FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prince George, B.C. – On Sunday, September 28, the City of Prince George’s premier sports and entertainment venue turns 30. The CN Centre, formerly known as the Prince George Multiplex, opened its doors for the first time on September 28, 1995.
To honour the occasion, the City is hosting the Big Celebration Event at the CN Centre from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The celebration will also include the City’s annual International Students Welcome and Thank You PG Volunteer Appreciation events. Residents can expect:
- Live music
- Free public skating and equipment rentals sponsored by Architecture 49
- Free food and drinks (wouldn’t be a 30th celebration without cake!)
- Visit from Mr. PG
- Fun games and giveaways
The event will also feature former City Councilors, the building committee, and suppliers who were a part of creating the CN Centre as we know it today.
“This is a great way for our staff to bring three City events under one roof,” said Mayor Simon Yu, “the CN Center is a beloved facility in Prince George – nearly everyone in our community has a memory to share about events they’ve attended there. We hope to hear those stories at the Big Celebration Event later this month, meet newcomers to Prince George, and celebrate the dedication of local volunteers!”
The Big Celebration Event concludes a week of fantastic events marking the CN Centre’s 30th birthday, including:
- Bryan Adams. Tuesday, September 23. Bryan Adams has sold more tickets than any other artist in the CN Centre’s history!
- 30 Years of Laughs with Brent Butt. Thursday, September 25.
- Welcome Back Cadillac Ranch with Fresh Horses, Canada’s premier Garth Brooks tribute band. Friday, September 26.
- CN Centre’s 30th Birthday Party with Trooper. Saturday, September 27.
The Big Celebration Event is free and open to all residents; no registration is required. Find more information on the City website.
