Happy 99th Prince George!

Thursday, March 6, 2014 @ 3:56 AM

Prince George, B.C. – The City of Prince George is  now just 365 days  away from celebrating it’s 100th  birthday.

It was March 6th 1915, that the City  was incorporated, growing from the  trading post of Fort George that  had been established in the homeland of the Lheidli T’enneh in the early 1800’s.

A special committee has been developing  centennial  celebration  plans for the  City and later this morning will  unveil the official “logo “ and "Brand"  for the centennial celebrations. 

The Exploration Place will help  residents ramp up for the  centennial  with  a new interactive system to collect and preserve the stories  from Prince George families.

The  celebrations in 2015  will include time capsules,  home coming,  entertainment and  fireworks.

Are we ready for yet another logo on a branding iron?

Who remembers some of the others?

Tourism PG?

Canada Winter Games 2015?

PG Flag?

Hopefully local history will be highlighted in the year leading up to the centennial.
The last centennial I remember is 1967, and there were plenty of reminders all across Canada of where we had been, and where it was thought we were going.

Wow, look where we are going…. Seems the local media are not printing this?

Try not to come across appearing like a gangster. Ya might get yer picture taken. Weed is still a iffy and touchy subject. Nuthin’ etched in stone yet. Be careful out there.

If yer paranoid, park up the street in your “1984” car instead of the parking lot so they don’t write down yer license plate number.
