Known as BC's northern capital, Prince George is a bustling city of over 77,000 situated at the crossroads of Hwy. 97 (north-south) and Hwy. 16 (east-west), and at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers. It’s location is almost at the geographic centre of the province, between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, and is within a 4 hour drive of the B.C./Alberta border. The climate is moderately dry with spring and fall being unpredictable with an early or lingering winter. Average July temperatures can vary between 8 degrees C. and 22 degrees C and average January temperatures can vary between –7 degrees C. and –16.5 degrees C. The area offers a lifestyle that is definitely worth boasting about. Residents enjoy affordable housing, incomes above provincial averages, and an extensive range of quality services, cultural and sports events. Recreation opportunities are second to none and range from golfing, skiing, fishing and hunting to any team sport you can think of. Ten minutes in any direction brings you into contact with the great outdoors. It's no wonder that, with 1,600 lakes and rivers, four ski hills and hundreds of miles of hiking, biking and cross-country trails within a day of town, Prince Georgians are what you might call fanatical about their recreation. Wood drives the local economy, with forestry, plywood manufacture, 12 sawmills and three pulp mills as major employers and customers. Other industry includes two chemical plants, an oil refinery, brewery, dairy, machine shops, aluminum boat building, log home construction, value added forestry product and specialty equipment manufacturing. Prince George is also a staging centre for mining and prospecting, and a major regional transportation, trade and government hub. Several major retailers are expanding into the Prince George market, a trend expected to persist.
