Tourism PG helping support prominent community member in time of need

Through the month of April, Tourism Prince George will be supporting a local legend.

Jim Good, founder and caretaker for Goodsir Nature Park has been going through personal hardships recently, including a medical emergency, and low donations last winter.

Tourism PG CEO, Colin Carson says you don’t have to look far to see the impact Good has had in the community.

“People come from elsewhere to go to Goodsir Nature Park and Jim doesn’t charge. It’s by donation to go to the park, it’s open year round, he does school trips and classes go out there to learn.”

“He is constantly giving back to the community, and really taking care of this all by himself, all on his own time.”

Tourism PG announced that 100% of profits from the sale of all socks, would go to Good and the nature park, which Carson says was a creative way to use their “hot selling items”.

Other ways to give support include donate to the GoFundMe, and visiting Goodsir Nature Park, where there’s a donation box.

Socks can be purchased either at the Visitor Information Centre or online here.
