Prince George city council received the annual report from the Prince George Heritage Commission.
The Heritage Commission advises on matters regarding the protection, conservation, and interpretation of heritage resources and buildings within the community. This year is the 30th anniversary of the Commission.
The Heritage Commission bought forward a number of recommendations including increasing the number of meetings each year, increasing the commission membership, and increasing staff support. There were also recommendations to endorse reconciliation with the Lheidli T’enneh through future commission projects and to provide additional financial support for updating and replacing heritage signs.
Council voted to refer the recommendations to administration to bring a report back to council. This report will include information and funding for the commission if designated as a community commission external to a council committee. The financial support for the heritage signs was referred to the committee of the Whole meeting scheduled for June 25 where the topic is unfunded capital projects.
