General FAQs

Ringette BC, as the Provincial Ringette Organization for British Columbia, delivers ringette across the province in partnership with our 4 Leagues and 20 local ringette Associations located throughout the province.

In order to better inform our membership as to what each group does, we’ve created this FAQ chart and questions for you to direct to our Leagues, local Associations, and Zones to ensure you receive the most efficient and effective service delivery.
