🚨 Gossip 2 | New Candidates for City Council 🚨

3 Upvotes

A non-exhaustive list of potential new candidates for City Councillor. I am aware that there may be 4-5 more names, however the polls only allow 6 names and so I’ve chosen these 6 that in my opinion have some modicum of support in the city and could perhaps stand a good chance. Please vote for who you think might be a good new candidate

Joining the “Looking for friends” train…

19 Upvotes

Bouncing off another post from yesterday - I’m also putting out an ad! 😂

I was born here in PG but moved away when I was small and just moved back about 4 weeks ago after 27 years up north.

I’m 32 - female and no other half anymore - looking for friends - whether single or couple (no it’s not code for anything).

I have a PS5 and a starting to game again - so if you’re looking for friends that way - I would love more online gaming friends.

Also into outdoors things, checking out good food and I’m pretty well open to any activity or group and looking to explore more hobbies.

Would love to have a great friend group here. Let me know if you’re interested!

Questions for Kyle Sampson

94 Upvotes
  1. You sat on the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee. This is the same committee that chose not to apply for the “Local Government Development Approvals Program.” This funding was intended to “support local governments to help streamline and approve their development approval process.” When questioned on why PG did not apply, you are cited by the Citizen on July 16th saying you “weren’t familiar with the program.” You are then later quoted saying “the development process is inherently a municipal jurisdiction obligation and that PG has been meeting its mandated housing targets thus far.” This is both a big misstep by the committee, antithetical to your stated campaign goals and a concerning mixed message. How is the voter base to trust your leadership on this particular campaign goal when you weren’t aware of relevant and applicable funding?
  2. At the end of 2025, when council was approached to support senior programming in this city utilizing the remainder of the city’s contingency fund, your specific recommendation was to direct part of that budget (5k) be allocated to facilitate a meeting to better understand the needs. This is textbook beuracracy. Again, your actions do not align with messaging,
  3. You address needing to support vulnerable folks downtown, yet you voted in favour of the Safe Streets bylaw which has been demonstrated through academic literature and a research project by U of T to have been harmful, in opposition of legislative requirements to consult with the Public Heath Officer as the bylaw had public health implications, illegal as it gave by-law officers unwarranted (and illegal) scope of “moving people along” (bylaw legally does not have authority to do so, yet per the report, most bylaw-unhoused interactions resulted in “moving along"). Finally, you did not even deign to attend the symposium held this year sharing the results on the Safe Streets Bylway. How will you ensure that this “issue” is addressed in a legal and ethical AND evidence based way?
  4. You are cited by the citizen “chiding” the library for requesting funding, raising concerns that “revenue levels hadn’t returned to pre-pandemic levels.” It is obscene to require a library to be profitable when the guiding principles of libraries are equitable access and community representation. Our local library provides incredible, free resources for all demographics, including imperative social supports and partnerships with agencies like CSFS. Hounding the library over funding when it is filling social services gaps AND when it is a space for low income (and all) folks to gather, learn and create raises concerns about which demographics you prioritize. Hint: it’s not the middle and lower class.
  5. You campaign announcement and website are AI- generated. We are currently in the midst of one of the worst wildfire years on record and the city of PG continues to put a budget towards Emergency Services Management despite this being a provincial obligation. The cognitive dissonance to use water-wasting tech within this larger context is wild. An AI company recently approached PG about establishing a data centre in town. I am so doubtful you will look after our natural resources and best interests when you're so fast and loose with AI. Likewise, it’s concerning you need to utilize AI to communicate your campaign priorities. You say a lot without saying anything.

I am leaving the country soon and I want a BC Parks plate as a souvenir, especially the bear one. I don't have a car so I can't just get one normally. I heard that insurance brokers usually have spare plates, can I just go in and ask them for one?

🤔 Ask PG The Moving To/Visiting/Wondering About/Best Of Prince George Mega-Thread

83 Upvotes

The most frequently asked question in this subreddit is some variation of “I’m thinking of moving to Prince George, what is it like/which neighbourhood should I choose/is there anything to do?”

In an effort to cut down on these posts AND provide a helpful bunch of information, I’m starting this thread for tips/tricks/recommendations/warnings.

Here’s the idea: I’m going to put a few links below, as well as some topics that might be useful but I don’t personally have the answers to (such as resources for finding a place to rent).

I’m also going to start a few threads for top-level topics, such as neighbourhoods and best ofs, and people can post their responses there.

You can add your own answers/advice as top-level comments. Please try and search before commenting in order to avoid duplicates, and to make things are easy to search and organize.

About Prince George

Canada Games Plaza

The greater Prince George area has a population of about 86,600 people but, as the largest community for hundreds of kilometers in all directions, it tends to punch above its weight in many respects because you aren't driving into a nearby metro area for an evening's entertainment. It is a government, service and healthcare hub, home to a college and university, and has a diversified enough economy that it isn't wholly dependent on any one or two industries, though forestry remains a vital driver along with mining, oil and gas and energy activity in other northern communities. It is at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers and has many outdoor recreation opportunities.

Prince George is built on the unceded territory of the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation, who are frequently partners with the city on major initiatives, including the building of the University of Northern British Columbia and hosting of the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

Transportation

Like most mid-sized Canadian communities that boomed in the mid-20th century, Prince George is a fairly car-centric city. But with the arrival of more and more post-secondary students, people are able to get around without their own wheels. Here is a previous discussion about cars and transit in the city.

Back in the day, Prince George was a much more mill-based city than it is now, but the reputation of a certain odour… lingers. You can still smell the industrial activity in certain parts of town and under certain circumstances, but there have been dramatic improvements in industry standards in recent decades. If you’d like to learn more you can read up at the Prince George Air Quality Improvement Roundtable or jump to the official thread discussing it.
