Prince George city council has moved its second April meeting five days earlier to avoid a conflict with the upcoming federal election.
Council was originally scheduled to meet on Monday, April 28 but since its 2025 meeting schedule was established, Prime Minister Mark Carney called for a federal election that same day.
The meeting has now been moved to Wednesday, April 23 at 6 p.m.
City manager Walter Babicz said a meeting is needed for one of the last two weeks of April to pass the bylaw establishing the 2025 financial plan.
He also said that with the previous meeting on April 7 and the next on May 5, cancelling the meeting would mean almost a month between meetings and would likely lead to a very heavy schedule on the latter date.
Only Coun. Kyle Sampson opposed the date change.
