RCMP Ready for River Float

“RCMP are anticipating thousands of people could turn up for a “tubing” event Saturday in the Miworth area.
“With the expected large number of participants, Liquor Control Board regulations will be strictly enforced with the issuing of fines and seizure of liquor. Open liquor and the consumption of liquor in a public place are among those offences being targeted. A police boat will be patrolling the river in order to keep the event safe and to assist with any emergencies. There will also be a number of road checks deployed throughout the Prince George area in order to detect and deter impaired driving.”

Nice to know police are prepped for this, but I’m not a fan of high-traffic areas out in nature. Still, a river float is a classic Prince George experience so if you’re looking to do it with a few thousand friends, you may want to check this out: 2nd Annual HUGE River Float on Facebook
