PRINCE GEORGE— Prince George will be host to another major sporting event as athletes from across B.C. will participate in the 2024 Provincial Championships. The event will take place from April 5-7, 2024 at the Northern Sports Centre.

The competition will take a lot of heavy lifting from the over 120 volunteers as they move the mats, prep food, and referee the fights.

17 judokas, someone who practices judo, from Northern B.C. will be competing in this qualifying event with hopes of entering the 2024 Canadian Open Nationals this May in Montreal.

The event is free to watch and the organizers encourage everyone to learn about this historic martial art.
