Halloween weekend has crept up on the unsuspecting city of Prince George. As suits, ties, and well-to-do business bustles along amidst leaves whipping through crisp air, the UNBC Northern Pride Centre prepares for a far more scantily clad routine carried out in the darkness. A projection bulb flickers to life in UNBC’s Weldwood Theatre 7pm this Friday Oct 25th for the Rocky Picture Horror Show.
Typically this event serves as the fulcrum for the centre’s funding each year, but with the success of various drag night events initiated after the Covid-19 pandemic, there is less pressure on the success of this event. “It’s not the make-or-break anymore.” Says Northern Pride volunteer Jo Van Winkle. They continue, “It’s definitely getting more and more fun each year.”
A bag of accoutrements is available to each attendee. Costumes, both racy and modest, are welcome $10 in advance $15 at door, Room 7-238, near UNBC’s Winter Garden in building 7.
You can also grab some tickets from Books & Co. while supplies last.

A project Kym Gouchie conceptualized with Rae Spoon years ago has come to fruition with a quiet release this June 13th 2024 on Gouchie’s mother’s birthday, and its joyful noise will now be heard at Prince George’s Knox Performance Centre Wednesday October 23rd, and at no cost to no you. Local philanthropist Selen Alpay & Integris Credit union have supported a number of school groups to come and witness performances Tuesday and also earlier in the day on Wednesday the 23rd. Entry is FREE
The youth-focused album Shun Beh Nats'ujeh: We Are Healing Through Songs, shares lyrics in Dakelh, Secwepemctsin, English, and Cree. All of which reflect Gouchie’s ancestry and personal journey to asserting her identity as a Lheidli T’enneh woman. An all star cast of accomplished Western Canadian producers and musicians joined Gouchie for this complex project, most of which are joining her on stage at 6pm, Oct.23rd. The release is already picking up momentum, as the Vancouver International Children’s Festival will also be hosting Kym and her ensemble in the spring of 2025.
