One of the things I truly take pride in with Prince George, is the caliber of community boosters we have. Yes, we have a good number of naysayers, but they are by far outshined by the contribution of those who actually get off their duffs to do something. I can think of many more names I'd like to see recognized on this list sometime soon, but for now, thanks to those already named... you stand in proud company.
