The City of Prince George encourages residents to explore the community by bus this summer and take part in the Transit Challenge for a chance to win fun prizes for the whole family.
The program encourages people who don’t normally take public transit to try visiting a city facility, community event, or park by bus and reflecting on the journey by completing one, or all, of the challenges:
- Find your comfy spot: Tell us where you like to sit and why.
- Window view reflection: What do you see out the window that catches your eye?
- Spot some art: Tell us about a mural or colorful design you spotted on the bus, at a stop, or along the way.
Participants can complete the challenge either by writing or by creating art! To participate, pick up a challenge form from the Prince George Council of Seniors, YMCA, Canfor Leisure Pool, Aquatic Centre, City Hall, or by downloading it from the City website. Completed forms can be dropped off at any of the above locations or sent by email to getinvolved@princegeorge.ca by August 1 to be entered into the draw for fun prizes including:
- Pool and YMCA passes
- Transit tickets and UMO cards
- Visa gift cards
- Mr. PG shopping bags
- Sonos Roam 2 smart speaker
This program is made possible in part by a BC Healthy Communities Age-friendly Community grant. The BC Age-friendly Communities Program is delivered by BC Healthy Communities Society and is funded by the B.C. Ministry of Health.
