The city itself is the 4th largest in British Columbia and has a population of approximately 100,000 local residents. It is built on the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers. Prince George is the home of the University of Northern British Columbia – Canada’s Green university. The warm, friendly and diverse population attests to a strong and dynamic community spirit.
