PRINCE GEORGE — Prince George City Councillor Cori Ramsay is seeking a third term on city council, launching a re-election campaign focused on responsible growth, infrastructure investment, and financial resilience.

Ramsay, first elected in 2018 and re-elected in 2022, announced her candidacy today, saying the next four years will be critical in shaping the future of Prince George as the city continues to grow and faces a range of economic and social challenges.

“Serving the residents of Prince George has been one of the greatest privileges of my life,” Ramsay said in a statement. “Meaningful progress doesn’t happen through slogans or quick fixes. It takes hard work, collaboration, careful planning, and a willingness to make difficult decisions in the public interest.”

During her eight years on council, Ramsay has served on numerous committees and boards dealing with issues including finance, accessibility, emergency management, poverty reduction, environmental stewardship, arts and culture, reconciliation, and health care. Beyond the local level, she has represented northern communities through the North Central Local Government Association, served on the executive of the Union of BC Municipalities, and currently serves as UBCM president.

Ramsay said one of her key priorities is ensuring growth is supported by the infrastructure needed to sustain it. While supporting increased housing options, including multi-family and small-scale multi-unit developments, she emphasized the importance of maintaining adequate transportation networks, water and sewer capacity, and long-term financial planning.

“Growth should strengthen our community, not create costs future taxpayers cannot afford,” she said.

Ramsay also highlighted the importance of working with provincial and federal governments on issues such as homelessness, addictions, health care, emergency preparedness, forestry, and economic development.

Her platform will focus on responsible budgets and infrastructure reinvestment, safer communities, housing policy, downtown revitalization, economic resilience, emergency preparedness, reconciliation, and transparent governance.

Ramsay said she remains committed to evidence-based decision making and hopes to continue serving residents.

“I am proud of what we have accomplished together, but there is still important work ahead,” she said. “I would be honoured to earn the trust and support of residents for another term.”

Municipal voters will head to the polls in October 2026 to elect Prince George’s next mayor and council.
