PRINCE GEORGE — Mr. PG is flying a new flag.

A Support PG flag has been raised by the well known landmark at the intersection of Highways 16 and 97.

“Support PG is a collaborative project developed by 11 community partners with a stake in economic development to support local businesses impacted by COVID-19,” reads a Support PG news release.

“The Support PG website provides a central hub of COVID-19 related information for local businesses, examples on how to support local, a weekly blog, and good news stories for individuals and companies that are going above and beyond for their community. In recent weeks, staycation packages have been launched to help promote local and regional tourism.”

To celebrate the occasion, 20 prize packs have been assembled with merchandise, promotional items, and donations from partner organizations and local businesses. They will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis at five local businesses.
