July 1, 2026

Kicking off July 2nd, writers of Northern BC will emerge from their ink wells and gather through the month of July in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh for the Northern BC Writers Festival across many venues & events. Northern BC Writers Association (NBCWA) President, Amber Ingham is excited to bring together local creatives to network, promote northern literature, and strengthen community. Among a number of goals, Ingham stated the event aims to, “connect with writers across genres and across disciplines, but also give you a chance to connect with writers that are within the same ones.”

The festival offers four streams of affordable events for participants to explore: presentations, mixers, workshops, and writing salons. Challenging the idea that a writer must toil in solitude with a tiny lamp, Ingham declares, “Writing is community.” Emphasizing the importance of people further, the festival’s presenters have signed an AI Policy to ensure that content shared at the festival is human generated.

With published works coming out of the community for decades, and Ingham having hosted a writing club locally for about 10 years, events like this have been few and far between. To get this one off the ground, it took a couple years of networking between Ingham, local author Devon Flynn, then Raegan Cote to express their common desire for a festival, acknowledge they couldn’t do it on their own, then finally, “now we had enough people, to convince other people, to join the writing conference.” Seven total founding members now have their pencil tips sharpened as they invite creatives across the region to get writing and bring more Northern BC perspectives to readers everywhere with the motto, “Write the North.”

A Hiatus for the Little Prince – Part 2: End of the Line? - July 1st, 2026

A Hiatus for the Little Prince – Part 2: End of the Line? - July 1st, 2026

While the Little Prince has been the cute cherry-on-top of Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park for decades, the investment it requires to extend its timeline brings gravity to its whimsical ambience as its hiatus sheds light on the historical role the locomotive played in developing the community as we know it.. CFURadio looks at whether the sister miniature rail operation at the Central BC Railway & Forestry Museum can capture stranded passengers, and seeks to understand what the big obstacles are for the Little Prince in the meantime.
