Prince George, B.C.- They come from  Korea, Japan, Sweden, Germany, India, Saudi Arabia and  a dozen other nations.  They are students, who   have come to Prince George to learn and to experience  life in  this Northern B.C. city.

For the 6th straight year,  the City of Prince George  has  put out the welcome mat,  providing the venue for  a welcome to P.G. Party for these students.

With  70 students here  under the banner of Shecana International,  and another  130 more  studying at CNC,   all were invited to  mingle and  party on the steps of City Hall.  With Save On Foods providing the  hamburgers and the City providing tours of City Hall,  students were welcomed  with music, food and dancing.

Many chose to pose with  a Mountie and the RCMP mascot ( see photo at right) , while others waited for a piece of the special cake  that was  given the official cut by Mayor Lyn Hall,  Trevor Lutz of Scotia Bank,  and reps from UNBC and  Save On Foods.
