Prince George, B.C.- For UNBC forestry professor, Chris Opio, helping those in his  homeland of Uganda was a no brainer. 

 

His efforts in the development of the Northern Ugandan Development Foundation, have resulted in 29 wells being developed in Uganda, providing clean, safe drinking water to some 43 thousand people.

 

It is an effort which has resulted in Chris being recognized as one of the Champions of Change, a competition sponsored by the CBC. 

 

Tonight, Prince George City Council also recognized Chris for his work, as Mayor Dan Rogers presented him with a special certificate of recognition.
