Prince George City Council has approved funding to support the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club in hosting the 2026 Olympic Winter Games Trials in December.
At this week’s meeting, City Council approved $40,000 from the Major Events Reserve to support the event, which is set to take place December 10th to 16th.
“It’s a no-brainer,” said Mayor Simon Yu.
“We’re looking forward to the success, like usual. Anything happening up in Otway is a good thing for the City.”
According to a staff report, approximately 250 athletes and coaches will be coming to Prince George to compete for a shot at representing Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
The report states the event will be broadcast through the Nordiq Canada’s YouTube channel, as well as on CBC Gem, and it would enable the promotion of Prince George across the country.
