Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation’s Festival of Trees will be getting a big upgrade with its new partnership with the CN Centre.
This comes as the festival had been held at the Civic Centre, which had been seeing general admission growth year over year.
Spirit of the North CEO Aimee Cassie said it’s a natural evolution of the event.
“We had maximized all the space that we possibly could at Civic Centre, and with CN, we’re able to grow the areas that are people’s favourite.”
“We can grow the kids area, we can grow vendors in the concourse; big trees, we got way more space for our big trees.”
Glen Mikkelsen, CN Centre Manager said for many people, this event is a tradition and kick-off to the Christmas season.
“That’s just such a treasured component of our community, so I think that’s something we haven’t really experienced in a sense.”
“We have other kinds of events, but to have something that means so much to Prince George and northern B.C., it’s going to be a real honour for us, and we’re really looking forward to it.”
The 32nd annual Festival of Trees will open November 26th and go until November 30th, with tickets available through TicketsNorth at 10 a.m. on Monday.
