CNC’s NorthWorks Career Fair Sees Healthy Attendance

Listen Here

The College of New Caledonia (CNC) held its annual NorthWorks Career Fair this February 2026 with a crowd of students and recruiters on hand. 2025 saw a competitive local market for entry level jobs, and while not every gig at the fair was for a first year apprentice, the employers at CNC’s event were hoping to fill myriads of roles with post-secondary graduates and students.

Gail Little, Manager of Student Success and Retention mentioned there seemed to be a theme that emerges each year: 

In prior years were more non-profit or healthcare, and this year we’re noticing a higher intake of trades. Mining companies, Finning is here, engineering companies, so we can see that the focus is definitely more on the trades area this year.

While jobs were on offer in the Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh area, many were located throughout BC’s northern region. Students seemed interested in the prospects of nearly every opportunity regardless of location, excepting Vancouver according to one Automotive Collision and Refinishing student. Have a listen.

Two Rivers Gallery Turns Its Ear Towards Interactive Soundscapes In New Exhibit

While we may tend to think of art as something to look at, Two Rivers Gallery has brought in an exhibit you can hear and even feel. Curator Ehsan Mo spoke with CFURadio about the gallery’s auditory experience on display in their exhibit From Far and Wide: The Soundscapes.

Artists Anju Singh of British Columbia, Mathieu Léger of New Brunswick and Ian Foster of Newfoundland and Labrador echoed the idea of “home” as an influential concept for their work, but all presented radically different interpretations in this collection. When asked if the exhibit changed his own experience of living in Prince George–Lhiedli T’enneh, Mo exclaims, “Of Course!” He went on to note disparate experiences park to park, in the forest and on the pavement, “These things add another layer to the way that I understand the place I’m living.”

The interactive exhibit runs from February 5th to April 6th this 2026, at no charge to visitors.

Third Annual BHM Exhibit at Two Rivers Gallery Draws from Community Fabric

Two Rivers Gallery, Prince George-Lheidli T’enneh’s preeminent art gallery welcomes back Black History Month with an official exhibit for the third time in recent history. Heading the exhibition and showcase event is Public Programming Coordinator Maya Levy, who has made it her prerogative to represent local talent & expertise. A variety of keynote speakers and hands-on workshops will be open to the public, but so will a collection of art touching on this year's theme, “Community Roots.” Participants are able to bring an item that represents an aspect of their culture and incorporate it into a tree on display, creating an interactive piece that reflects diversity in the local community.

Until February 14th, anyone who identifies in the black diaspora who has created a visual art piece they’d like to share are invited to submit their piece for consideration to the gallery.

The online submission form can be found here.

Featuring visual art, musicians, keynote speakers and more, on Friday February 27th, Levy says, “it’s really for everyone in Prince George to really come out and support and learn about a new culture that they maybe haven’t before.”
