Big turnout for capsule opening

The library was packed tight as the young and old took a glimpse into the city’s past.

The items will be on display at the library for the rest of the week, before they are buried for another 50 years.

The city is also putting together a second time capsule to be opened in 2115.

A set of Canada Winter Games Medals will be included, but the city wants some public input.

Residents are asked to share their stories about Prince George’s past, present, and future in hopes of their essay being included in the time capsule.
