Moore's Meadow rezoning passes first three readings

“Rezoning the subject area to P1 at this stage would establish a parks and recreation land use expectation before the city has completed the technical analysis necessary to determine the most appropriate long-term use of the lands,” the report said.How dare we the citizens decide what to use our land for.....

Nurses rally after reports of intimidation at Northern Health

The nurses should not have to picket to get a pay raise , what would we do with out them? They also should be working in a SAFE hospital. To the nurses out there -thank you for your service and hard work I know you jobs are not easy.

Proposed smoking ban exception has cancer society concerned

I am not convinced that a performer smoking, because the habit was common in the era the story is from, really does much to improve the show.The vast majority today are fully aware of the negative impacts of tobacco use, and research I have seen raises serious concerns about vaping as well.We know that the " do as I say, not as I do" teaching method was a failure, so how about we have performers be good examples as much as possible. If the acting is lower quality, I don't see smoking or vaping coming to save the day, but it would be a poor example to youth, especially.

Province intends to add 3,500 new EV chargers by 2035

Always know that when the provincial government and the BCHydro CEO reference " British Columbians " they really mean people in the B.C. south, specifically Vancouver, Victoria, and the Okanagan.Global SouthBC News does the same.

Financial advisor McLaren launches council campaign

Good luck on a successful campaign.Municipal overspending isn't unique to PG but is a problem in every B.C. municipality and elsewhere in Canada.Ask Mayor Yu , city council, and any city manager if they would be in favor of the Province reinstating the Office of the Municipal Auditor and their answer would be an absolute no.Just as the media has extensively reported about the obscene salaries city managers, mayors, and directors make in metro Vancouver, P.G. is no different.Will any of P.G.'s city administration take a paycut with Northwood's closure shrinking the City's tax revenue ?Absolutely not.So good luck McLaren in fighting the city establishment and CUPE.Let's find out if your tough talk is all bark and no bite and you'll end up in the same rut as everyone else at the City.At least your ego will get the boost it craves, that's the reason most get into politics in the first place.

Project underway to protect 7.57 million acres of land in northwest BC

First it’s 30% by 2030. Then they want to ban Canadians from using 50% of Canadian land by 2050. No camping, no bike riding no hiking. No access period. Elbows up.

So much fun when you have a six figure income, 100% job security, and a full time job to return to once your little party is over !I wonder how much fun the Northwood Pulp workers are having ?

i won't be going anywhere near areas where smoking occurs... hopefully others wont either. but that is their choice. there is absolutely no need for any smoking in any performances,,,, it doesn't add one thing to them....

It was a fun time! If anyone has any further questions, BCNU has a great infographic about exactly the kind of behaviour NH nurses are experiencing!

Financial advisor McLaren launches council campaign

His proposal for the City to hire four lawyers to litigate on behalf of the City is intriguing.Why settle on four ? Does McLaren have four lawyer friends or acquaintances that have done work for him in his private and business life ?City Manager Babicz is a former lawyer who worked for Wilson King back in the day.Does McLaren propose paying each of the four lawyers to compensate them for the loss of their private practice ?If so, the going rate is $ 326,000 annual salary each, what City Manager Babicz gets paid by the PG taxpayer now.So I suppose McLaren is suggesting the City pay four times that amount or $ 1.3 million dollars annual salary total for four city employee lawyers.Never trust a man who loves the sound of his own voice and loves to be on TV.

Nurses rally after reports of intimidation at Northern Health

“It was a fun time” is exactly why some people are losing sympathy. Industrial action may be necessary, but every reduction in patient care increases risk for patients. There’s nothing funny about that.

Use a fake cigarette, just you would use a fake firearm....the fact that this is being considered, is asinine.

105 grand to remove a shed?! The conversation shouldn't have made it past the price tag.

That is the worse decision that council has agreed on. . I don't understand how they can decide on such a thing without having the public's view on this... May go out and get the public's view on this matter. The entertainment world will be suffering iover this decision, as there will not be any non smokers going to these events, and really I believe there are more non smokers out there than there are smokers. Instead of going forward, it seems like Prince George is going backwards
