraces the theme: "The Regeneration Begins." This theme symbolizes a collective journey towards renewal, innovation, and responsible leadership in the face of evolving global challenges.

Established in 2015 at Vancouver Island University, the BC MBA Games have consistently brought together MBA students from across British Columbia to engage in spirited competition, collaboration, and community engagement. The Games encompass three core pillars: Academics, Athletics, and Spirit, fostering a holistic development of future business leaders.

"The Regeneration Begins" invites participants to reimagine traditional business paradigms, emphasizing sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation. It challenges MBA students to not only excel in their respective fields but also to contribute meaningfully to society and the environment.

Through case competitions, athletic events, and community initiatives, the 2025 Games aim to cultivate a generation of leaders poised to drive transformative change. This year's theme serves as a call to action, urging participants to lead with purpose, resilience, and a commitment to building a better future.

THEME FOR THE YEAR

An Appetite for Sustainability

In 2023, Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector employed 2.3 million people, accounting for nearly 1 in 9 jobs and contributing 7% to the GDP. However, challenges persist, such as British Columbia importing 45% of its food and 40% of landfills being organic waste. In 2014, food waste in Canada was valued at $31 billion, with global food waste ranking as the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases. The 2024 BC MBA Games theme, “An Appetite for Sustainability,” urges business leaders to address food systems' sustainability. This involves rethinking production, distribution, consumption, and waste management, promoting ethical business models, and fostering innovations for resilient and equitable food systems.
