Prince George, B.C.- The Charles Jago Sports Centre will have a liquor license.
 
The University of Northern B.C. applied to switch its liquor license from a conference room to the Sport centre and to add 14 more seats to make it 139 seats.
 
The City’s policy on seating outside the central business district is a maximum of 125, and while this application is over that amount, Staff say it is in keeping with the size of the facility.

So, the application of UNBC to open a new pub called Shananigans is also outside the central business district? And isn't it pretty close to the Sports Centre?

You know, I've often thought it would be great to have a beer garden at the soccor fields too. You know, something for the parents to do while their kids play. Chester
I personally think we have enough drinking venues and establishments.

Chester I liked your tongue in cheek comment on beer gardens at the soccer fields so that parents can have something to do while their children play. The sad part of it is though is that some arch moron will undoubtedly think that it is a great idea.
Seems odd to having drinking establishments at a location that has little public transportation in the evenings. There are a lot of things odd about this city.
So it's okay for the uni. to have TWO liquor licenses, but no (public) drinking in the CN Centre. Is that a statement on the types of people that attend certain sporting events? or just another example of our small town thinking?

Yeah, OK to get drunk and support the most deadly, violence inducing drug on planet Earth but better not try to smoke a little pot... you'll be called a loser and end up in jail.

Life on Earth makes less logical sense with each passing day.

Humans are insane.
The numbers are not in yet, but this Charles Jago Sportsplex is going to be a big,. I MEAN BIG money bleeder. They are originally going to be subsidized $300,000.00 by UNBC and a further $300,000.00 by the City, however if you can judge by the number of Prince George residents that actually support the Centre the cost will be a lot higher.

Another example of poor planning in Prince George. This one should be dubbed **Dezells Disaster**
