Prince George, B.C. – The Charles Jago Sports Centre at UNBC was the site of a 2015 Canada Winter Games test event Saturday.

The Sports Operating Committee hosted a test event for archery, with 40 archers from all over B.C. on hand to attempt to qualify to represent the province at the Prince George games.  Competitors aged 15 to 21 were here to shoot two 300 rounds on an Olympic style target.  A perfect score is 300, and the archers here have attained perfection in the past through hard work and a lot of dedication.

This was the latest in a long series of test events for the 2015 Canada Winter Games officials.
