Without our local paper, there are literally tens of thousands of dollars we wouldn’t have known were being spent.
With the pending removal of the Four Seasons Pool, the city of Prince George has the chance to add to its civic identity.
First, let’s get this out of the way: Kelly Road Secondary School was not named for John Kelly, at least not directly. I guarantee you that all of us have given more thought to this school’s name over the past few months than anyone did at the time it was originally created.
The lives lost on flight PS752 is a national tragedy, but also many local ones.
When people talk about the closure of small-town newspapers it’s often on the subject of things like holding city hall to account and how we need investigative reporting that no one else will do.
