It could mean a new university facility, hospital upgrades and private-sector investment
Prince George city council unanimously approved a grant application at its Monday, Dec. 2 meeting that could eventually lead to the community becoming a hub for life sciences.
According to a report from city administration, the University of Northern British Columbia, Lheidli T’enneh Nation and Northern Health were working together to create a "sustainable innovation ecosystem” for health in Prince George. In order to start securing investments and funding that will make this possible, an economic analysis is needed first. If secured, the REDIP funding would pay for that analysis.
City staff say the university is ineligible to apply to the program, which is why they proposed Prince George get involved as a partner.
