PRINCE GEORGE— The Prince George Cougars have announced that they will be facing off against the Vancouver Giants for Community Heroes Weekend on November 9 and November 10 at the CN Centre.
This weekend will be dedicated to honouring those on the frontline who work to keep our community safe. In recognition of their efforts the Cougars owners have set aside $50,000 worth of tickets for both games to give out to community heroes, including firefighters, RCMP officers, medical staff, teachers, and other essential frontline workers. Local businesses are also being invited to join in on the initiative by purchasing more blocks of tickets, allowing local heroes to attend the game free of charge.
In addition the weekend will feature a Mega 50/50 with a guaranteed jackpot of $50,000, made possible with the help of Inland Truck and Equipment and Link Belt. Tickets for the Mega 50/50 will go on sale on Monday, October 28.
“Community Heroes Weekend always proves to be a fun and exciting weekend for the Cougars. It’s special to get so many essential workers under the same roof watching great hockey and having a great time with one another,” says Taylor Dakers, the Prince George Cougars Director of Business Operations. “Seeing local businesses step up and provide tickets for them and their families is also extremely rewarding. Watching the 50/50 jackpot grow into the six digits and seeing the frenzy that goes along with that is awesome every time.”
