City Council providing a small funding boost to Northern Angel Investors Summit

By Darin Bain

Prince George City Council will be investing $5,000 from their Council Contingency Fund towards the Northern Angel Investment Summit.

The Northern Angel Investors Summit is a ten-week program connecting investors with startups through hands-on angel investment training and equipping startups to attract capital, culminating in a public summit with a significant investment placement.

“It’s not just helping small businesses, the idea is to build that network of investors so the money stays in the North,” said Councillor Garth Frizzell, who brought forward the motion.

“That’s the idea the Innovation Central Society has presented.”

The summit will start in June 2025, and will be held in Prince George for the first time.
