with the band Hedley, marking 365 days until the Opening Ceremony for the largest multi-sport and cultural event the northern BC region has ever hosted.

Vancouver-based JUNO Award winning, multi-platinum selling group, Hedley will be the headliner for the concert, in part because of their hometown connection to the City of Prince George. Lead guitarist for the band, Dave Rosin, grew up in Prince George.

“The venue has significance to the 2015 Canada Winter Games, but so does the band,” explains Glen Mikkelsen.

public to journey with us, whether that is through volunteering, sponsoring the event or by attending the one-year out celebration event in February.”
