Prince George, B.C. and the University of Northern British Columbia are teaming up to provide an unforgettable experience for the provinces emerging high-performance athletes.

蹤獲扞⑹ has come on as a signature sponsor for this significant community event and will provide a number of supports, including for the first time in BC Games history, a tuition credit available to participating athletes.

This is an exciting first for the Games, says 2022 BC Summer Games Host Society President Renee McCloskey. We are so grateful for the support from 蹤獲扞⑹ and the opportunity to showcase the beautiful campus in Prince George as part of our Games.  It would be wonderful to see these young athletes have their experience at these Games spark their post-secondary journey.  

The BC Summer Games will draw more than 2,300 athletes from 170 communities to compete in Prince George at venues across the city between July 21 and July 24. To celebrate the hard work and dedication of these young athletes, 蹤獲扞⑹ will offer all Games participants a $2,000 tuition fee credit.

We know the athletes and their families will have an incredible experience during the 2022 BC Summer Games and we hope this incentive will encourage them to choose 蹤獲扞⑹ when theyre ready to begin their post-secondary education, says 蹤獲扞⑹ President Dr. Geoff Payne. Elite athletes must work to balance their rigorous training schedules with academics and we hope this financial support will further empower them as they pursue their studies.
