Prince George welcomes new welcoming signs

Drivers coming into Prince George may have noticed something new on the side of the road.

The City has installed new welcoming signs in three locations around the city: Highway 16 East and West, as well as Highway 97 South.

The City’s Transportation Manager, Dave Bradshaw, said the new signs match one that was already installed on Highway 97 North.

“The project was a joint effort between the communications group as well as the transportation division,” Bradshaw said.

“The new signs were to replace a non-existent sign on Highway 97 South, and we replaced two wood signs on Highway 16 East and Highway 16 West.”

Bradshaw said installing the new signs this week was important to ensure they were up and ready for the arrival of athletes for the BC Summer Games.

The sign does feature the phrase ‘Ts’uhoont’i Whuzadel’, (tuh-HOON-ti wuz-AH-del) in the Dakelh language, meaning ‘welcome’.

Lheidli T’enneh Chief Dolleen Logan said it was important to them to have their language included on the sign.

“We have a really good working relationship with the city and the regional district,” Logan said.

“It’s important for us, because when people come, and it’s a tough one to say, but people see it.”

Logan added the city came to the Lheidli T’enneh to ask about naming.
