2015 Winter Games Hosts National Sports Delegates

The Prince George 2015 Canada Winter Games Host Society is pleased to welcome all of the National Sporting Organization Official Technical Delegates to Prince George this week—Feb. 28th- March 2nd, 2013.

The Technical Delegates have been appointed by each of their respective NSOs to work with the 2015 Games to ensure that all of the required Canada Games’ standards for the field of play activities are met.
