The Rocky Mountain Rangers will help welcome people driving into Prince George.
The regiment will have signs at the entrances into the city, saying the city is the Home of the Rocky Mountain Rangers.
Representatives of the regiment presented to Prince George City Council Wednesday, to ask the city to install the signs.
“One of your young Sergeants in Kamloops has worked with City Administration to achieve the various permitting from the Ministry of Highways,” said Rocky Mountain Rangers Association President Dan McLaren.
“We have bought the signs, the signs cost us approximately $2,300, and we’ve raised that through private moneys ourselves, but what we’re asking the City for is assistance in physically installing the signs.”
City Manager Walter Babicz noted installing the signs would cost around $11,000, which could be paid for through the Council Contingency Fund.
Director of Finance Kris Dalio noted there’s roughly $42,000 left of the $75,000 in the contingency this year.
Council voted unanimously to authorize administration to use up to $15,000 from the fund to install the four signs.
