PRINCE GEORGE — It may be hard to believe, but the holiday season isn’t far off.

And with holidays comes one of the most anticipated events of the year in Prince George, the Festival of Trees.

This year’s 30th edition of the annual festival runs from November 29 through December 3 and will support enhancing the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at UHNBC.

Funds raised will help double current capacity to 15 beds, allowing premature infants born as early as 30 weeks’ gestation to receive vital care they need while remaining close to their families and support systems.

“This is a significant enhancement to care for our littles patients in Northern BC ensuring they have the best possible start in life, and one that we felt matched the legacy of Festival of Trees,’ said Aimee Cassie, Spirit of the North, CEO. “The impact of Festival has been felt by thousands of patients both locally and throughout the North, and this year we wanted the theme to reflect the spirit of Festival after all these years.”

Tickets are currently on sale online at www.spiritofthenorth.ca.
