The past and potential future of Prince George's relationship with Jiangmen

Quite a humorous story but not really when you realize its PG taxpayers picking up the tab for these international holidays taken by Mayor and council members.No Chinese investments in PG and region have ever come from any of these five star holiday extravaganzas.All that's been delivered is a bunch of verbal exchanges and meaningless signed papers.Mayor Colin Kinsley visited China decades ago....does anyone know where that chopstick factory is ?

Councillors to push for improved park, seniors' centre parking

yes the important stuff the town needs i can't remember the last time i seen this park being used for anything but maybe a family outing and those have been few and far between as well.I guess they can cut back on snow removal and water and sewer....

The past and potential future of Prince George's relationship with Jiangmen

I notice they are very quiet on how much this is going to cost us and what we really get out of it

Prince George may lose two clothing stores

It's more critical now than ever to support our local businesses VS congloms.What I would love to see is the Citizen do some articles highlighting the amazing local operations we have.Nest and SproutMadison Ave FashionsSimply BeautifulPlus more (hopefully some other commenters can share their favorite locals too). If you own a small building consider renting to locals and not congloms. Your future markets will thank you for keeping the dollars local.

Universal mental health care review endorsed by committee

“can’t effectively run healthcare as it is.” Yep, there are certainly a number of serious issues. Always has been and always will be. Of course, society & govt should strive for perfection while knowing it will never be reached. I look at my experiences with our healthcare system & I often ask others what their experiences have been like with the our healthcare system. Most cases, the responses are mostly positive. A way to free up dollars, thereby having more resources for our healthcare system, is having people take personal responsibility for their behaviour. Proper diet, reduce or eliminate drugs & alcohol, & exercise. Of course, it’s easier to blame govt than to look in the mirror.

Dinosaurs make their way to Prince George

Great to see the Royal B.C. Museum showing an exhibit that actually interests people, and not a boring " diversity " exhibit.Hopefully the Museum in Victoria retained some of its " colonial " exhibits such as Captain George Vancouver and HMS Discovery, and the Gold Rush era or did the co-governors of B.C. demand that this history be erased ?

The province is in financial dire straits and can’t effectively run healthcare as it is. I don’t think we’ll be seeing this happening anytime soon.

VIDEO: Strange object in Northern skies

“many people thought it might have been an alien spacecraft.” Really? The same people who believe in Sasquatch & Ogo Pogo? Suspect deeper research would indicate “believers” would have consumed a strong weed before any sighting.

No! My favourite clothing store! Really nice clothes in good variety of sizes and always great staff. In my eyes they were just the greatest store for all ages and both male and female. You will be sorely missed.

$55M fundraising campaign launched for UHNBC cardiac equipment

Fingers crossed because the way the NDP is tanking the B.C. economy, deficit, and debt the promised UHNBC acute care tower may just end up being" re-paced " (i.e. cancelled) in next years provincial budget just as the new Burnaby hospital was in this years.But if you need to know more details just contact any First Nations office because they're the ones who currently co- govern B.C.

The long term costs for the province of not moving quickly to enact publicly funded mental health care is costing many lives in B.C. each day. It is also tying up our current medical services and hospitals. Preventative mental health action needs to be taken as well before people develop are damaged with repetitive mental illnesses. It is a public safety issue and it can be a workplace safety issue as well.

Maybe cancel funding for other countries and we could fund our own services?…

First census since the pandemic is now underway

"Canadians started to receive invitations to participate" actually they are DEMANDS with some pretty heavy penalties if you don't bow down to the government once again... some of the questions are absolutely ridiculous....

Nurses rally in Vancouver ahead of strike vote

As someone who recently spent a lot of time at the PG hospital, with 4 visits to emergency in a short time and then an Emergency surgery and recovery. The amount of abuse these nurses and staff take is insane, not just physical abuse but the way people think it is ok to talk to these nurses blows my mind.

Wow, sad. Bootlegger has been at Pine Centre practically since Pine Centre opened if I’m not mistaken.

VIDEO: Strange object in Northern skies

I seen this that night when I was out with my dog around College Heights Elementary School. I thought that can't be an aircraft as it was the same shape as a car headlight would make as it fanned out. I am happy to know that I am not seeing things at this stage. It disappeared as it was moving out west.

Trustee pay back on school board's agenda

That's a much bigger jump (28 percent) than the staff may possibly get (0 to 3 percent)

$55M fundraising campaign launched for UHNBC cardiac equipment

I applaud their ambitious goal and great cause. They have their work cut out for them, fundraising in this day and age feels impossible with every household feeling the strain on their finances. It will be great having Shirley Bond chairing the initiative and although retired, she is the representative we had who fought so hard to get us a cancer center that then opened in 2012. I remember when that seemed like a pipe dream. We would all love to see their goals achieved and cardiac care in the North.
