You'll need a Google for Business account to be able to sync those I believe (I usually sync my Outlook, it's easier to use)
Syncing outlook is a good idea. How do you do that?
It'll be alot of transferring via Google Calendar to Outlook via a PC, than add your outlook account to your BlackBerry and sync the calendar.
How to setup other gmail users calendar on BB10 is described here:
KB33093-How to setup Google Calendar synchronization via CalDAV on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry 10 smartphone
Fadmin, that link isn't working.
Just search for KB article KB33093
But here it is:
Google allows a Google Calendar account to synchronize via the CalDAV service. To add a Google Calendar account using CalDAV perform the following steps:
- On the home screen, swipe down from the top bezel and select Settings.
- Select Accounts > Add New Account > Email, Calendar and Contacts > Advanced Setup > CalDAV.
- On the CalDAV screen, the Description field is optional, but can be filled in for clarity.
- Enter the full email address in the Username and Email Address fields.
- Enter the password used to access Google Calendar in the Password field. Use the Show Password checkbox to ensure it is correct.
- In the Server Address field, enterhttps://www.google.com/calendar/dav/<emailaddress>/events where <emailaddress> is the Google email address.
- Sync Interval can be changed with these values : 15 Minutes , 30 Minutes , 1 Hour , 2 Hours , 4 Hours , 24 Hours , or Manual . The default is 30 Minutes.
- Click Save.
I had problems with syncing other calendars before then I changed sync interval to 15 min and everything works...maybe luck on my part I followed the instructions like the one above a few months back, still working to this day with sync interval to original settings

Haytrader,
Are you referring to Google calendars? Where you have additional calendars or where they've been shared with you by others so they are shown in your main calendar? If so, go to this hard-to-find Google calendar settings page, and select all the ones you wish to have sync to your device. After selecting, you'll need to force a resync. A restart is a simple way. (Refreshing should do it, but doesn't seem reliable for some reason.)
