Prince George Chamber of Commerce requests meeting with Eby to discuss downtown crime

PRINCE GEORGE — The Prince George Chamber of Commerce has invited British Columbia Premier David Eby to meet with local businesses to discuss ways to improve public safety in the community.

The Chamber issued the invitation in a letter to the premier on Wednesday to coincide with his keynote speech at a BC Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Vancouver.

The Chamber proposed a one hour, private roundtable during his visit to Prince George during the BC Natural Resources Forum in January.

The letter included a report on the Voices for Change Safe Streets Rally held at CN Centre in October and the results of a recent survey of businesses conducted by Downtown Prince George. In the survey, 55 respondents reported more than $4.5 million in damage caused by criminal activity so far this year, the most significant incident being the fire that destroyed CrossRoads Brewing in September.

“We want the residents who attended the rally and took part in the live polling to know that your voices have been heard in Victoria,” said Prince George Chamber of Commerce Executive Directorm Neil Godbout. “The Chamber will be continuing to work in 2026 with Downtown Prince George and other local and provincial partners to make Prince George a safer community for everyone.”
