Apr 19, 2018 | 2:24 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – With the snow melted almost everywhere, outdoor activities are ready to kick off. Prince George is one of nine communities taking part in the province-wide Physical Literacy for Communities – British Columbia (PL4C-BC) initiative. 

The goal of the initiative is to increase physical activity for local children and youth while developing their physical knowledge. 

“The PL4C-BC initiative encourages community partners to work together to promote physical literacy experiences while enriching and building capacity in Prince George around the delivery of physical literacy programming,” says Neil Sedgwick, Head Coach for UNBC’s Women’s Soccer team and PL4C-BC Community Mentor.  

Up to $50,000 in funding for two years will be provided by the PL4C-BC, lead by Engage Sport North.   

“We’re dedicated to advancing sport participation and excellence in the north, and the development of physical literacy is such an important part of this,” says Mandi Graham, Executive Director of Engage Sport North, and PL4C-BC Community Mentor.
