This in honour of the City of Prince George’s 100th birthday this Friday.

“We have some of the best facilities of any city our size in Canada. They’ve been imagined, financed, and built by the people of Prince George over the past 100 years, and one way to say thanks is to throw open the doors for the weekend,” says Mayor Lyn Hall. “It’s especially important given the support people showed during the 2015 Canada Winter Games, when many facilities were not open to the public.”
