The Prince George Community Foundation (PGCF) was on the ‘giving’ end of Giving Tuesday this year.
For Giving Tuesday, the PGCF gave out a total of $18,000 to six different charities, each receiving $3,000.
They were divided into six different categories: Arts and Culture, Sports, Environment, Education, Health, and Social Services.
The PGCF then asked the community to decide which local charities would receive the money through voting.
The winners were:
- Arts and Culture –Â Prince George Cantata Singers
- Sports:Â Caledonia Adaptive Snowsports Society
- Environment:Â David Douglas Botanical Garden Society
- Education:Â Central BC Railway and Forestry Museum
- Health:Â Canadian Mental Health Association of Northern BC
