It’s official, and very exciting! Fort St. James resident Aileen Prince, mother of six and grandmother to seven, is the lucky winner of a new Pontiac Torrent.
"I was walking through the Pine Centre Mall in Prince George with my daughter. I saw that Torrent on display and I was just drawn to it," said Prince. "I turned to my daughter and said ‘this is my car, I’m going to win it and drive it myself’." She bought two tickets on the spot from a Prince George Ski Club member.
Fred Lautenschlager, Manager of Sponsorships and Promotions for GM of Canada, was the first to contact Aileen on Sunday afternoon right after the winning ticket was drawn in Whistler. "You have no idea what this means to me," she said. "I’m so excited, I’m going to fly to Vancouver this week to pick it up and drive it all the way back to Fort St. James."
Congratulations Aileen and thank you to everyone who sold or purchased tickets for supporting ski racing in BC!
