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.

23This is very sad. I don’t understand why there wasn’t stiffer penalties. The driver chose to cross a double line illegally. This passing at accelerated speed led to the loss of control, which then resulted in the death of this little boy. The laws need to be toughen up and this driver should be in jail.

22The BC government is failing in so many ways in all aspects of their duties to the people that live and work here. The 105 kmh limit put on trucks doesn’t include all of them apparently. I was recently passed while doing 105 kmh by a truck from Terrace. It caught me like I was standing still and blew by me the same way. CVSE needs to step it up.

19Peter is right about it all. They hand out licenses like candy to anyone and everyone with no delay. These commercial drivers are horrendous on the roads.

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…

14A few years ago we were traveling to Vancouver and Three transport trucks were traveling together and kept passing to stay together , we was very scary having them pass us at high speed, something needs to be looked into , it's about time. Sorry for your loss.

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.

Does it make sense to drive an electric vehicle in Prince George?
11Actually oil and gas usage is increasing around the world.Look around your house, what would exist without oil and gas?Plug in at home. Well most homes are multi vehicle and parked outside and on the street. Imagine, cords everywhere. Only one charging station? Well who is getting up during the night to change vehicles? Oh EV owners, don't let that very expensive battery freeze, no warranty. With the addition of EVs the existing subdivisions do not have the electrical infrastructure to handle the addition load especially in a northern winter when mandated heat pumps switch over to only electricity for heating. Electricity is only going to get more expensive to pay for upgraded electrical infrastructure. In California electricity is very expensive charging an EV at commercial charging stations is actually more expensive than buying gasoline or diesel.Google MGUY. in Australia. When will EV'S in BC pay attention road tax?
