Prince George’s newest attraction is set to open at the end of the month.
Tourism Prince George will host the grand opening of the new container market at Canada Games Plaza, called Nanguz’ An or “Fox Den.”
In addition, the newly remodeled Visitor Information Centre will be revealed, showcasing an art installation by Kym Gouchie and Ray Desjarlais.
The market features five redesigned shipping containers with selections reflecting the spirit of Northern BC:
• Nichakoh (Nechako River) – A flexible space for community use and activation which will be covered by a mural later this summer
• Tsalakohcho (McGregor River) – Food Vendor
• Tsalakoh (Mud/Salmon River) – Artisan Vendor
• Latakia (Fraser River) – Retail Space
• Ooduket Baiyoh (Place Where Things Are Exchanged) – Rental Container
“This market is about more than just shopping, it’s about bringing people together and making downtown Prince George a place people want to explore and return to,” said Tourism PG CEO Colin Carson.
“Going forward, Nanguz’ An will operate Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, with unique Saturday themes designed to engage both the community and our visitors, activating this space in in creative and meaningful ways all season long.”
The opening celebration will take place on May 30th, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and welcome from local dignitaries, contributors, and Lheidli T’enneh Elders.
