Spirit Day underway

PRINCE GEORGE — The Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation is celebrating eight years this year and every year Spirit Day takes over the radio with a 12 hour broadcast dedicated to the healthcare journey of Northern BC. All of the funds raised on Spirit Day stay in Northern BC.

2023’s Spirit Day was a record breaker, with over $260,000 being raised in just 12 hours, going to fund various programs in the North, and none of it would have been possible without the support of the community.

Spirit Day is supporting a number of causes this year and you can pick your passion including cardiac care, oncology, seniors wellness, lymphedema, pediatric, respiratory, and mental health and wellness.

One thing that could be funded through Spirit Day, is a piece of cataract equipment. Aimee Cassie said that the foundation is looking to bring a piece of equipment to Prince George that will help with cataract surgeries and eliminate a waitlist that’s currently over 900 patients.
