Making a Difference
**The 2025 Charity Golf Tournament is on hold until further notice. We will update this space and social media when we have more information.
Every summer, the Prince George Airport Authority hosts our annual Charity Golf Tournament open to the public, associates, partners, and friends. All proceeds raised from the tournament are donated to Hope Air, a charity which supports patients traveling for medical treatment.
This event has brought in tens of thousands of dollars for a national charity that is close to our hearts. Prince George continues to be one of the busiest departure airports, with 1,975 flights for local residents in 2023.
A huge thank you to the sponsors and volunteers who make this event a success year after year.
The Prince George Airport also annually participates in major fundraising events such as the Festival of Trees. Other charities and community groups the airport supports include (but are not limited to) United Way of Northern BC, Youth Around Prince George (YAP), BC SPCA North Cariboo Branch, Connective Support Society, Lheidli T’enneh, Meals on Wheels, Intersect Youth & Family Services, Not in my City, PEP Air, Hospice House, and the Fire Pit Cultural Centre.
At the Prince George Airport Authority, we prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are proud to have earned the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification, which reflects our commitment to welcoming individuals of all abilities at YXS. We are dedicated to continually enhancing accessibility throughout our facility.
