Oct 9, 2018 | 5:00 PM

PRINCE GEORGE – It seems everyone is getting a new hospital these days, except Prince George. The announcement out of Fort St. James Tuesday has some shaking their heads, while others are at a loss as to the fate of University Hospital of Northern BC.

MLA of Prince George-Valemount Shirley Bond says she is happy Fort St. James is getting a new hospital but asks when we will be celebrating locally.

She has been pursuing improvements to University Hospital of Northern BC for years and she, personally, committed to that project in April of 2017.

Bond says the concept plan has been with the government since last Fall, but there has been no word.
