Tools to Help Business:
Move Up Prince George and the PG Business Directory

A Speaker Series Luncheon with
Initiatives Prince George CEO, Heather Oland

Learn about the Move Up Prince George website and how it can be utilized to benefit your business. The website, which provides valuable information about living and working in Prince George, is also host to a FREE job posting portal which is advertised throughout Prince George, in job markets across Canada and at several job fairs each year.

In addition, with just over 2500 companies in Prince George without their own internet page, IPG has created an online Business Directory which is free to use for all Prince George companies. The Directory is searchable on Google and provides an additional web presence for those businesses which already have their own website. Finally, it also helps IPG promote the breadth and quality of Prince George companies to provincial, national, and international investors.

Join us to learn more about how your company can be included on the Directory!
