PRINCE GEORGE – A wave of excitement blanketed the city of PG Saturday. As the Site C turbine awaits its next leg of its trip. Currently, it is parked on the outskirts of the city and will travel to Bear Lake, BC overnight tonight.

The convoy, which houses a twenty-person crew, travels an average of 40 kilometers per hour, carrying a weight of over 770,000 lbs and is 267’ in length. The turbine itself is originally from Brazil and arrived in Prince Rupert earlier this year.

This project, which is run by the Omega Morgan team, has been in the works for roughly two years, and the estimated time of arrival for the Turbine to Site C is about 5 days. Weather dependant.

Cara Craig, who was once a Prince George local, is now the Director of Sale for Omega Morgan Says ” Being part of a project that is hitting the news in my childhood town of Prince George is an exciting moment in my career.”

Craig also says ” Omega Morgan is exceptionally proud to be a part of this historical project”
