PRINCE GEORGE — 15-year-old Delaney Turner is yet another athlete from Prince George set to head to Halifax for the 2023 North American Indigenous Games. Something the Volleyball player is looking forward to.

“I’ve never been on a plane so it’ll be something new. Going to Halifax, I’ve never been and I heard it’s a pretty cool place.” – Delaney Turner, Team BC, North American Indigenous Games

Turner first started Volleyball in 2019 and credits a lot of her success to long-time coach Mark Lafluer who told her about the opportunity and has coached her skills up. She was also part of the Kodiaks team which won Provincials this past year.

For Delenay’s mom, she was overjoyed about the news that her daughter was headed to the games with Team BC and like any parent was proud of Delenay’s great achievement.
