FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prince George, B.C. - It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of one of the cyclists involved in the hit-and-run incident that happened on July 3 in our community.
On behalf of Prince George City Council and all residents of our city, I extend our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and loved ones of the individual who lost his life in this tragic event. Our hearts and prayers are with his family.
This tragedy has deeply impacted our community, especially given the selfless and courageous purpose behind his participation, as he was training for the Cops for Cancer Tour de North fundraising ride at the time of the collision. His commitment to helping others reflects the best of our community spirit. We also hold in our thoughts the second cyclist who was injured in this incident. As they continue on the path to recovery, we send strength and support to them and their loved ones during this difficult time.
Prince George is a city that cares deeply for one another. In moments of sorrow, we must lean on each other and uphold the values of safety, compassion, and inclusivity that define us as a community.
