Also blocked: Integris Credit Union, headquartered in Prince George (robots.txt disallows our agents); Brink Forest Products (brink.ca unreachable); Canfor Pulp's own site (canforpulp.com unreachable; the Canfor parent page was used instead). initiativespg.com, the former Initiatives Prince George domain, now serves unrelated content and was not used.
