UPCOMING EVENTS
BRING ON THE BRIER!
CONTEST TIME!!!

After watching the Olympics and the 2018 Brier in Regina, curling fever has swept the chamber office. The opportunity to host the PGBrier2020​ in the City of Prince George​ brought great enthusiasm, as we would be able to welcome people from across Canada to our lovely community! 
 
Check out our "Office Curling" video below and then head on over to the Chamber's Facebook page for information on the contest.
 
Keep watching for more contests and be sure to get those deposits: http://www.ticketsnorth.ca/event/2020-brier/
