Renowned architect and historian Trelle Morrow will receive Prince George’s Freedom of the City, the highest honour a municipality can bestow on an individual, at the city council meeting on Monday.
Morrow’s architectural career spanned 40 years and he designed such notable buildings as Sacred Heart Cathedral, Quinson Elementary School, and the former Prince George Citizen building on Brunswick Street, which are now the head offices for the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation.
He is a four-time winner of the Jeanne Clarke Local History Award from the Prince George Public Library in recognition of his books on his local history and his longtime service with the Prince George Heritage Commission. Morrow has also received the Alice Box Memorial Award in recognition of his lifetime contributions in support of arts and culture in Northern B.C.
Members of the pubic are welcome to attend the Freedom of the City presentation at council chambers at city hall on November 20 at 6 p.m.
