Prince George Red Dress Society announces new monument

May 6, 2022 | 9:52 AM

PRINCE GEORGE – Tammy Meise, the president of the PG Red Dress Society, said that in 2019 the society was provided with funding from the federal government to create a life-sized monument. This monument will be unveiled on September 11th this year on the corner of Highway 97 and Ferry Avenue.

“There is not only collaboration with the City of Prince George, but, with many organizations and different pockets of people that have to come together,” explains Meise. “It’s actually amazing when you provide an opportunity for local businesses, organizations, and people to be a part of something bigger than themselves.”

PGRES was invited to DP Todd Thursday to talk about the proclamation that was signed a year ago.
