Integris Credit Union wants to close its office in Parkwood Place and move to the River Point Shopping Centre at the corner of Highway 16 and Ferry Avenue.

That information was made public at the Prince George City Council meeting this week when Council was asked to give first two readings to a bylaw that would allow the financial institution to have a building larger than the space currently allowed. Right now, the maximum allowed within the Z8 zoning is 500 square meters. Integris would like to have a facility that will be about 750 square meters.

In a letter accompanying the application, Lorne Calder, the Chief Financial Officer for Integris says the move would give the financial institution a better distribution of branches that "best suits our members needs." RIght now, the Parkwood Branch and Towne Centre Branches are only 7 blocks apart.

Integris says that while it would close the Parkwood location, its Towne Centre Branch at 1532 -6th Avenue and its 5th and Ahbau Branch at 513 Ahbau Street would remain open at those locations.
