An audio bulletin for the wee’s End of May 1st 2026
Looking at the week ahead Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh, the weather forecast temperatures in the 20ºC range. In the newsroom, here is what we’ve picked up on:
The Spruce Kings, Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh’s BCHL Hockey Club opened the third round of their playoff season, against the Nanaimo Clippers on May 1st and 2nd.
Prices at the pump rose from last week, with highs of ¢183.9/L and lows of ¢180.9/L for gasoline reported. The rise occurred despite the April 14th announcement from the PMO, rescinding the federal fuel excise tax until Labour Day September 7th, 2026.
There are five active fires in the Prince George fire district, four of which are currently under control.
Despite significant revenue loss, the College of New Caledonia (CNC) announced a balanced projected budget on April 24, 2026 that required a number of sacrifices to achieve. President Cindy Heitman spoke to us about that.
Also announced April 24th, March 2027 will mark the first time in its 51 year history that the Junior All Native Basketball Tournament (JANT) will take place in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh, bringing roughly 120 teams and 2000 youth athletes with it. An occasion of this scale demands an official host, and at UNBC’s Northern Sport Centre on Friday April 24th the Nak’azdli Whut’en Trees youth basketball team were designated with that title.
Darnell Toth and Jessica Speziale of Toth Entertainment booked their first of hopefully many large endeavours, with renowned DJ Steve Aoki. He’s coming to the CN Centre July 5th.
