The Brownridge Court at UNBC’s Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre (NSC) has scored big – winning the prestigious 2024 Sport Floor of the Year Award from Treeco Distribution and Bona Sport.
Unveiled last August, the court’s stunning redesign features an Indigenous logo created by Gitxsan artist and former UNBC student Trevor Angus. The project was a collaborative effort between the UNBC Timberwolves, the University of Northern British Columbia, and Titan Sport Systems, with support from the City of Prince George.
The competition was fierce, with seven top projects vying for the grand prize – a framed portrait of the winning floor design. UNBC’s entry stood out for its innovative approach and exceptional execution, according to Treeco representatives.
“UNBC’s winning project is a testament to what’s possible when innovation meets collaboration,” praised a Treeco spokesperson. “The team’s ability to combine cutting-edge design with unparalleled craftsmanship, while maintaining a deep commitment to client satisfaction and excellence, set this floor apart from the competition.”
The Sport Floor of the Year Award celebrates excellence in hardwood sport flooring across Western Canada, recognizing designs that inspire both athletes and spectators. For UNBC, the award highlights how the university’s commitment to Indigenous art and athletic excellence has created a truly unique home court for the Timberwolves.
