"As
the host community for the 2006 Northern BC
Winter Games we are all so proud of our
community. Hosting the Games is a big job, but
it is also a lot of fun, it brings the
community together, it provides an economic
engine for winter sports and shows the rest of
the world what you have. Friendships are
made that are everlasting. Our youth received
an opportunity to look at the bigger picture
and see how they can continue to pursue their
dreams.. It just brings out the best in
everyone. Thank-you for giving our community
the opportunity to rise above the crowd."

"To
host successful Northern BC Winter Games,
the host committee must be focused, and the
whole community must be committed. This is an
opportunity to showcase the local sights,
images, and talents. I can certainly tell the
members here that with each Games I attend, it
never ceases to amaze me the depth of human
resource and talent that exists within the
north. I remember well, the tremendous number
of volunteers and the work that the Directors,
their committees, and their volunteers did to
make the Terrace Northern BC Winter Games a
success. I see that duplicated year after year
in community after community."
Roger
Harris, MLA, Skeena
"I
would encourage any community that is able to
apply and participate in hosting the Northern
BC Winter Games to do so. It is a great
opportunity to build community spirit and
pride, as well as showcase your city or
town."
