PRINCE GEORGE, BRITISH COLUMBIA 2016 COMMUNITY PROFILE MAYOR’S WELCOME On behalf of City Council and the citizens of Prince George, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our great city. We are proud to be located in the heart of the province and on the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh. The Prince George area is rich in natural resources and the forest industry lies at the foundation of our diverse manufacturing sector and increasingly diversified economy. We are connected to the world by modern telecommunications, road, air, and rail, which make the city an ideal location for manufacturing, transportation, logistics and export operations. The diversification and growth of the city is also enabled by our two great post-secondary facilities: the College of New Caledonia and the University of Northern British Columbia. No city of our size in Canada has the same diversity of educational programs and, in fact, UNBC, which is known as Canada’s Green University, was recently recognized by Maclean’s magazine as the top small university in Canada. Prince George is very competitive when it comes to attracting new business. We have innovative downtown incentive programs to stimulate development on a variety of projects in Prince George. Council recently approved an exciting multi-family housing incentive to encourage new home construction in the city centre, along major thoroughfares, and near busy retail centres. We strive to support existing businesses, grow and diversify our economy through our Business Retention and Expansion program, and work closely with many local business organizations. We celebrated our centennial in 2015 and we have seen many big economic changes in recent years. Since 2012, more than a quarter of a billion dollars has been spent on significant projects and developments in Prince George. It is an exciting time for Prince George. Great things are happening here, and I hope that you choose to become a part of our wonderful city.
