Ginter’s Green Forever Pushes For Official Park Designation on “Ginter’s” Area in OCP

November 21, 2024 by Ian Gregg

The area known as “Ginter’s,” a popular greenspace in Prince George, is only partially designated as a park, a status gained relatively recently. Ginter’s Green Forever, a group formed in 2017, rallied residents to prevent transit development and highlight the area’s significance. Once the estate of Ben & Grace Ginter, charismatic self-made millionaires, the property’s transfer to municipal ownership became muddled over time.

Today, “Ginter’s” is divided among various owners, with the city acquiring its portion for infrastructure needs. Regardless, residents have long used the space for recreation, and the city has even paved paths there.

Spring is in the air in Sackville.

This week, the Little Plant Nursery and Open Sky Greenhouses opened for the season at their shared School Lane location, formerly Anderson’s Greenhouse. On Saturday, the Sackville Farmers Market will return to its summer location at Bill Johnstone Memorial Park. And on Sunday, the Sackville Community Garden will host its second annual plant swap and sale at its location on Charles Street.

CHMA spoke to garden organizing committee member Sarah Evans, who says that the garden is benefiting from recent changes in the neighbourhood.
