For the first time in our community, men are explicitly encouraged to become informed and get involved in the event. Listen to our conversation and learn more about this important decision and the challenges the change-makers in our community are addressing daily with their work, and passionate advocacy advancing the health, safety, and autonomy of women.

This 33rd Annual Take Back the Night march is an event to honor the memory of the women who have not survived violence; to celebrate those who have; and to demand an end to all forms of violence against women. We can and should be able to walk down the streets of our city safely and on our own.

The event kicks of at 6:30 pm at the Canada Games Plaza down town Prince George in front of the Civic Centre. An 8:30pm wrap up Open-Mic event will be held on UNBC campus at the Thirsty Moose Pub after the March concludes.

Meet your UNBC Pride President: Bo White

We caught up with UNBC Pride Society President Bo White to introduce our audience to this academic year’s Pride Centre leadership. Bo served as VP last year and has quite a bit of insight on how the Centre functions and what is needed to operate successfully. One of those critical factors is volunteer membership. FYI, the Pride Centre needs YOU! Don’t take my word for it though, have a listen to the President of one of UNBC’s most active and exciting organizations laying out what you can expect during the 2024-25 semesters. To drop a hint, Drag nights are returning, alongside some epic UNBC Timberwolves collaborations.

Ian Gregg sits down with Syeda Emaan Iftikhar (President), Armaan Jamwal (Vice President), and a NUGSS volunteer at large Azaz Iqbal to introduce a new cohort of UNBC students to their elected representatives and to get an idea of what they can expect from this fresh team of student leaders.
