The Prince George Cougars are thrilled to unveil their upcoming Community Heroes weekend, taking place on Saturday, October 21st, against the Kamloops Blazers and Sunday, October 22nd, against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

The Community Heroes weekend aims to honour and celebrate the dedicated individuals who selflessly serve our community, including front-line workers, emergency services personnel, victim support advocates, Northern Health professionals, and all those who contribute to the well-being of our region.

The Cougars have partnered with local foundations and businesses to make this weekend one of the most exciting of the season. The Prince George Community Foundation and The Spirit of the North Foundation have been instrumental in planning and organizing the weekend's events. Coastal GasLink, Wood Wheaton, and Canadian Tire have all stepped up to help put on an incredible event while providing tickets for community hero groups to come down and enjoy the games.

The Prince George Cougars will be investing $50,000 to provide seats for our Community Heroes during this special weekend.

Saturday night's game against the Blazers will feature a poignant pre-game ceremony to acknowledge and pay tribute to our Community Heroes. This event is proudly sponsored by Coastal GasLink, whose commitment to our community aligns perfectly with this initiative.
