Prince George, B.C.- City Council of Prince George has given the green light to revise the Capital expenditure plan so the McMillan Creek Fishing Park can take advantage of a $1,000 donation and possibly a grant.
The concept of the McMillan Creek Fishing Park started in 1999 when resident Ron Lind made a generous donation to the City to see that a fishing park would be established at the confluence of McMillan Creek and the Nechako river.
Since then, the City has secured the necessary land and developed designs for the construction of a “destination” fishing park.
The park will have green space, a parking lot, trail, lawn areas, landscaping and the necessary on site amenities.
The park will provide both a riverfront amenity and an outdoor classroom where school groups and the general public can learn from an interpretive program that focuses on subjects such as fisheries values, watershed health, and riparian habitat.
While there is a budget to construct the Park,($113,000) there is an opportunity for an extra $1,000 from Terasen Gas, and possibly a $14 thousand dollar grant from the Home depot Canada Foundation and Evergreen. That would bring the total budget to $128 thousand dollars
