Voices & Culture Summit Returns to Hearten Local 2SLGBTQIA+ Community

For only the second time in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh’s history, a conference celebrating queer culture was held this February 2026. The first, being held almost as a dry run this past September 2025, went well enough to expand upon the themes of community voices, artists, service providers, and people doing grassroots work for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community across Northern BC.

Panels on Two-Spirit identity, Entertainment & Production, and more were peppered amidst a drag story time, a zine creation workshop, and other opportunities to express & gain perspective. The day was not strictly academic though, as the evening capped the summit off with a gala featuring burlesque, a drag infused runway-inspired fashion show, and plenty of dancing.

V&C Panel: Organizing Pride in Northern Communities

The Northern BC Queer Connections Society (NBCQCS) spearheaded the event dubbed the Voices & Culture Summit, and in so doing revealed they had bridged a gap amongst related local non-profits. At the event, NBCQCS Executive Director Laura Binette and Prince George Pride Society Secretary Heather Hillier announced on stage that their separate organizations would now collaborate to bring together the annual Pride Parade and Pride Picnic into one event this summer, on July 4th.

That welcome news added to the general sense of fulfillment that populated the Prince George Civic Centre during the summit. Many attendees remarked how heartened they felt to witness and be a part of such a gathering in Northern BC. While some wished there was a larger presence of elected officials, local artist Bowie, noted the significance of the event’s visibility, “It feels symbolic to have a huge queer event like this in the heart of downtown.”
