Heavy snow blamed for the collapse of two roofs in 24 hours in Prince George

PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. – Heavy snow is being blamed for two roof collapses in Prince George, B.C., in less than 24 hours.

No one was hurt in either incident.

Part of the roof of a tree nursery caved in Friday morning, but no one was in the building at the time.

The JD Little Tree Nursery is owned by Canfor, which is scrambling to build a temporary shelter to house the seedlings.

The nursery housed 16 million seedlings worth $3 million, but it’s not known how many were lost in the collapse.

On Thursday, the roof over an indoor pool at a home just north of Prince George also caved in after heavy snow, but no was hurt in that incident either. (CKPG,CJCI)
