MLA Rosalyn Bird proposes multi-use inland port project

While I agree with the idea of an inland port as PG is ideally situated for it and the airport is a designated refuelling stop for military aircraft and it has been discussed in the past to open a military logistics hub here it has always received Luke warm attention from the province and the feds however with the buildup of Canadas military and the Arctic becoming more prevalent PG is ideally located as a logistics hub and Ottawa is starting to pay attention to the north now so who knows.MLA Bird has some solid ideas and they all do make sense we just need buyin from government, people and industry.

Province-wide state of emergency declared as wildfires grow

The people in Clinton ( Pear Lake fire), Boston Bar ( Big Bar complex fire) and Vernon ( Bradley Creek fire) have been asking Eby to declare a provincial state of emergency for the last two weeks.But it took a major fire in the south okanagan to get the governments attention. Notably because so many Vancouverites and provincial government bureaucrats have properties there and of course, god forbid if fires destroy their cherished vineyards.Watching Global SouthBC News, is this the only fire raging in BC right now ? It must be , because it's all they're covering.

Province-wide state of emergency declared as wildfires grow

Why does the news often omit the fact that most of the largest most distructive fires this summer have been human caused or under investigation meaning it clearly wasn't lightning? This needs to be probed, questioned and certainly part of the discussion and news.

Province-wide state of emergency declared as wildfires grow

And i'm sure that Global SouthBC TV news staff have vested real estate interests in the south okanagan and that's a reason for their biased coverage in favor of the Summerland fire.When their news team uses the phrase " fires are raging across B.C. " what they really mean is Kamloops on south.To the Global SouthBC TV news team THAT is B.C..It must have taken everything they had to send a TV news crew to the Tumbler Ridge tragedy, after they located Tumbler on a map.

MLA Rosalyn Bird proposes multi-use inland port project

This is such a great idea. A military base supported national would be a super stellar plan for Prince George. If there was ever a major event PG is located in a very safe geographic zone. The local college would be able to provide great training facility. How do we accelerate this plan Mrs. Bird, nerd to get Zimmer and Doherty on board.

MLA Rosalyn Bird proposes multi-use inland port project

We need an inland port but I believe it could have a more broad application. Ashcorfts has had much success with theirs and with the pressing ongoing fires in the south put province critically needs more of this infrastructure. I also think this is where a partnership with the L'heidli Tenneh would be of huge value to our region.

All frontline Mounties in PG now equipped with body-worn cameras

That's good. Now the public will be able to view the RCMP perspective instead of relying on viewing select bits of video posted online by friends and family of alleged criminals. It should reduce the amount of criminal sympathizer protests in front of the RCMP detachment too .

a welcome center, that supposedly helps people who are evacuated and have no help, and it is closed on the weekend when it might be need is USELESS especially with all the fires this province has right now...

Old Knights Inn to be demolished

That AAP had better be on every election platform this coming Fall! It's an absolute disgrace! A 'no win' process for the tax payers.

Old Knights Inn to be demolished

I wonder who the former owner(s) were? They purchased it in 2019 for 1.1 million, before the city purchased it for 4.15 million in 2024. Smells awfully fishy to me. Mayor Yu and our entire council voted unanimously in favour of purchasing the knights inn, it’s probably worth mentioning. They tried to pass the absurd price tag off as the assessment lagging behind the actual property value. Yet, only four years earlier the mystery owner payed only 1.1 million to acquire the property. Someone hit the jackpot by selling a dilapidated building for over four times its value. And the city acquired a piece of property that must have been essential to the core plan, because apparently cost was not a factor.

Old Knights Inn to be demolished

a 2024 article titled BC Government Defends Deals to Buy Prince George Hotels “We’ve got three hotels in Prince George, all with the same individuals involved, all with massive profits for hotels that also needed to be renovated afterwards,” Rustad said. “This trend is very disturbing, to see that these kinds of trades are being made, that these individuals, whether having inside information or whatever it may have been.”

City's economic development manager urges action on major projects

Rather than sitting in a nice comfy office an economic development office should be proactive making sure the city has a seat at the table in the planning stages of area projects. Once the money has been found and shovels are ready to hit the ground it is too lateInstead of asking what the city can do he should be pounding on the door telling them what the city has to offer for a project and how those goods and services can improve efficiency or save money.. If more is required that the city will do whatever it can to cut red tape to ensure it gets done. A soft sell approach will not work with projects of this scale
