PRINCE GEORGE – Prince George is home to time capsules that are placed around the city. Recently, city crews moved one of them because of plans to rehabilitate Millennium Park. City crews cleared out the park of the encampment last fall.

During the clean-up, crews took the time capsule, buried it at the park in August of 2001, and took it to The Exploration Place for safekeeping.

“There’s a lot of digital material in here. The community mostly brought us images of kids rooms and hockey teams, those sorts of things. But we are a science center and included a water sample.”

The time capsule is 3 feet tall and made of stainless steel to keep it watertight to last 100 years buried in the ground.

“As it stands, it’ll go into our vault, it’ll be safe, and it’s going to do exactly the same thing. It would have done had we left it in the ground.”

The Exploration Place won’t open the capsule, but they’ll keep it safe and stash it in their collection vault.
