Prince George, Williams Lake ranked among 50 most economically resilient cities in BC

Despite all the economic chaos that is taking place in the world right now, a pair of cities across the north and the Cariboo have been recognised by BC Business for its resilience.

During its 11th annual survey, Prince George was ranked the 28th most economically resilient city for 2025, while Williams Lake ranked 44th.

50 communities made the cut for the list.

PG climbed up seven spots from the 2023 bulletin (35th) – Williams Lake held steady from its position.

The survey consisted of cities with a population of 10,000 or more people with nine economic indicators considered including five-year population growth, resident sense of belonging, rental vacancy and economic diversity.
