You can now own your very own Nanguz the Fox.
Little plush toys of the Winter Games mascot are on sale at the YMCA of Northern BC.
When asked if Nanguz’s popularity is turning him into the new “Expo Ernie”, Programs Director Chris Kinch laughed and said “You know what, I’ve still got my Expo Ernie shirt, so if he is, great!”
“We are thrilled to see Nanguz in his stuffy form,” Alyson Gourley-Cramer, Manager of Communications and Community Relations says, “It’s really cool to see him go from that drawing that Kaitlyn did, the 11 year-old student who drew Nanguz, to the mascot , now we’ve got our stuffy.”
The limited edition Nanguz is on sale at the Y until the 24th for $19.99, with partial proceeds going to the Canada Games Legacy Program that gives all Grade 6 students a free membership to the YMCA.
