Prince
George, a modern city in the heart of BC’s Interior, is famous for
wilderness and wildlife. Prince George offers outdoor recreation
and adventure combined with all the amenities a city of 75,000 can
offer. Situated in the middle of an endless spruce forest, the city
boasts over 120 parks within its city limits.
Prince George has the newest free-standing university in Canada
- the University of Northern British Columbia - which opened in
September 1994. The Multiplex Centre at the Exhibition Park allows
for high quality sports and entertainment to now make Prince George
a destination stop. The city pulp mills offer tours, and the demonstration
forests provide a hands-on understanding of the enormous forest
industry in the area.
