Mark Dial knows why living in Prince George is the perfect choice - he is a Realtor, after all. When he's selling houses for REMAX Centre City Realty, Mark becomes one of our greatest ambassadors: "I have the pleasure of being one of the first people new residents meet. I give them a tour, sell them a house, and hope they enjoy the city as much as my family does."
He moved back to Prince George after spending time in Toronto so he could raise his kids here, and is excited to use the takeonPG.com website to discover new things to do with his family. Mark's wife Emily, son Parker and daughter Ryah join him at the lake in the summer (No. 54), at Otway (No. 46) or Purden Ski Village (No. 215) in the winter, and once in awhile the whole neighbourhood gets together to look up at the Northern Lights (No. 163).
Emily has her own home-based Pilates studio called To The Core, and although not big into sports, Mark does make use of the fitness equipment. On date night, the couple will often enjoy a relaxing dinner at North 54 (No. 111). Another personal favourite is The Keg (No. 341), a restaurant that Mark has frequented since the young age of five.
Besides the lack of traffic and high quality of life, Mark is especially fond of one other thing in Prince George: "The people. They are, hands down, some of the most genuine you will ever meet."
