Prince George City Coun. Trudy Klassen wants to create an Arts Hall of Fame Award.

She has put forward a notice of motion, which will be discussed at the Sept. 25 regular council meeting. The motion would direct administration to invite the Community Arts Council to work together to establish an Arts Hall of Fame Award.

The recommendation is that the award installing inductees to an Arts Hall of Fame would be accompanied by an event recognizing the inductees. The city would also establish a recognition board in a visible location in City Hall and if appropriate, in a civic building dedicated to the arts.

Klassen wants city administration to return a report to city council on or before Nov. 20.

She cited examples of other Canadian cities who have similar projects.
