Today, PGUAJS | Northern Indigenous Justice Centre (NIJC) was honoured to participate in the July Fire Pit Gathering, spending the day connecting with community members, Elders, Knowledge Keepers, partner organizations, and families in the heart of downtown Prince George.

Every conversation matters. Whether we were sharing resources, answering questions, or simply taking time to listen, each interaction strengthened the relationships that make our community resilient.

At PGUAJS | NIJC, we believe justice is about more than responding to challenges. It is about creating opportunities for healing, restoring relationships, empowering families, and ensuring culturally grounded supports are available before, during, and beyond involvement with the justice system.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, shared a story, asked a question, or simply said hello. It was an honour to stand alongside so many incredible community partners dedicated to making Prince George stronger, healthier, and more connected.

Together, we continue walking alongside Indigenous peoples and communities, building pathways to healing, hope, and lasting change.

❤️ We look forward to seeing you at the next community gathering.

History teaches us that strong communities are built when people choose courage, dignity, and connection.
In Canada, the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples has always carried both challenge and responsibility. Long before Confederation, Indigenous Peoples had laws, governance systems, languages, trade networks, spiritual practices, family structures, and deep relationships with the land. After contact and colonization, those relationships were disrupted through policies that caused lasting harm, including the loss of land, culture, language, family connection, and self-determination.
But history is not only a record of harm. It is also a record of resilience.
Important milestones remind us that change is possible:
• The Royal Proclamation of 1763 helped shape treaty relationships between First Nations and the Crown.
• Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982, recognized and affirmed existing Aboriginal and treaty rights.
• The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s 94 Calls to Action continue to guide meaningful reconciliation across Canada.
• The term Two-Spirit was embraced by Indigenous communities in 1990, helping reclaim Indigenous understandings of identity, spirit, gender, and belonging.
• Across the country, Indigenous leaders, Elders, youth, knowledge keepers, advocates, and allies continue building stronger paths forward.
This history matters today.
As Prince George gathers for Pride, including the 29th Annual Prince George Pride Parade and the Pride Picnic at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park, we are reminded that visibility, safety, belonging, and dignity are community responsibilities.
At PGUAJS / Northern Indigenous Justice Centre, we are proud to support Indigenous people, Two-Spirit people, 2SLGBTQIA+ community members, families, youth, and all those working toward safer, healthier, and more inclusive communities.
The path forward is not built by pretending history was simple. It is built by telling the truth, honouring resilience, repairing harm, and walking together with respect.
Justice. Healing. Community.
Respect. Reconciliation. Belonging.
We walk together.
We heal together.
We rise together.
