About us
Prince George is a bustling city of over 74,000 people situated at the crossroads of Highway 97 (north-south) and Highway 16 (east-west), and at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers. The community is the largest city in Northern British Columbia and has the following assets: a university and college, affordable housing, well-paying jobs, and a comprehensive transportation infrastructure. Prince George's highways and railways, in particular, are complemented by an international airport and these vital transportation links connect local residents and businesses, resources (primarily forest products energy, minerals and metals), and agricultural products to markets around the world. As a major city of the Pacific Rim, Prince George is firmly tied to the global market. Prince George offers unparalleled access to outdoor recreation that contributes to the city's high quality of life and standards of living. The Fraser and Nechako rivers are focal points of an extensive park and trail system and there are more than 100 parks and green spaces that comprise an area about five times the size of Vancouver's Stanley Park. Other attractions include five ski hills within a two-hour drive from the city and many opportunities for year-round outdoor activities from camping to snowshoeing. Learn more at princegeorge.ca Prince George is a community that is known for opening its doors and showing our visitors the beauty and magic of the north. As the official host City for the 2015 Canada Winter Games, we were ecstatic to welcome the nation, and have the opportunity to promote and showcase our beautiful city. The City of Prince George sits on the traditional lands of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, whose name means "people where the rivers come together" in the Carrier language. The City's logo reflects this "coming together" in the way it depicts the confluence of railways, highways, and rivers that give rise of PG's reputation as Northern BC's service hub.

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day and we are honoured to unveil new artwork, called Talukw Bah Bedukaih/Dipping for Salmon by local artists, Ray Desjarlais and Kym Gouchie. The art piece is located in the foyer at the Canfor Leisure Pool and shows an elder dipping their net at twilight on the Nechako River. Kym Gouchie said, “We were given the theme of ‘water’ which was a wonderful source of inspiration. I immediately thought of an outdoor setting to include salmon which has been an important part of our livelihood as Lheidli T’enneh. I was transported back to a memory when I was a child. In the summertime, my parents would always be at the rivers fishing for salmon. It was a community place of gathering and visiting. But when nighttime fell, they became quiet. They would take turns stepping out onto the dip stand. I remember the sound and the rhythm of the net hitting the water. I wasn’t strong enough to pull the long pole and net through the water but I loved watching and I remember the excitement when a salmon was caught. I love that I was able to convey this imagery to my second born child and professional digital artist Ray Desjarlais for the creation of the art piece Talukw Bah Bedukaih/Dipping for Salmon. I hope that it is enjoyed by all and that it evokes memories for those who have had the pleasure of doing this traditional practice of harvesting salmon.” We are honoured to showcase this artwork in our facility - we hope you stop by and see it soon!
