City crews are working to clean up following major windstorms which knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people across the province.
According to the City of Prince George, most of the major cleanup is expected to be complete by Wednesday, with crews responding 262 service calls over the past few days.
Arborist and skid-steer crews are clearing branches, stems and stumps at various locations.
If a tree falls from private property, crews will remove any branches which have fallen into City road dedication and pose a safety risk to pedestrians or motorists. The City is not responsible for removing the rest of the tree from private property.
Additionally, the City says the shrink wrap lining covering the outside of the Aquatic Centre was damaged in the storm, with some sections needing to be removed on the east and south sides of the building to ensure ongoing safety of the scaffolding.
The City noted building envelope work was completed prior to the storm, and the building is watertight in these areas so there was no further impact, and the renovation remains on track.
Residents are encouraged to keep an eye on BC Hydro’s outage map for the latest information on outages.
