Prince George, B.C.  – Here we go again, for the fourth straight year,  the CN Centre has been nominated for the prestigious Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Award: The “Air Canada Centre” Major Facility of the Year” (under 8,000 seats).

 

The CN Centre has been nominated every year the award has been presented.

 

The nomination tops off what can only be described as a truly remarkable one for the facility.

 

The jewel in the crown of a year of performances was the Elton John concert, a show which Prince George fans will be talking about for years to come. 

 

 “We hosted a remarkable range of amazing performers. These included rock shows like Three Days Grace, Billy Talent, and Bryan Adams, country shows like Corb Lund and Reba, and even comedy shows like Jeff Dunham” says Glen Mikkelsen, Entertainment & Marketing Supervisor.

 

The competition is stiff, with the CN Centre up against:

 

 

 

CN Centre & Community Arenas Manager Andy Beesley says, the nomination is a direct expression of the staff’s expertise and skilful ability to deliver exceptional service to promoters, artists and production crews. “It also is a reflection on the tremendous job our partner organizations deliver. Without the tremendous contributions from the staff from Ticketmaster, Eurest Foods, Regional Security, Phoenix First Aid, and International Crowd Management, the 2011 nomination would not be possible. We are also indebted to all the community organizations and businesses that help us and aid us in hosting world-class entertainment. The CN Centre is very fortunate to have such a passionate and committed team of people!”

 

The winner of The “Air Canada Centre” Major Facility of the Year, will be announced at the sold out Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry’s gala banquet next week in Toronto, Thursday, March 10th, 2011.
