Prince George Animal Shelter Contract Shifts From BCSPCA to PG Humane Society
The BCSPCA moves out of the Animal Shelter building at 4011 Lansdowne Road in Prince George BC as of January 1st, 2025 says Senior Manager Jamey Blair. As she attempts to deliver their services, such as the Pet Food Bank, out of another to-be-determined location, the Prince George Humane Society will move in to take over the municipal contract to operate the shelter. The contract, worth 1.2 million dollars, only covers about ±50% of the operating expenses of the shelter, the rest of the funding comes from fundraising, adoption fees, and more. So why take on such a challenge?
Prince George Humane Society Executive Director Angela McLaren thinks they can do better in some areas like “Keeping Pets & People Together” a program that works with people to eliminate the necessity of surrendering pets to shelters. At this point, both organizations are committed to working together for the benefit of animal welfare in the community.

Sweeney Todd to bring blood and live orchestral music to the stage for one weekend only In Prince George
The newest production of Judy Russell Presents, a collaboration with the Prince George Symphony Orchestra (PGSO), slices ever upwards with the sardonic tale of London UK beautician Sweeney Todd. A gothic, comedic, musical thriller replete with litres of fake blood. This time, between the hair clippings and bloody meat pies, the entire orchestra is pulled onto the stage of Prince George’s Vanier Hall. It’s unlikely that Prince George has ever seen a stage so densely saturated with talent.
Judy Russell chats with us to deliver the baked goods on this first time achievement, and describes pushing the stage’s boundaries up to the razor’s edge. This flash-in-a-pan performance runs one weekend only.
For a story where wrongdoers receive retribution, witness the melodic comedy thriller of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street at Vanier Hall. November 15th to 17th, with a Sunday matinee. Tickets at PGSO.com.
