A
new design for the medals and ceremonial podiums used for the BC Winter
and Summer Games will make their debut in Vernon in February. The new medal podiums were designed and created by the Tradeworks
Fabrication Shop (FabShop) that gained notoriety for building thousands
of items for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympics Games. The FabShop is an innovative program that trains youth at risk to give them the skills needed to move into the work force. The new podiums are a tiered circular design that features reclaimed B.C. beetle wood. The gold, silver, and bronze medals that are awarded to BC's best
young developing athletes have also been redesigned in collaboration
with Kerr's Recognition Services. The new medals are a unique modern design that is a true keepsake for the medal winners.The 2012 BC Winter Games will take place in Greater Vernon, February 23-26.
