Downtown Prince George

Downtown Prince George sits where the Fraser and Nechako Rivers converge, anchored by Connaught Hill Park's forested lookout and a growing cluster of civic, arts and government buildings. The Two Rivers Gallery and the Prince George Playhouse add to a compact core that mixes older commercial blocks with newer condo development.

Getting around

Highway 16 and Highway 97 both pass through downtown, and BC Transit's main routes converge here, putting the rest of the city within easy reach.

Schools & family

Downtown is served by central Prince George public schools, with the College of New Caledonia's main campus a short drive south.

Shopping & lifestyle

Third and George Streets carry a mix of independent shops, cafes and government offices, with larger retail centres a short drive away.
