There’s some new signage around “the bowl” that is aiming to enhance your outdoor experience.
The “100th Anniversary Trail Interpretive Program” is connecting 35 km of trails, provided by Husky Energy.
Councillor Murry Krause says the goal is to get people more active on city trails.
“We’re hoping that if people know where they are, where to go, and how to utilize them better, that they will participate,” he says. “I really believe healthy communities make prosperous communities, it’s really just about getting people out and active.”
Standing in front of the sign at Fort George Park overlooking the scenic Fraser River, Krause reflects on one of his favourite spots in the city.
“I was born and raised here and I can remember Canada Day celebrations here in the park, and all other kids of activities,” he says. “Entertainment events, all kind of things, this is a cornerstone of our city.”
Refinery Manager Ed Debevc says Husky provided the signs to acknowledge the importance of PG’s history.
“As well as the celebration of 100 years,” he says. “It’s in part with our own history, we have a heritage here and we think it’s a good gift to give to the people of Prince George.”
Other signs can be found at Cottonwood Island Park, Moore’s Meadow, and the University Trail loop.
