Numerous buildings and landmarks across B.C., including Prince George, are set to light up blue on Monday (Feb.22) to support a Girl Guides Canada campaign.
Ninety landmarks across the province will be 'guiding blue' after dark on Monday, and thousands of Girl Guides members are expected to decorate their homes and neighbourhoods in blue regalia.
In Prince George, Mr. PG will be lit blue, as well as the offices of Prince George-Valemount MLA Shirley Bond and Cariboo-Prince George MP Todd Doherty.
The event also marks World Thinking Day – a “day of international friendship,” according to a Girl Guides news release – which is annually celebrated by the Girl Guides.
“It is an opportunity to speak out on issues that affect girls and young women, celebrate the founding of Girl Guides, and be connected to the 10 million members around the world who are part of the Guiding movement,” the release states.
Other notable provincial landmarks participating are BC Place, Science World and the B.C. legislature.
A map of landmarks that will glow blue Monday is available on the Girl Guides website.
