As far as I know I'm getting my knickers in a twist. Got it muddled up with Port hardy! Sorry!

Maybe it's the guy that was living in Victoria that called himself Prince George then moved to Port Hardy?

I'm probably your nearest BE neighbour, OP, at a mere 275km away.

I'm in PG fairly regularly but generally just for the day...and when 6hrs of that day is spent driving to/from it doesn't leave much time for meeting up, unfortunately!

But it's hard to make friends and I'm hoping there's some people from back there, maybe there's some Brits in the area?
I have pm'd you

Hi TJ. I wanted to reply to your post ages ago but couldn't log in. I had lost my password, just found it scribbled on a scrap of paper lol..
Our son and his partner are in Prince George, they have lived there for years. If you PM me, I will give you their phone number.

Hi TJ,
I am on the brink of taking a leap over the ocean towards Prince George BC with a job offer and LMO in progress. If you could let me know anything important about the place I would be very appreciative, as I have little knowledge of the place as such ,only what the internet tells me, which seems to be don't go to Prince George
But it looks amazing and i am looking forward to the adventure.

Hey TJ!
I'm from the UK (Well Scotland actually :-))
I've been here for almost 8 years now and I love it!
I have a few very good Canadian friends and I can empathise with you that it is difficult, if you don't have contacts.
I'd suggest looking at facebook groups in PG (depending where in this vast landscape of a city you live), or join some groups, like a Snowmobile or quad club.
There is a whisky tasing group somewhere up here as well! ;-)
Where about in PG are you?
Kenny

What brought you to PG? Like I said earlier (last year ) upthread, PG is my nearest city, but still around 3hrs away. Have lots of friends in PG though.

Hello - I'm new to this forum and in the Central Cariboo region near Williams Lake. Been here for 8 years and love it.
OK - it's about 3 hours south of Prince George but if you're really so lonely let me know when you next travel south.
