Prince George celebrating Purple Day to bring awareness to Schizophrenia

The BC Schizophrenia Society Prince George Branch will be celebrating Purple Day tomorrow (Saturday).

This is for National Schizophrenia and Psychosis Awareness Day, with the branch hosting a barbeque fundraiser at their facility.

Executive Director Nansi Long said the money raised will stay in the community.

“Something that people don’t often realize is that our local branch is incorporated, and all of the money stays here in Prince George.”

“Any of the money that you bring down to us, and have a nice meal with us, stays here to support the programs and services that we do here in Prince George.”

There are two different programming streams in Prince George, including the A.C.E. activity centre, and their Families programs.

The barbeque will be at their branch at 1139 6th avenue from 11am to 2pm, and will have burgers, smokies, chips, pop, and a dessert for $8.

More information about the BC Schizophrenia Society Prince George Branch and its programs can be found on their website here.
