PRINCE GEORGE — Mr.PG might be on the move.

A staff report to Prince George City Council entitled “Future of Mr.PG,” will be presented to Council Monday night (Oct.7).

The report notes that due to commercial development, “the current location on the corner of Highways 16 and 97 has made it difficult for residents and visitors to gain safe access to him.”

The report goes on to note that “it is also becoming increasingly challenging for staff to promote him, provide adequate maintenance, and set up flags and lights as requested.”

With those concerns in mind, city staff began to look at the possibility of moving him with the overall consensus to align Mr.PG with the Visitor Information Centre.

“With the PG Conference and Civic Centre, PG Public Library, and Two Rivers Art Gallery, along with the new Tourism Container Market coming soon in Canada Games Plaza, we are creating an aesthetic space that will help create a vibrant civic core. Mr. PG will be located in a space that is safe and easy to access, providing an attractive backdrop for photo opportunities which will give him – and the City – maximum exposure,” says the report.

City Council will discuss the matter Monday night.
