This past winter, I had the pleasure of working with the Economic Development team at the City of Prince George when our organizations co-hosted the B2B Expo - a large business networking event that brought together a diverse mix of local businesses and entrepreneurs. It was a great opportunity to build connections and support new collaborations, many of which I'm proud to cheer on.
One particularly special opportunity that came out of this partnership was my being invited to write a blog for the City’s Move Up Prince George initiative. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know I have a soft spot for our city’s beloved mascot, Mr. PG. (Remember when the girls visited and we took the must-have family selfie with the Mr. PG statue? Definitely a highlight!) So when I was mid-story, sharing one of my many Mr. PG tales with the City staff, they asked if I’d write a guest blog about him—and I said an enthusiastic heck yes! Blogging and Mr. PG? Say no more.
Please allow me to link you over to their blog, where you can read about my relationship with my other favourite man in Prince George:

With this blog you'll see several photos of Mike and the girls and I hanging out with Mr. PG, AND my favourite moment of this past winter and my time at the B2B Expo - meeting the Mr. PG mascot!!! 😁
Huge thanks to Move Up Prince George for inviting me to contribute to your blog and help share the culture and character of this awesome city. Writing this piece was not only fun - it was a meaningful way to reflect on why Prince George is such a special place to live and work. I’m proud to call this community home, and I hope my story adds a little extra love to the Move Up initiative and the spirit behind it.
PS - Mike says this definitely gets me points toward my BC Citizenship! 😜
And an honourable mention for the blog dog:
