Letter to the editor: Monster trucks better than Vaisakhi in Prince George?

The front page photo of Monster Spectacular in the May 26/22 publication was a disappointment to say the least.
Vaisakhi Parade in Prince George
Prince George's Sikh community celebrated Vaisakhi Saturday with a parade and event at CN Centre.

Each week I look forward to grabbing my copy of the PG Citizen on Thursday which I read in its entirety.

The front page photo of Monster Spectacular in the May 26/22 publication was a disappointment to say the least.

That same weekend the Prince George Sikh community hosted a parade and events at CN Centre celebrating Vaisakhi - the Spring Harvest. The weather cooperated and the turnout was fantastic inviting all to participate and enjoy. Music, colours, traditional dress, traditional food, dancing and the opportunity for a brief immersion into this beautiful culture all overlooked in favour of a noisy, stinky monster truck for the front page feature.

One small grainy picture of the Vaisakhi celebration was featured inside the paper.

Prince George is a beautiful city with an equally diverse population of beautiful cultures. Seriously folks, you should be embarrassed at this blunder.
