The Prince George Cougars will be spreading the word about healthy living to students.
Due to the pandemic, the Spirit of Healthy Kids program will be held virtually this year.
Last year, the Cougars, the Northern Health Authority, and the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation expanded the SOHK School Program to include schools across the Northern Health region.
The program, now in its sixth year, is being offered to close to 200 elementary schools throughout the North.
“The ongoing pandemic has impacted everyone and despite the challenges our team is facing, we felt it was more important than ever to find a way to offer our extremely successful school program this winter,” said Cougars’ Vice President, Business Andy Beesley.

The 2020 Prince George Cougar’s Virtual Teddy and Toque Toss raised $11,000 for the Salvation Army Food Bank.
“It’s been an honour to partner with The Salvation Army for so many years and we were blown away by the response of our fans, local businesses, and the community to help combat the unprecedented challenges so many are facing during this pandemic,” said Cougars’ Vice President, Business Andy Beesley.
Despite the longstanding tradition moving online to adhere to provincial guidelines, the initial campaign goal of $5,000 was beaten within a couple of days.
