Current Prince George Air Quality Health Index is 3 out of 10. The highest in the province, but still not all that bad. Welcome to Prince George, just try not to breath too deeply :)

What a bunch of winners… so whats with the ‘welcome to McBurger, hope you don’t get food poisoning’ comments? No wonder PG has an image problem.

I am sure they will all have a good time, enjoy some great facilities for the games, breath fresh winter air, and meet locals who are all friendly and helpful. To insinuate through innuendo anything else comes across as sour losers with defeatist mentalities.
