Additionally, wage rates fall above provincial averages, providing residents of Prince George with a high standard of living in one of BC’s most beautiful regions. The city itself is the 4th largest in British Columbia and has a population of approximately 77,000. It is built on the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Lheidli T’enneh. 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. If you are currently practicing or within one year of graduating, and are interested in opportunities in Northern BC, we would invite you and your spouse\partner to come and explore practice opportunities and the city of Prince George.
