January 31, 1972. That was the day this headline hit the newspaper.
But the real beginning came just days earlier — January 29 and 30, 1972 — when the very first organized snow golf tournament was played, right here in Prince George.

The story begins with William Manson.
Manson arrived in South Fort George in 1908, back when cafés were as essential as sawmills and supply stores. He opened the Mecca Cafe and operated it for many years, feeding a young, growing community. As the town evolved and Prince George began to take shape

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

On a snowy winter night in early 1914, folks from three rival towns — Fort George, South Fort George, and Central Fort George — crossed muddy streets and unlit trails to come together for the first time under one roof. A dance held in William Huff’s hall, at Princess Square.

In the 1870s, Harry Moffat left Pembroke, Ontario and came west the long way. By boat, by horse, by whatever came next. He stepped onto the coast, then kept moving inland until he reached Quesnel in the fall of 1876.

I’ve done social media for businesses all across BC — from small towns with one main street and a good bakery, to busy communities where everyone still knows the old name of the building.
And everywhere I go, I do the same thing.
I weave in local history.

South Fort George.
“Mr. and Mrs. Alex Moffat are rejoicing over the birth of a son.”
Just a few lines in the Prince George Herald. No fanfare. No future titles. Just a newborn described as “the stranger” who arrived that morning.
That baby grew up to be Harold Moffat

You know someone’s lived in Prince George a long, long time when…
1. You still call it the Bay Parkade
2. You remember winters when half the town was out playing with purple balls.
3. You know where Champ called home
4. You remember when there were two grocery stores in Spruceland

Tucked along Third Avenue, Bi-Rite Market was one of those places that quietly became part of the routine in mid-century Prince George. The kind of store you didn’t plan a trip to — you just went. Milk, bread, fresh produce, cooked and cured meats. Whatever supper needed, Bi-Rite had it.

Back in 1978, this newspaper ad announced a second Boston Pizza location opening close to Spruceland Theatre.
It’s still where you go after the show.
Still the place where birthdays happen, teams squeeze into booths, and someone always says, “let’s just go to BP.”

The headline showed up on January 5, 1950 — Prince George 57 below
At one point, they had to stop fighting the fire just to fight the cold. The paper says two men spent nearly two hours thawing a single nozzle so it could be used again. Two hours. Just to get water flowing.
