It’s our passion to bring the very best in care closer to home.
SPIRIT OF THE NORTH EVENTS
In Northern British Columbia, our shared hopes, dreams, and a commitment to better healthcare connect us all.
Many times, throughout the year, our communities rally together – not just to celebrate, but to make a difference. Our Signature Annual Events, many of which have become a longstanding tradition in our communities, are organized by the Spirit Team - composed of our incredible staff, Board, volunteers, and corporate partners. These events help us to make initiatives that touch every corner of our healthcare system a reality, from cardiac care to mental health, from cherishing our seniors to safeguarding our youth.
The broader community’s enthusiasm shines in our Community Partner Events. Diverse groups, organizations, and individuals align their dedication with ours. Their unwavering support amplifies every cause they advocate for. Whatever funding priority they champion, their passion is evident in every event, and Spirit is humbled and grateful for the unwavering support we see with every initiative.
These campaigns are more than moments; they’re where our community's heart beats loudest. They showcase the power of coming together and the essence of the Spirit of the North. While our journey is ongoing, the consistent support from our community and the relentless efforts of our volunteers and partners remind us just how incredible our region is. Every bit of participation, whether championing an event, attending, donating, volunteering, or simply spreading the word, has an impact.
Together, You put the Spirit in the Foundation.
We’ll Bring The Fun, You Bring The Spirit
