I wonder what, other than having a wonderful time, the special project will be that will show off the work of the Chamber and help improve the image of Prince George.
Can someone help me with some history? If Prince George does not have its 100th anniversary till 2015, what was the name of the Chamber when it was founded 5 years prior to the City?
