Arts council's Eli Klasner calls out Civic Core Plan flaws

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

35

There's a lot of truth in what Eli Klasner has to say. Can the City hire a librarian/archivist to go through and list all the reports and researches done through the years. However much money has been wasted duplicating previous efforts, it will probably more than pay for the bloated salary and benefits required to hire a qualified person.Put the current projects on hold and start fresh with a base of facts and requirements before spending any more money on pie-in-the-sky wish lists.

Branding project to update city's image

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

16

Didn't we pay for a re-branding of our "huge" city a number of years ago? I believe tee shirts were sold bearing the image of trees, cutbanks and rivers? I don't know who paid the artist or what amount they were paid but it did not go anywhere in any noticeable way.Instead of paying presumable good money to brand our city, I suggest putting the money, time and effort into cleaning up our streets. Actually housing the current unhoused population, creating meaningful facilities for those who cannot care for themselves and giving the fire patrol proposal a chance to either work as is or improving the plan.Sorry Ms. Ramsay, much as I admire your rose-coloured glasses view, you might spend more time and thought on some of the schemes you consider before cheerleading them to the public.Mr. Simpson, I am sorry you tried to take the ball and run with it to promote our City but Ms. Rogers deflated the ball immediately.Why is a Vancouver company once again winning the contact for this?

Bedbug infestation raises concerns in Victoria Towers

Other apartment buildings treat the whole building at the same time. Kind of like cockroach infestations, you have to cover every area or you will not be successful. Lots of personal items - books, upholstered furniture and cloth items have to be removed.

Sinclar scaling back operations at three mills by 40 per cent

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

How will the curtailment at Lakeland Mills affect the energy lines that the City built and signed off on? Is there a certain amount of waste product necessary to feed the system ensuring that all attached to it will continue to be available? I would like to be reassured that the City will not need to subsidize the mill in the future to provide the energy required.

Just curious. How many charging stations are there in the city and how often are they utilized? Which locations are the most popular? How much does it cost and who does it cost per kilogram of greenhouse gas emissions?

While I understand the risk we all take by spending time outside in the sun and cloud shine, it is not in the City's mandate to provide sunscreen to the masses. I suggest that Northern Health would be the entity to approach about this. They do or did provide free condoms to anyone who asked, maybe they could also provide bottles of sunscreen as well?

Prince George considered Canada's 13th most generous city

This is based on GoFundMe so only a small piece of our generous town's donations. For a truer picture you would need to add in volunteer hours and other fund-raising numbers from what we all contribute to throughout the year. Good on us though!

Is the museum climate controlled? It's too bad that the lease-in, lease-out agreement wasn't held and invested for needs like this. Imagine an eternal fund that could have used the interest only income to cover one-time expenses of various organizations here. In the big scheme of things $40,000 isn't an impossible amount, surely there are fundraisers that could cover this. Get creative!
