It’s a busy week for Prince George City Council who have nine meetings with eight ministries at the UBCM Convention in Victoria.
Brian Skakun is one of many representing the city and says he would like to see some progress on a very important topic.
“One thing that has really been pushed by Prince George is hydrogen corridor development. We know that we need some sort of hydrogen processing as we are working with the province and other local governments to try and get something happening with that regard.”
Skakun says topics like bail reform, conservation officers as well as compensation from the province regarding municipal fire services providing pre-hospital emergency care.
“What we want to do is make sure the province can help out in some fashion because our fire department is at all the medical calls. They are actually attending more medical calls now that we actually attend to fire and other emergencies.”
“We have the premiers ear he knows we are coming with an ask along with the other ministers but this is an opportunity to come up once a year to get council and the administration in the same room with the different ministers as we are also meeting with Adrian Dix and Terry Yung.”
Mayor and Council meet with Premier David Eby on Thursday.
