Cases of reported domestic violence rose in Prince George-Lheidli T’enneh by 15% from 2024 through 2025. While this startling rise may not correlate with a rise successful prosecution in related crimes, resources that could see more legal accountability in relation to family violence are on their way to the community this summer with Legal Aid BC opening a Family Law Centre.

Naomi Shore hails from Fort St. John, on Treaty 8 territory. A storyteller and lover of sad songs, she delivers performances that are at once contemplative and clever. Through her long-standing presence in our regional music scene as a solo artist, as well as one half of former folk-duo Twin Peaks, crafting music has become more than her trade. It is a way to process life, a way to send a searching hand out through the mists of a melody and connect with the world. We are honoured to welcome Naomi Shore to our airwaves for this episode of the Northern Static Series!

Kicking off July 2nd, writers of Northern BC will emerge from their ink wells and gather through the month of July in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh for the Northern BC Writers Festival across many venues & events. Northern BC Writers Association (NBCWA) President, Amber Ingham is excited to bring together local creatives to network, promote northern literature, and strengthen community. Among a number of goals, Ingham stated the event aims to, “connect with writers across genres and across disciplines, but also give you a chance to connect with writers that are within the same ones.”
The festival offers four streams of affordable events for participants to explore: presentations, mixers, workshops, and writing salons. Challenging the idea that a writer must toil in solitude with a tiny lamp, Ingham declares, “Writing is community.” Emphasizing the importance of people further, the festival’s presenters have signed an AI Policy to ensure that content shared at the festival is human generated.
With published works coming out of the community for decades, and Ingham having hosted a writing club locally for about 10 years, events like this have been few and far between. To get this one off the ground, it took a couple years of networking between Ingham, local author Devon Flynn, then Raegan Cote to express their common desire for a festival, acknowledge they couldn’t do it on their own, then finally, “now we had enough people, to convince other people, to join the writing conference.” Seven total founding members now have their pencil tips sharpened as they invite creatives across the region to get writing and bring more Northern BC perspectives to readers everywhere with the motto, “Write the North.”
