AUGUST 21st, 2019 – PRINCE RUPERT, B.C. – Access to affordable, quality child care is a key part of supporting both families and the local economy in the City of Prince Rupert. To address this, planning is underway to complete a Child Care Assessment and Action Plan, which will provide the community with a clear understanding of existing and future child care needs along with actions to realizing space creation targets.

Residents, please be advised that capital works on McBride Street were completed by City crews last Friday and today the site will be prepped for paving with fill being applied to the area.  Unfortunately, due to weather the full completion of the paving will not be possible until conditions improve. Crews will return to complete paving as soon as possible.   We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience. 

Residents - due to recent misidentified reports of Giant Hogweed in Prince Rupert, we are providing some information about how to identify Giant Hogweed (invasive) versus Cow Parsnip (native species), and also how to handle Cow Parsnip if/when you come into contact with it. Contact with either plant can lead to adverse skin reactions.
