New Visitor Information Centre opens to public

Jan 7, 2025 | 10:00 AM

PRINCE GEORGE — Tourism Prince George has announced the official opening of the new Visitor Information Centre to the public starting January 7.

The new Visitor Information Centre is placed beside the Prince George Conference and Civic Centre at 850 Canada Games Way in the transformed rotunda.

In a press release from Tourism PG, they say that “this hub spot delivers visitor walkability to downtown events, hotels, the public library, art galleries, and local shops and restaurants.”

In 2023, the “Tourism PG Board of Directors unanimously approved the location at 850 Canada Games Way after recommendations from an independent consultant which looked at financial feasibility, lease stability, public sentiment and supporting those who are likely to extend their stay in the Prince George Community.”

“With many conferences and events at the Prince George Conference and Civic Centre it made sense to have the new Visitor Information Centre right there to welcome our visitors. We built on existing infrastructure and are continuing the work on the outdoor plaza to activate the area,” said Colin Carson, CEO.

The Visitor Information Centre provides maps and guides, local hot spot information, and offers PG merch, indigenous art, and artisan wares. The winter season hours are Monday to Friday, 9am-4:30pm with times adjusted for special events. Celebration of the new Visitor Information Centre and the Grand Opening for the completed project will be in the Spring of 2025.
