Intergovernmental affairs committee plans to discuss idea with Rocky Mountain Rangers commander
City council wants to know and will be meeting with Lt.-Col. Torry White, commanding officer of the Rocky Mountain Rangers, next week to discuss whether there is any interest in the Canadian Armed Forces establishing a permanent base in the city.“Picture the most strategic location in central BC,” said Frizzell.
Council and senior administrative staff are familiar with the Rocky Mountain Rangers locally and the Canadian Rangers nationally and have had conversations about the future of public buildings such as the Connaught Youth Centre, which houses several cadet organizations. The committee wants to hear White’s thoughts on where Prince George might fit in the Canadian Armed Forces’ plans.
Since February 2011, Prince George has been home to the Rocky Mountain Rangers Bravo Company light infantry army reserves, based at the former Meadow Elementary School in the Heritage subdivision at 687 Dornbierer Cr.
