Prince George, B.C.-   Tonight’s a big night for parties in Prince George as folks say  goodbye to 2016 and ring in the  New Year. 

RCMP’s CounterAttack will be out in full force,  to ensure revellers  haven’t gotten behind the wheel  after too much celebrating.   The City has hired a security firm to  ensure  folks don’t head to the  Nechako River to  carry on  the celebrations.

Prince George Transit will be operating special New Year’s Eve service  (click here for schedule)    with free  transit service from 7  this evening  until 3 in the morning.

Operation Red Nose will  have 25 teams ready to  get  you home safely from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. ( one hour later than usual). In order to reduce wait times,  Operation Red Nose will only be  providing rides within the City Limits.
