British Columbia Open
Golf tournament
The British Columbia Open, commonly known as the B. C. Open, was a golf tournament that was held in British Columbia, Canada. It was held annually from 1928 until 1993 except for during the Second World War and 1958, when it was cancelled due to the celebratory British Columbia Centennial Open.
The B. C. Open was a fixture on the Canadian Tour from the tour's foundation, when it was the opening tournament in 1966, until 1993 when the British Columbia Professional Golfers Association decided to discontinue the event. Shortly afterwards, the BC TEL Pacific Open was founded as a replacement event on the tour.
At various times the B. C. Open was played over 36, 54 and 72 holes, often differing from one year to the next.

Why this record matters
“British Columbia Open” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, British, Columbia and Golf provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q96373990. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1928, 1993, 1958 and 1966.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
