Throwback Thursday for Aug. 29, 2024

Explore local history through digitized old newspapers at pgnewspapers.pgpl.ca.

Did you know it was once illegal to sell magazines on the streets of Prince George? This week's Throwback Thursday offers a photo of two young women being stopped by bylaw enforcement for doing just that in 1965.

In our weekly look back at what was in the paper during this week in years past, we're also sharing a 1981 picture of the casual aftermath of a furniture truck crash and a look at a good find at the Swap Shed from 1997.

As the Cougars start training camp for the 2024-25 season, we offer a photo of some of the team's prospects in 2007 - updated with what happened to them after camp.

You can explore local history through the pages of The Citizen, which are digitized and online at pgnewspapers.pgpl.ca.
