Prince George will have three ridings with the addition of Prince George-North Cariboo.

For the first time in 23 years, Prince George-Valemount will have a new MLA as Shirley Bond previously announced she will not be seeking re-election.

There will also be a new representative for Prince George-Mackenzie, as outgoing MLA Mike Morris announced his retirement in 2023.

Prince George-Mackenzie candidates:

The Prince George candidates will be invited to take part in all-candidate forums this week at UNBC.

These forums are being put on by the UNBC Energy Transition Group, the Prince George Electric Vehicle Association, and the UNBC Sustainability Team, and will focus on energy.
