Husky Energy got in on the city's centennial celebrations with an early birthday present.
On Thursday afternoon, the company unveiled their contribution to the city of Prince George's 100th anniversary - a new interpretive sign program to enhance the city's parks and trails system.
Healthy communities make for prosperous communities, said 100th anniversary committee chair Coun. Murry Krause. "There are lots of initiatives happening in the community that are looking at ways to help our citizens get more active."
The program will connect 35 kilometres of existing trails and walkways that encircle the Bowl area of the city with 30 interpretive signs written in English and Dakelh, highlighting natural and historical points of interest. Four wooden kiosks will also be set up at Moore's Meadow, Cottonwood Island Park, Fort George Park and at the university trail loop.
"As Husky employees, we live here and work here," said Prince George refinery manager Ed Debevc. "It's a gift for everyone in the city to enjoy."
The signs are expected to be installed this summer.
