After issuing a statement to announce her exit from the BC Conservative party on August 25th, MLA for Prince George–Valemount, Rosalyn Bird has been representing her electoral district as an independent. That hasn’t slowed down her advocacy for the concept of leveraging Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh as an inland port, or attending events that connect her with her constituents. One such event was held at The University of Northern British Columbia’s Prince George campus on September 11th, 2026 where it hosted a spinoff Science Meets Parliament event. While the event aimed to connect academics and their research to elected government officials, CFURadio was able to catch up with Prince George–Valemount MLA Rosalyn Bird to chat about that, how to effectively communicate with our MLAs, and has been happening in her world as of late.
