Yeah, my inlaws just moved from Prince Rupert and the whole time I lived in PG I never went out West. It wasn't until after I left and the wife wanted to go and visit a couple times that I did. But it's something you should definitely do, especially in the summer as the scenery in the Skeena Valley is terrific. I fully reccommend going out to Rupert and going out fishing as even a hack amateur like me snagged a couple nice Chinook, and Hali. Once you do get outside of the city of Prince George itself it isn't a bad area at all.

I was there when I was young and single and was making decent money at the time. I did meet some really good people and enjoyed playing hockey and ball. Also with the lower living cost and making decent money I was able to do things like go to Europe, or Australia, or Brazil every year. If it's a good job and they won't stick you there for life there are worse places to go. But for example, I lived in Sylvan Lake which is really close to Red Deer which is a similar size city to PG, and I found that Red Deer offered a lot more to do, and a lot of that was due to it's proximity to Calgary or Edmonton. Thats why I look back now and figure that the isolation up there was likely the reason I didn't want to stick around.
