City to ask public to OK $15.86M in CN Centre work

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

To reduce costs to taxpayers, the City should pursue Green Municipal Fund funding to support building upgrades that improve efficiency and reduce long‑term energy and operating costs.

Advocacy group slams lack of public consultation on UNBC development plan

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

I would rather see UNBC build downtown or on already cleared land, such as over Parking Lot "C" and the area immediately north of it, as well as the reserved parking lot near the David Douglas garden. I don’t understand why forested areas are being cleared when parking lots, often underused and a poor use of space, already exist. Building over parking lots, with one level of underground parking, makes far more sense and would avoid forest loss. You could even build over a portion of parking lot "A" and "B" while preserving the spectacular view of the mountains.

UNBC aims to see new residential neighbourhood near campus

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

This feels like sprawl and a loss of the forest that makes Prince George unique. As someone who stayed because of the city’s nature, arts, and culture, I wish UNBC would first prioritize integrating with the existing city rather than expanding further up the hill. There’s a real opportunity to strengthen its connection to the community by investing in the downtown campus and housing. Even if development on the hill is needed in the future, I’d like to see more innovation and a stronger commitment to keeping students connected to the city. It's the connection to vibrant downtown that will keep students here.

Construction underway at data centres in Prince George and Mackenzie

This company’s lighting is detracting from Prince George’s riverfront. I hope the Heritage Committee steps in to protect the historic river view they’re meant to preserve (Heritage View (e.g., view of the historic river confluence).The company should use some of the money to fix its lighting and add evergreen trees, to reduce the impact of their facility on our riverfront. As it stands, it feels inconsiderate of the community.

Downtown PG offering free bike valets this summer

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

Thank you Downtown PG for providing secure, convenient bike parking! Infrastructure like this matters. The benefits of cycling are often undervalued—not only does it improve individual health, but it also strengthens the local economy. Communities that invest in bike-friendly infrastructure support small businesses, increase local spending, and create more vibrant, accessible downtowns.

Fraser-Fort George directors look to bring vacancy tax north

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

An empty homes tax makes sense when farmland around the Robson Valley and McBride is owned by Americans who use it mainly a stagging ground for a once a season hunting trip, while local farming families struggle to access land. It discourages absentee ownership and supports land being used by those who actually live and work here.

Tourism Prince George runs small 2025 deficit

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

Such a great move! I’d love to see more placemaking activations at the market. With Crossroads patio gone, a monthly Friday happy hour with live music and a beer garden at the market would be a great way to bring some energy to the Civic Centre.

Families invited to Storytime Under the Stars

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

As the civic core gets activated and the library moves ahead with plans to allow residents to use the deck, this green oasis is really helping Canada Games Plaza grow into a welcoming community hub with a beautiful garden to escape to.

From Coldest Night of the Year to a new lease on life

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

I’ve always respected Prince George. It’s a city where the organizations and community step up to provide services and support that many other places don’t. People facing mental‑health and substance‑use challenges come here because they know there’s a greater chance of finding help than in their own communities. There’s something genuinely noble about that. Respect PG.

Studio 2880 property proposed for rezoning

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

This is an exciting development! I completely agree that a modern arts space for the community with live/work studios for artists would be a fantastic addition to PG. Studio 2880 has done incredible work with the resources they have, and they deserve continued support through expanded and upgraded facilities. This would also help densify one of PG’s main transit‑served corridors.

Local businesses looking to collaborate, not compete

PrinceGeorgeCitizen

Partnerships like these are essential for reaching and growing shared audiences. Better promotion of Civic Core events would go a long way, and bringing in collaborators like MadLoon could help draw new crowds and energy.It’s great to see the PG Citizen consistently highlighting arts and culture through its “What’s Happening in PG” posts. And finally, late-night food downtown! The quality and creativity in PG’s food, drink, and music scene are genuinely impressive. There’s a lot here to be proud of about PG.
