I am just wondering if these are paid positions? If so, isnt this a bit of overkill on the management end. I understand a board and all that but since when do we need so many managers. Is this going to turn into an Olympic crap show?
Good choices! Hopefully the City won’t spend too much of our taxpayers funds on “unpaid” positions.
Of course they’re paid postions. 7 senior managers for a project the size of the Canada Games is hardly overkill. Obviously you’ve never been involved in an event of this size.
I’d guess they hit 150-200 paid staff before it’s all said and done.
Throw in 5000 volunteers and you start to get an idea of how big Canada Games area.
Before you start slagging it educate yourself.
I think this is one of the best things that has happened to Prince George since the Cancer Clinic.

You are off the wall he spoke. You mean the Haldi recovery centre. Thank God you don’t run our tax dollars. No punt intended.
If only PG could be so lucky to attract such talent to positions like pot hole repair, snow removal, street sweeping, etc. More tax increases and coin down the drain on another unneeded project.
Continue on city hall, soon the taxpayer will be drained.
