Mounties
partnering with local businesses for Cram-A-Cruiser event!
Prince George RCMP is giving Santa a hand again this year, gathering donations of non -perishable food, toiletries and unwrapped gifts for the Salvation Army.
On Saturday, November 29, 2024, from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., Mounties and community volunteers will be outside several Save-On-Foods locations throughout Prince George, to see how many times we can “cram” a police cruiser full of donations in time for the holiday season. Shoppers are encouraged to grab an extra item or two on their way through the shopping centre to donate on their way back out.
“We will fill our police cruisers with donations as many times as we can during the day. The Salvation Army has been generous in assisting our Victim Services program over the years and this is our way
of returning that generosity,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
We will be collecting donations of non-perishable food items, cash and gift cards. Here are some examples of items we are looking for:
Peanut butter
Rolled or instant oats
Pasta and sauce
Rice
Canned fish or meat
Canned soup
Canned beans in sauce
Canned vegetables
Macaroni and cheese
Coffee or tea
Size 5 or 6 diapers and Pull Ups
Feminine hygiene products
If you are interested in volunteering to help out with this event, please contact the Prince George RCMP Community Policing office at 250-561-3366 for more information.

1. How fast do snowflakes fall on average?
2. Although counterintuitive, what month is Earth closest to the Sun?
3. For meteorologists, what are the three calendar winter months in the Southern Hemisphere?
4. What is the fear of snow called?

While it seems counterintuitive, Earth is actually closest to the sun in December, even though winter solstice is the shortest day of the year.

TAURUS (Apr. 21-May 20)
You could find yourself reassessing situations with others based on what has occurred since 2019. You would have changed in this period and from now to late April, you have the opportunity to decide what needs to be left behind. Being open with your thoughts will allow matters to be sorted quite easily to suit your needs.
LEO (July 23-August 22)
Keep your focus on getting enough time to yourself so that you can maintain some underlying balance –this can particularly be the case when it comes to family expectations. Social opportunities can arise that can have a transforming effect in your life. This may make you realise you shouldn’t get too bogged down with obligations.
SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)
Many things from the past could begin to make greater sense resulting in a more optimistic view of what it possible in the future. This can be linked to realising that you don’t need to be affected by those who will do as they please. What is more important is how you create things in your own life and your determination to put them in place. .
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)
Any necessity to be more disciplined with your finances can become a lot easier. You can feel more powerful on a personal level as a result of getting this under control. What once seemed important in life may not hold the same appeal, resulting in a greater sense of appreciation when it comes to the small things.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20)
It may suddenly seem you have not got the amount of money at your disposal as you would like. By paying attention to what you spend on a daily basis you could very quickly cut some things out that are not really needed, which can result in building your finances up. Winding up some long term obligations by mid February could also help.
VIRGO
(August 23-Sept.22)
Any situation involving responsibility with others that has been in play since 2023 could now move forward in a manner that suits you. This is unlikely to happen of its own accord but you are now in a good position to express what you think is fair in relation to situations important to you in life and have this respected by others.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.22-Dec.21)
There is a lot going on behind the scenes that could alter the way life has been structured since 2023 because of the actions or desires of somebody else or other people in general. You could now realise how much stronger mentally you have become through these experiences. Move ahead with the foundations you want to put in place.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20)
Somethingcouldbecomea lotclearerto you personally giving you more confidence when it comes to how you can handle things and move forward. You need to be able to create circumstances that enable you to gain pleasure from life. This will require a strong degree of personal commitment fromnowuptomid February.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Many things can go your way right now – luck can be with you. This may lead to viewing future ambitions in a different way. This can be linked to realising that priorities that have been important can be modified to suit changing conditions that have likely occurred this year. Having time to enjoy things in life is important.
LIBRA (Sept. 23
-Oct.22)
Through being on top of the detail you can do quite well financially. This could be on either a work or personal level. You could feel as though any hard work of the past will at last prove worthwhile. Don’t fall back, from now to mid February, into allowing others to have all the freedom while you deal with the hard work and details.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan.19)
It will now become easier in your own mind to decide what needs to be more important in life. This can be due to what you have dealt with since 2023 and any aspects of that you can now move forward with and perhaps would be better wound up by mid February. There can be a lot of support coming from others as well.
ARIES
(March 21-April 20)
Others can be so focussed on themselves that you could feel left out in some way. This may not change certain expectations they have of you though. You need to focus on things important to you and where you want to head in the future. This might include bringing some matters to an end from now to mid February.
