FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — The Fort St. John Elks Speed Skating Club is set to host the BC Long Track Championships and all-ages FUNale competition at the Pomeroy Sport Centre this weekend. 

The provincial-level competition gives skaters from within the province with qualifying time standards the opportunity to earn championship medals in their age categories.

Skaters from outside of B.C. and skaters without qualifying time standards can compete with a chance to develop their skills and work on their personal bests.
