Prince George is gearing up to host the 2025 Lheidli Classic Indigenous Basketball Tournament next month.

The second edition of the tournament will welcome 14 men’s teams and 6 women’s teams to compete across three schools in Prince George: Cedars Christian School, Prince George Secondary School and Duchess Park Secondary.

“We’re excited to see this tournament grow, and bring together Indigenous communities, athletes, and fans in celebration and sport,” said Tourism Prince George Interim CEO Carmen Herman.

“It’s events like the Lheidli Classic that help tell the story of Prince George, on that honours culture and connection.”

In addition to the basketball tournament, a small Indigenous vendor and creator market will be held throughout the weekend at Cedars Christian School.

The tournament takes place from November 14 to 16.

Last year’s tournament saw 12 men’s teams compete, with the Burnaby Chiefs defeating Similkameen in the final by a score of 141-91.
