The College of New Caledonia (CNC) and the Prince George Kodiaks Football Club are pleased to announce a new partnership that connects education, sport, and community spirit in Northern British Columbia.
Through this agreement, CNC becomes the Official Education Partner of the Kodiaks, creating opportunities for players to pursue post-secondary education while strengthening ties between the college, the football club, and the wider community. The partnership will be celebrated at CNC Night at the Kodiaks during the team’s home game at Masich Place Stadium on Saturday, August 16.
“This partnership is about more than football — it’s about investing in people,” said Cindy Heitman, President of CNC. “The Kodiaks inspire young athletes to work hard, lead with integrity, and support one another. At CNC, we share those values and want to help create pathways for players to succeed both on and off the field.”
Under the agreement, CNC will provide tuition support for Kodiaks players, work with the club on joint recruitment campaigns, and offer practical learning experiences for CNC students, including kinesiology placements. The Kodiaks will recognize CNC in stadium signage, game-day programs, and on their website, and will offer CNC students discounted game tickets.
“Partnering with CNC empowers our players to turn goals into achievements—on the field, in the classroom, and in life,” said Kodiaks President, Craig Briere. “Together, we’re building lasting pathways for success that will strengthen our team, inspire our athletes, and create a positive impact across Prince George.”
Join the crowd at Masich Place to watch the Kodiaks take on the Langley Rams on Saturday. Kick off at 6 pm.
