Mr. PG has joined the campaign to support local business.
The towering mascot at the junction of highways 16 and 97 is now flying a flag emblazoned with the Support PG logo.
Support PG is centred on a website that acts as a central hub of COVID-19 related information for local businesses, examples of how to support local, a weekly blog, and good news stories for individuals and companies that are going above and beyond for their community.
To celebrate the occasion, 20 prize packs have been assembled with merchandise, promotional items, and donations from partner organizations and local businesses.
Notably, each prize pack includes a coveted pair of limited-edition Mr. PG socks. These free prize packs will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis at five local businesses:
