Growing up in Prince George, BC, our family owned the National Hotel from 1972 to 1998. As soon as I was able to pick up garbage in the parking lot, my dad had me working for my allowance. Throughout the years, I have done everything from the payroll, to carrying the raw sewage pipes out during the renovations in 1984. When I was in school, I would work weekends. During summer break, I would work full-time at the hotel. When I had enough of school, I chose to work full-time at the hotel. These are some of the true stories, and - believe it or not - they were seen with my own eyes too.

When they first bought it, it consisted of a pub, grocery store, beauty salon, and laundromat. There also was an apartment below the grocery store that the owner-operator was going to live in. The owner operator eventually moved out beside the complex, into a little house that the partners purchased. We leased the grocery store out to an independent operator.
