'Even in an atmosphere of losses, closures, and hard impacts, we must ask ourselves what we want to bring into the future, and what we’d like to leave behind.'
As a recent letter to the editor indicates, people will continue to ring alarm bells to try and draw us away from the future our community deserves. They will wring hands about resources, industries, and sites that used to be, and reinforce the false choice of “jobs or environment.” They will make it seem like Prince George has no choice over so much.
We should instead follow the lead of key reminders from this Monday’s city council meeting. We were told that the new Strategic Plan emphasizes diversity and sustainability, aiming to serve Prince George as a "vibrant provincial centre” with an “enviable quality of life.” Coun. Garth Frizzell added that such guiding documents are about “where we want to go.” Where we want to go is likely quite different from an over reliance on resource extraction and heavy industry.
But Prince George today is a very different place from the Prince George of several decades ago. We have gained many strengths and much diversity. We have a different future in mind—one that would support and reinforce work done by the Lheidli T’enneh, the City of Prince George, People’s Action Committee for Health Air, Canfor, the Fraser Basin Council, PG AIR, Northern Health, CNC, UNBC, and many others to improve local air, water, and life.
