Prince George pairs big-city amenities with easy access to wilderness at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers, making daily life feel both convenient and adventurous. You’ll find concerts and WHL hockey, riverside trails, and a growing food scene, all supported by a regional economy anchored in education, healthcare, forestry, mining services, and logistics.
In Downtown, galleries, cafes, and the theater scene energize weeknights, while The Exploration Place offers interactive science and cultural exhibits for all ages. Families gravitate to College Heights for its schools, parks, and shopping, and heritage homes in South Fort George put you close to the riverfront and museum district. Outdoor time is a way of life here—walk the trestle bridges in Cottonwood Island Nature Park, ski at Otway, or take a day trip south to Quesnel. For a bucket-list hike, the accessible boardwalks of Ancient Forest/Chun T’oh Whudujut Provincial Park reveal a rare inland temperate rainforest.
Education is a standout: the University of Northern British Columbia combines small-class feel with acclaimed research at the University of Northern British Columbia, and the College of New Caledonia offers practical pathways into high-demand careers. Families appreciate strong K–12 options through School District 57. Culture lovers make regular stops at The Exploration Place and Two Rivers Gallery, while festivals and markets keep the calendar full.
