Community Heroes Weekend at the CN Centre is making a return next month.
It will happen on November 9th and 10th, as the Prince George Cougars face off against the Vancouver Giants. Puck drops at 6:00 PM on Saturday and 2:00 PM on Sunday.
The weekend is dedicated to honouring our local frontline heroes who tirelessly serve our community.
In addition, $50,000 worth of tickets for both games have been purchased for our community heroes via the Cougars ownership, this will include firefighters, RCMP officers, medical staff, teachers, and other essential frontline workers.
Local businesses are also being invited to join the initiative by purchasing blocks of tickets for our community heroes.
Furthermore, the weekend will feature a Mega 50/50 with a guaranteed jackpot of $50,000. Tickets will go on sale online at 12:01 AM on Monday.
They can be purchased online here.
Proceeds will go towards local nonprofits such as the Prince George Community Foundation, Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation, the Prince George Firefighters Charitable Society, and RCMP Victim Services.
“Community Heroes Weekend always proves to be a fun and exciting weekend for the Cougars. It’s special to get so many essential workers under the same roof watching great hockey and having a great time with one another. Seeing local businesses step up and provide tickets for them and their families is also extremely rewarding. Watching the 50/50 jackpot grow into the six digits and seeing the frenzy that goes along with that is awesome every time,” outlined Taylor Dakers, the Prince George Cougars Director of Business Operations.
