 It's a great pleasure to be here this morning with all of you and to be on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples to celebrate sport in British Columbia and in particular the largest multi-sport event ever to be held in Northern British Columbia. This is the first time British Columbia has ever hosted the Canada Winter Games and it's right in Prince George. It's not just about sport. It's a fantastic opportunity for Northern British Columbia to benefit both economically, culturally, all of those things. It's something that can bring the type of attention to our province that you just simply will not get in any other way and it really builds on the theme of Canada starts here and Canada is going to start in Prince George in February of 2015.
