Located right in the heart of British Columbia and
surrounded by mountains, lakes and endless forest, Prince George is a hub of
activity offering visitors an exciting assortment of historical, natural and
cultural attractions. Known as B.C.'s northern capital, Prince George is a
bustling city of over 80,000 situated at the crossroads of Highway 97 and
Highway 16. |
| While wood and forestry drive the local economy,
our city has diversified its industry base with chemical plants, an oil
refinery, brewery,
machine shops, log
home building and specialty equipment manufacturing.
Tourism is a growing
industry due to our close proximity to wilderness areas with fishing, hunting
and hiking opportunities. |

| With world class facilities like the Prince George
Civic Centre and the Multiplex, we can host major conferences, conventions,
trade shows and sporting events. The Multiplex is home to WHL's
Prince George
Cougars and boasts a seating capacity of 6000 and outstanding acoustical
design. |
