Chamber Willing to Offer Business Opinion on Enforcers

By Jack deWit

As Prince George City Council gets set to meet  Monday night to talk one more time about the Hockey Enforcers,  the Prince George Chamber of Commerce is willing to offer up the opinion of its membership.

Late last week, the President of the Chamber sent out a survey to  all members asking  for input on the  impact,  positive or negative  of having the Battle of the Hockey Enforcers go ahead on August 27th.  When Council voted to cancel the event , the Chamber decided to hold back on releasing the results of the survey for fear of  impacting a lawsuit.

Chamber President Gordon says he would be willing to present the survey results to Council at the Monday night meeting if Council requested the information.  He says he will be in attendance at Monday's session in the event  there are questions.  Gordon says  nearly 200 businesses completed the survey.

Mayor Kinsley has the authority to reintroduce the matter to Council and is planning to do so.  He has also held talks with the promoter ( post cancellation vote) about putting an age restriction on the event, making it open to only those who are 19 and over.  Promoter Darryl Wolski has agreed to that condition, but has made it clear his company has huddled with  its lawyers and legal  action is being contemplated.
