Winter Games Chair Moves South

The Chair of the 2015 Canada Winter Games is leaving Prince George. Anthony Everett has been appointed as the CEO of Tourism Vancouver Island. Everett worked in tourism positions on Vancouver Island from 1999 until 2006. Then he moved north to lead the Northern BC Tourism Association until 2015. His tenure ended in a controversial dispute that involved the court system. From 2011 to 2015, Everett received praise locally for his role as the Chair of the successful Winter Games Host Society.
