MAYOR’S WELCOME
On behalf of City Council and the citizens of Prince
George, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our great
city. We are proud to be located in the heart of the
province and on the traditional territory of the Lheidli
T’enneh.
The Prince George area is rich in natural resources
and the forest industry lies at the foundation of our
diverse manufacturing sector and increasingly
diversified economy. We are connected to the
world by modern telecommunications, road, air,
and rail, which make the city an ideal location for
manufacturing, transportation, logistics and export
operations.
The diversification and growth of the city is also
enabled by our two great post-secondary facilities:
the College of New Caledonia and the University of
Northern British Columbia. No city of our size in Canada
has the same diversity of educational programs and,
in fact, UNBC, which is known as Canada’s Green
University, was recently recognized by Maclean’s magazine as the top small university in Canada.
Prince George is very competitive when it comes to attracting new business. We have innovative
downtown incentive programs to stimulate development on a variety of projects in Prince George.
Council recently approved an exciting multi-family housing incentive to encourage new home
construction in the city centre, along major thoroughfares, and near busy retail centres.
We strive to support existing businesses, grow and diversify our economy through our Business
Retention and Expansion program, and work closely with many local business organizations.
We celebrated our centennial in 2015 and we have seen many big economic changes in recent
years. Since 2012, more than a quarter of a billion dollars has been spent on significant projects and
developments in Prince George.
It is an exciting time for Prince George. Great things are happening here, and I hope that you choose
to become a part of our wonderful city.
