Tourism Prince George has come up with a list of 365 activities that are all right in Prince George’s back yard.
 
The official launch of the new project comes tomorrow at Exploration Place where  this initiative will feature activities and testimonials  through the eyes of those who know the activities best.
 
The launch tomorrow is free and family friendly with a list of diverse activities:
·        Snow painting ( with some assistance from the folks at the Two Rivers Art Gallery),
·         Candle dipping under guidance from Huble Homestead,  
·        Snowshoeing in the park with Stride and Glide Sports and Exploration Place,
·        Petting farm with Blackspruce Farms, 
·        Story time with the P.G. Public Library,

That’s not all, the event will also feature the release of the 2013 Prince George Visitor Guide.
 
The TakeOnPG launch is set for 10:00 till 2:00.

looking at that list maybe we need to refine it down to “Nothing FUN to do in Prince George”.
lol – I keed I keed ;)

“Snow painting” …. men only????

Thanks for the initiative TPG:)

Snow painting? Candle dipping?! Booorrring! They’re not helping their cause.

Hundreds of stores to rob, thousands of residences to B&E, who says there’s nothing to do in PG.

Oh, positive things. My apologies.

Snow painting. One colour used – Yellow!!!

I heard them on the radio the other day. Funny thing was all he talked about was the list and really didn’t mention any of the actual activities.

To me it sounded like he was saying look I made a list, so I’m actually doing work. Must have been a fun activity. Tourism in PG…..

Where is the list of 365? Is one of the 365 activities having breakfast at McDonalds?

How about sleeping under the stars in the neighbours backyard?

Going for pulled pork at the new downtown restaurant?

Going to City Hall and being there when the Mayor arrives to open the door for her.

Sitting on the steps of the law court and playing a guessing game of what business the people have who enter there.

Climbing to the top of the reservoir on Cranbrook Hill road and taking pictures of the City during an air inversion.

Standing at the viewpoint shelter at UNBC which overlooks University Way and the city and tune your shortwave radio to see if aliens are trying to make contact.

I mean, such a list would be endless.
