UNBC’s Canada Games tuition credit has led to a spike in enrolment from athletes and officials from across Canada.
The 25 hundred dollar credit is good for the next five years in addition to any other financial awards they receive.
Student Recruitment Officer, Dennis Stark says no shortage of people will register.
“97 athletes and minor and major officials from the games register for the ability to redeem this credit between now and 2019.”
10 of those 97 are attending class at UNBC this academic year.
The credit gives participants a chance to train at several athletic facilities in the area and attend school at the same time.
Improvements to the Nordic, Tabor and Purden Ski Clubs in Prince George are big reasons why athletes have relocated to train in the city.
