Prince George is one of two BC stops with the other being Kelowna.
The event will feature presentations on the Canadian-European Union Economic and Trade Agreement and market opportunities within the European Union.
Barcellos explains why the province’s northern capital was named for this event.
“One of the reasons they picked Prince George was because of our key transportation corridors Highway 16 and 97, access to the rail and the Port of Prince Rupert and the fact that a lot of our local firms are exporting.”
