Special Olympics Canada site evaluation committee will be in Prince George as they determine the host city for the 2030 Special Olympics Summer Games.
In February, PG City Council approved a request from administration to submit a bid for the event, and was then shortlisted in June to host the games.
According to the City, Committee members will be in the northern capital from Tuesday to Thursday, touring facilities and learning the City’s capacity to host the event.
They will start with a welcome breakfast at UNBC that will include a tour through the residence and Northern Sports Centre, with stops at other venues.
The City will be hosting a Party in the Plaza on Wednesday at 2 p.m., to showcase Canada Games Plaza, while presenting different venues, accommodations, and dining facilities.
On the final day, committee members will visit the House of Ancestors.
The City said the event would bring around 1,700 athletes, coaches, and volunteers from across Canada to participate in 10 sports over five days.
