Priorities include:

Enhanced community participation and pride, and celebration of our unique community. Create educational & project opportunities centered on food security - such as encouraging home gardeners while supporting local producers & community gardens. Advance and promote community partnerships for sustainable projects that protect and enhance our natural & cultural heritage, and a vibrant downtown. Utilize the wisdom & energy of our seniors & youth. Continue to administer the popular Community Enhancement Grant program.

PG Skates 2013

On January 20th EnhancePG hosted the 3rd Annual PG Skates event.  The event was hugely successful with 401 people attending.  Sunny skies, music, clowns, face painting, hot chocolate and demonstrations by the Blizzards Speed Skating Club made for a fun filled day for everyone.  A big thank you to the Outdoor Ice Oval Society of Prince George for their support.

"Big kids", little kids and clowns all had fun at the 2013 PG Skates event.

 Outdoor Movie in Fort George Park

Over 2500 people (mostly families) enjoyed a night under the stars watching Madagascar 3.  Fresh Air Films brought in a 3 story screen and sound system.  Thousands of people gathered in Fort George Park with lawn chairs and sleeping bags in tow.  Thanks to Fortis BC and Investors Group for supporting this film.  EnhancePG provided a concession with proceeds going to two non-profit organizations.  Great time had by all!
