Aquatic Centre enters two-year renovations hibernation
27Why didn’t the geniuses at the city tell us when they wanted the vote to build the “new” 50 million dollar pool that the old pool would require the same amount of money to “fix “ a few years later? Oh wait, I know cuz they knew that would be stupid and the citizens would not go for it. What a joke the city is. Things need to change.

22In two years time I would not be shocked if the floor of the wave/river pool was left in the dilapidated, unpainted state it has been in for at least the past four years.Seeing how the City lacks any foresight in planning and budgetting I could see the nimrods in charge of " renovations " ( it's actually a rebuild amount of dollars) omitting this aesthetic eyesore when you enter onto the pool deck.

16A slight correction....the wave pool's floor surface has been in a dilapidated, unpainted state since before the start of the pandemic in March 2020.Why didn't the City do anything about its ugly floor in the past six years or more of annual maintenance shutdowns.The City of PG has no civic pride.

18The truck j3et knifed. Why was he speeding in snowy conditions? Has he ever driven a truck in snowy conditions in his life? I question the speed limits on BC Highways. Some areas of the Coquihalla stretch are marked 110 to 130 and these fellows drive 15kph over the limit even in winter. I wouldn't even go over 90 from previous experience.

15As a home owner I really dislike seeing hikes on my property and it makes it even worse when city council decides on a budget and the city council and city staff seem to of lost touch with reality because they don’t seem to understand we don’t care about other jurisdictions and how high their property values we care about what happens in this city and city council has not been very understanding at how hard it is for the vast majority of us homeowners to afford tax increases.I have struggled with this for several years and I am close to retirement and I wonder how I will be able to afford to live in my home as a single income earner. There are days where I just want to sell because the city has done little to curb its spending without dealing with infrastructure issues and on a retirement income you have to make hard choices and I understand why so many seniors balk at paying taxes. Nickel and dime us to death is the order of the day

14Paying federal and provincial income taxes, then paying taxes when purchasing with your already taxed money while those goods and services themselves are taxed behind the scenes, making them more expensive, then paying never ending property taxes can’t be sustainable… at some point something’s gotta give… add interest charges onto all this, and how much of your earned money do you actually keep? Maybe %40? Crazy…

14Class action suite against ICBC? By everyone who has been destroyed by the failure that is no fault insurance. There are no other options, no other company can insure us we are forced to accept whatever they decide to provide. Can someone who understands law explain to me how these people can or why they cannot sue ICBC for the pathetic failings of the no fault system?

13I'd be curious to see the time line of jobs being done. A lot of mills have shutdowns and are crawling with trades workers that get a lot done in a short window. What kind of fixes take this long that cant be done simultaneously.

12There was a time when you knew the trucks were driven by competent people this is exactly what happened in Humboldt I loaded trucks for years to go to Vancouver more than once I saw operators on their own who 1 had no business driving rigs especially alone and 2 the person they were with was just as incompetent one group is largely responsible for all of this half of them couldn’t even back into the loading dock for gods sakes

Newsmaker 2025: Prince George's year of fire
5As terrible as structure fires and their results are, they are just structures.The loss of possessions is sad and tragic.But there is nothing worse than the loss of human life by fire.So when all the whining and complaining is done about the sorry state of burned out downtown buildings just stop and think about the little boy and his Dad who lost their mom and wife in the house fire in Willow River before Christmas.Keep perspective.

82 month Maintenance and Repairs should be done on each Pool Every Year in the Summer Months. If you need to swim in the summer - go to a lake.
