Misty is a small programmable robot that has been sitting in the UNBC Computer Science lab for about five months. It has touch sensors, a camera that picks up what is going on around it, and little wheels so it can roll around. Everything on it is programmable. Ramin Kupaei, a Master’s student in Computer […]
I was sitting at home on Saturday when my phone started blowing up. It was my friend. “Did you see the news?” That was all she needed to say. Within minutes, I was in tears, but not the kind I’ve cried before when news from Iran comes through. These were different. These were happy tears. […]
For the first time in Prince George, Maha Shivratri was celebrated at Sanatan Mandir Prince George, operated by the Shree Maa Bhameshwari Kali Mandir Trust. Though the temple has been open for only about a year and a half, it has already become a growing spiritual and cultural space, celebrating Hindu festivals and keeping Indian […]
I’ll be honest. When I first walked into the Coffee & Conversations session for international students, it was just me and the two runners of the session. But I stayed.

We already know that AI uses enormous amounts of water to process data, but it hits even closer to home as more and more data centres move to the north. This […]
During NBCGSS Student Week 2026, students gathered in the Winter Garden at UNBC to make dreamcatchers, and for many, it was their first time. The event was organized by Alana LaMalice, NBCGSS Director of Indigenous Student Affairs, alongside First Nations Studies Master’s student Cheri Brown. Crystal Behn, Indigenous programmer at Two Rivers Gallery, harvested red […]
As nurses, we are trained to be the final line of clinical defence for a patient’s autonomy. Yet the **2026 British Columbia Budget** (tabled Feb. 17) has forced us, and the people of Prince George, into a staggering moral crossroads. We are being asked to provide “care” in a system that is rapidly funding the […]
Rarely is a meeting so interesting that it deserves writing about. On May 7th, 2025, I had one of those meetings. I had been invited to the Accessibility Committee meeting as an advocate for gender-neutral washrooms. I sat quietly as the committee went through the motions of its regular agenda items. Eventually, we got to […]
