Prince George, B.C. – Canada’s 149^th birthday party wrapped up with a bang in Prince George on Canada Day night.

Viewpoints were selected at various locations around the city as the fireworks display closing out the day’s celebrations was launched from atop Connaught Hill.

Families, friends, old folks and young and in between, the infirmed, new arrivals, the homeless and the affluent, all had an opportunity to close out this Canada Day watching the explosion of light and enjoying the end of the evening.

And you can bet the celebration will be even more bombastic in 2017 when we mark Canada’s sesquicentennial.
