Mr. PG, Public sculpture in Prince George, Canada.

The wooden and metal figure stands 8.1 meters tall at the intersection of Highway 97 and Highway 16, wearing a yellow construction hat.

Created in 1960 as a tribute to the lumber industry, the original wooden sculpture was replaced in 1983 with a metal version due to decay.

The sculpture represents Prince George's industrial heritage and received recognition through a Canada Post commemorative stamp in 2009.

Located at 2800 Upland Street, the sculpture remains accessible without entry fees and serves as a meeting point for visitors in Prince George.

The head of the sculpture was constructed from a repurposed spherical plastic septic tank with a diameter of 1.5 meters.
