Partnership with Community Associations Community Associations benefit from partnerships with EnhancePG by receiving support to enhance or start new neighbourhood projects, recreation programs or community events.

EnhancePG was part of steering committee looking into the branding of Prince George as “The Volunteer City”. Benefits: • Builds energy, support and volunteers for big events such as the Canada Winter Games and PG’s 100th

Anniversary. • Celebrates and encourages the 1000’s of volunteers that work in every sector of our community to make

Prince George the great place that it is. • “Volunteer City” is a branding that everyone can (or could) self-identify with. • Counteracts negative branding such as, “Crime Capital”. • Is a lasting Legacy after the Canada Winter Games and PG’s 100th Anniversary. • Prince George has a vibrant Volunteering spirit – it’s time to celebrate and brand our City in this positive

light.

It’s in our nature

THE VOLUNTEER CITY
