Prince George Public Interest Research Group
Your public interest research group at the University of Northern British Columbia. Dedicated to social + environmental action since 1995. PGPIRG works on the Traditional Territory of the Lheidli T’enneh.
The Good Store: making a low-waste lifestyle accessible to all
In February 2019, PGPIRG opened the first and only low-waste grocery store located on the UNBC Prince George campus! The Good Store is located in the PGPIRG office on Lheidli T'enneh Territory.
We are a low-waste, package-free shop, meaning all items must be taken home in reusable containers (PGPIRG provides free glass jars)!
​
Our Goals are to:
1. Reduce packaging waste
2. Increase access to healthy food options at UNBC
3. Sustain student-friendly prices
​
The Good Store is open to anyone and everyone, regardless of affiliation with the university! Come see our growing stock of pantry items, snacks, baking ingredients, and personal care items (soap, shampoo, etc.)
