FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE     

Prince George, B.C. – The City of Prince George is gearing up for a busy week at its facilities as the BC Natural Resources Forum is set to take place at the Conference and Civic Centre from January 20 to 23. 

Parking may be hard to find at times in the Civic Core area, however, there are plenty of on and off-street options within a 400-meter radius of the Canfor Leisure Pool. The City reminds residents of the downtown parking regulations: 

  • Free parking in the Civic Plaza lot is available for patrons of the Prince George Conference and Civic Centre, Two Rivers Gallery, and the Canfor Leisure Pool, Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors must scan the QR code inside each facility to register their license plate and qualify for free parking. 
  • Overflow parking for pool users is available at the old Fire Hall #1 site, next to City Hall, during the event.
  • Free on-street parking downtown is available for up to three hours except in designated no parking zones.
  • Off-street parking can be purchased in parkades or surface parking lots for $1.50 per hour. Full-day parking passes are available for $8. 
  • Parking is free on weekends, statutory holidays, and on weekdays after 5 p.m. in all City lots and timed zones.

A parking map is available on the City website to help drivers find accessible stalls, parkades, and surface lots downtown.
