with a population of 70,981 (census agglomeration of 83,225), is the
largest city in northern British Columbia and is known as "BC's Northern
Capital". Situated at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako Rivers,
and the crossroads of Highway 16 and Highway 97, the city plays an
important role in the province's economy and culture. The economy of
Prince George in the 21st century has come to be dominated by service
industries. The Northern Health Authority, centred in Prince George, has
a $450Mn annual budget and is investing more than $100Mn in
infrastructure over the coming years, as Prince George builds the
radiation therapy and associated buildings for modern cancer care.
