1/2 million from Canfor.
Well, I would rather they relocate so we don't have so much pollution in the bowl. I think it would be money better spent for the good of all.
In my opinion, it is a buy off "think of us as someone that contributes to the community not as an entity that causes such pollution".

I am not impressed.

Give it a rest. If it were not for Canfor, this website would not be a reality.

I am impressed with the donation.

Nice donation, but can anybody tell me what exactly did Mayor Kingsley do that he should be in the picture. Photo op??

I prefer anonymous donations ....

This was a $2 million donation to UBC Okanagan in 2005 by someone or some organization which wished to remain anonymous. Instead of having their own name attached to it they gave it in honour of an individual they felt deserved the honour.

Very classy. Very NOT self serving.

As far as the mayor goes, he got elected. He was(is) the most popular of those who stepped forward at the time of the lections. As a result, he is seen in many pictures associated with infrastructure improvements in the City.

That is part of the duties of the position. See page 38, section 9A for protocol. "all cheques in excess of $125,000 provided to a public facility in the City of Prince George shall be officially acknowledged by a photograph of the transfer of funds which must include the mayor or his/her designate."

Canfor is a generous Corporation with other peoples money. This $500,000 came from the ground wolrk done on behalf of these crooked corporations who never paid their advertising and commissions.

The Bently Family and the Patterson Family who own Canfor . Cheated me out of my expenses and commissions and used the VPD and the RCMP to steal my lifes work. I have had to file a complaint with the US Justice Department.

Here are exerts from a letter sent to the US Justice D3epartment

Also I have been arrested three times and have had to face criminal charges in a British Columbia Provincial court room without the benefit of a lawyer as legal aid refused to help me as I have been black Listed in the City of Vancouver by prominent and rich individuals who control the Province and who own American Subsidiaries they are Peter Bentley, James Patterson, Joseph SegaL, Michael Thorp, and others including the Premier of British Columbia Gordon Campbell and his partner in crime Martin Zlotnic who used to be my Lawyer and stole me blind. I am asking the US Justice Department to investigate and prosecute these American Companies under the Rico Act and I am seeking compensation from the Funds taken from Canadian Lumber Companies on behalf of American Lumber Producers.

Electronic Express Inc is a Delaware Corporation Federal ID #98-0157971 I have been defrauded under the Rico Act by Bank of Nova Scotia , Royal Bank of Canada DBA RBC Centura in the USA of financial institution fraud, peonage and slavery, criminal infringement of a copyright and theft of intellectual property by The Federal Government of Canada, The Province of British Columbia, The British Columbia Ferry Corporation, Bank of Nova Scotia, Canfor, Western Forest Products, Interfor, Gold Wood Industries, Forstar Trading, Marineway Industries and the Law Society of British Columbia and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) who relative is Michael Thorp , City of Vancouver (Vancouver Police Department) ET AL. If you help me I will identify all the key Lawyers and Banks in the Province of British Columbia that launder money for our enemies.

It seems that all my problems are with the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the Law Society of British Columbia who are trying to cover up some horrendous crimes and corruption.

So when you use your Sports Center remember how the Donor Canfor came by that money and that this dishonest Corporation will face a FBI investigation in the not to distant future.

Half a mil is a drop in the bucket to canfor. Let's see how happy we are to see their name etched on concrete when the mill shuts down.....

it is already being factored into the economy of the region.
