Heritage Week Author Talks: Lou Allison

It's Heritage Week! The Prince George Public Library is excited to celebrate Heritage Week with Lou Allison, editor of “Gumboot Guys – Nautical Adventures on British Columbia’s North Coast,” a finalist of the 2025 Jeanne Clarke Local History Award.

Join us to hear a few of the stories from the many voices that have created this piece of British Columbia heritage, as well as the how the book came to be!
