PG Cougars celebrating community heroes this weekend

The Prince George Cougars will be shinning a spotlight on frontline heroes for Community Heroes Weekend.

This is in partnership with the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation and the Prince George Community Foundation, celebrating local heroes including firefighters, RCMP officers, medical staff, teachers, and other essential workers.

During tomorrow’s (Saturday) and Sunday’s games, there will be a MEGA 50/50 Jackpot, with a guaranteed minimum jackpot of $50,000, with proceeds supporting local nonprofits, including the Prince George Firefighters Charitable Society, RCMP Victim Services, Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, and the Honour House Society.

According to Spirit of the North, over 4,000 local heroes filled the CN Centre last year, and the MEGA 50/50 Jackpot climbed past $126,000.

Puck drops are set for tomorrow at 6pm, with a 2pm start on Sunday.

More information and tickets for the MEGA 50/50 Jackpot and weekend Cougars games can be found here.
