PRINCE GEORGE — The main gym floor at the Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre (NSC) has been refurbished and with that comes a new look and a new name.

In collaboration with the City of Prince George and community partner Brownridge Insurance, the refurbished floor features the UNBC Timberwolves’ Indigenous logo designed by Gitxsan artist and former UNBC student Trevor Angus.

The project, supported by a six-year sponsorship agreement with Prince George business Brownridge Insurance, will see Gym 2 renamed Brownridge Court through to the end of the 2030 season.

“The prominent placement of these meaningful pieces represents UNBC’s ongoing commitment to acting on Truth and Reconciliation, a core theme in our strategic plan Ready.” says UNBC President Dr. Geoff Payne. “This project is another important opportunity to celebrate Trevor’s artwork and the meaning behind the motto gifted to us from Dakelh Elders – encapsulating UNBC’s spirit of academic freedom, respect for others and our continued efforts to recognize all perspectives.”

“The Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre is a jewel in the City of Prince George and a remarkable community asset for all to enjoy,” says Mayor Simon Yu. “Complementing lat fall’s unveiling of the mural in the NSC entrance, this beautiful artwork further enhancing our first-class fitness facility, adding another unique and inspiring touch for both residents and visitors.”
