The Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre provides more indoor sport and recreation space in Prince George and enhance opportunities for training and sport development.

The new Charles Jago Northern Sport Centre opened in September 2007. Communities from across central and northern British Columbia supported development of the Northern Sport Centre in Prince George through Cross Regional Account funding from Northern Development in 2006.  The facility is focused on meeting the vision of the communities to create new sporting and sport event opportunities in the region while enhancing the recruitment and retention of students, coaches, and other professionals to central and northern British Columbia.

The Northern Sport Centre facilities include three basketball courts, two indoor fields, an elevated indoor track, two squash courts, fitness rooms and equipment, food service area, public change rooms and washrooms, storage areas, and a multi-purpose meeting room. The facilities also include pull out bleachers to seat 2,000 spectators for sporting events. The Northern Sport Centre is continuing to create opportunities for central and northern BC to host national level tournaments and events.  The announcement that Prince George will host the 2015 Canada Winter Games was noted as directly linked to the region hosting this world-class sporting infrastructure.

The Northern Sport Centre is used extensively by residents of the community and students at UNBC. Indoor soccer leagues have flourished in winter months because teams can play on indoor fields while snow covers the ground outside. Students take full advantage of the Northern Sport Centre with a gym pass included in their fees and intramural sports offered to them through the academic year.
