The Prince George Public Library is launching a new initiative to revitalize the outdoor deck at the Bob Harkins Branch.
The “All Hands on Deck” initiative not only addresses necessary upgrades needed for the library’s outdoor deck, but also capitalizes on the opportunity to engage the community in transforming the space in to a more meaningful and versatile space.
“The ‘All Hands on Deck’ initiative underscores our commitment to community-driven development,” said Library Director Paul Burry.
“This project is not merely about enhancing the deck’s appearance; it is about addressing current safety and structural concerns and creating a functional hub that meets the needs and desires of our community.”
The multi-year project is being supported by the City of Prince George, as well as fundraising efforts by the Library Board.
“This project reflects the City’s commitment to enhancing public spaces and strengthening community connections in our civic core,” said Mayor Simon Yu.
“We are not only ensuring the safety and integrity of the space, but we are also embracing the opportunity to reimagine it as a vibrant, inclusive area that brings people together.”
The initiative provides two ways for the community to engage and share insights.
The Library will be hosting a public open house event on Saturday from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
Additionally an online survey will be accessible from now until June 13.
