Due North Info Bulletin - 8 June 2026

Weekly News Bulletin

Due North

An audio bulletin for the weeK of June 8th 2026

Looking at the next seven days in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh, the weather forecast contains a bit of welcome precipitation, and a mix of sun & clouds. In the newsroom, here is what we’ve picked up on:

• A city council meeting is scheduled for 6pm Monday June 8th on the second floor of City Hall. A report on downtown fires will be reviewed.

• Prices at the pump dropped from last week, with highs of ¢168.9/L and lows of ¢156.9/L for gasoline reported. 

• There are four active fires in the Prince George fire district, one of which on the west side of Germansen Lake about 150km north of Fort St. James is currently out of control.

• GoByBike Week ended its spring campaign in Prince George, running May 31-June 6th and featured a bike valet which encouraged riders to explore downtown.

• June marks Pride Month in Canada, with a Mayoral Proclamation kicking off Pride Week events June 26th at City Hall. The week includes a drag show on the 27th, followed by a dance, featuring a theme of queer history through the 20th century.

• After a number of local organizations including Everyone at the Table (EAT) advocated for the city to adopt a Food Charter the city did endorse it on May 25th following recommendations raised by the 2025 Official Community Plan (OCP). The city and regional district have perspectives on what their role in food sovereignty now is.

• Beading workshops occur Wednesdays at Omineca Arts Centre, 6:30-9:00pm, hosted by Lynn Biles. Swing on by with a couple bucks for beading supplies.

New Syndicated Program from CICK - River Reads

River Reads:

Airing Monday’s 2pm, Friday’s 1am on CFUR!

River Reads, hosted and narrated by River Wilde, is a national award winning program, where those of all ages can escape into fairy tales and strange stories; both new and old, but mostly old and at times macabre, or silly, or even perhaps a little confusing as written in old english and the host fumbles words, and then there’s those stories whose premises have perhaps not aged as well over the years. Laugh or think while listening to “River Ramble.” Or enjoy one of our Gender Blender tale(s), reimagining classic fairy tales’ gender roles. River Reads won Best Small Market Podcast at 2023 Canadian Radio Awards. River Reads is not a kids show but not not a kids show and may contain content suitable for a mature audience. Listener discretion is advised.
