The woodstove exchange program will continue for another year after the provincial government confirmed this week that $19,350 for the task will go to the Prince George Air Improvement Roundtable (PGAIR).
PGAIR president Terry Roberts said the goal for 2012 will be to provide $500 rebates to at least 50 homeowners to upgrade their stoves and lower the amount of particulate and other pollutants going into the city's air.
"We'll also be trying to enhance the program so it's accessible to people at a number of different economic levels," Roberts said. "And so we're going to be exploring some opportunities to do about five woodstove exchanges initially for some folks in the lower income brackets."
