“Our strong belief is that we did not in fact lose the bid. The goalposts were changed after we knocked it out of the ballpark in terms of the quality of our bid package and the truly remarkable site visits we provided.  Prince George has a proud history of hosting world class events and we remain confident that these games would have been no different.

“While the national organizations unexpected decision to no longer consider British Columbia for the 2030 Games is both frustrating and disappointing, we are now shifting our focus to other national and international events that we will be excited to bring to Prince George. It’s not all bad news: $500,000 that was being held in the Major Events Reserve Fund pending the success of the bid is now available for staff to immediately start bidding on other exciting opportunities.”
