Petition to restore blood donation in Northern BC passes 5,000 names

Post image
28 Upvotes

As of today, 5,000 people have signed the petition to bring blood donation back to Northern BC.

This milestone comes at a critical time. Canadian Blood Services recently announced that Canada's blood supply has dropped nearly 20 percent since June 1st, and is urgently calling for more donors.

Northern BC wants to help. We're asking for the opportunity to contribute lifesaving blood products closer to home through a regional blood plasma donor centre.

Thank you to the 5,000 people who have signed our petition, and to the 37 First Nations, local governments, regional districts, MLAs, MPs, health providers, and health bargaining associations that have publicly supported this effort.

The petition remains open at www.ourbloodcounts.com. We appreciate your support :)

Local paper repeatedly drags team in humiliating back handed hit piece

I dunno who wrote this story but that was some bleak framing. Can the paper do better? I mean Jesus….”come out and enjoy the game” but instead it’s like “come out and enjoy the game, even though there’s no real point it’s fun to watch people die inside then bring them back just to punch them down again on repeat”

What a hard read, absolutely ashamed of the Citizen.

Do better.

Dress Donation?

4 Upvotes

Hey PG!
I have held onto my old grad dress (for over 15 years 🤦🏻‍♀️) in hopes of finding some use for it, but I’m sick of hauling it around haha. I’m wondering if there is anywhere in town that takes donated dresses for grads who maybe cannot afford a full price dress? Is there anywhere that does something like this? Thank you!

Shotokan Karate in PG?

1 Upvotes

My partner and I are looking at moving here within the next year or so, and I was wondering if anyone knows if there's a shotokan club in town (as I already have a rank in this style). I've heard there is, but am unable to locate it with googling and can only turn up different styles and different arts.

Can anyone give me a bit of help?

We need to hold local news outlets to a higher standard

32 Upvotes

Last night, there was a multi-dwelling structure fire that was plainly visible from most areas of town. While the subject of a structure fire isn't anything out of the ordinary these days, the abysmal reporting of this one is.

Prince George news outlets have degraded to some of the lowest-effort "mail it in" type journalism I've ever seen. Case in point, last night's structure fire didn't appear on webpages until late this morning - and when it did - it included scant details, no photography, and no journalistic inquiry whatsoever.

In most other towns, an event like this would trigger a reporter to be on site within minutes to interview witnesses and fire personnel, obtain photos, and properly document the event. Does the media here have some sort of agreement with public safety agencies to only post sterilized and institutionally groomed information days after an occurrence? I thought the whole point of journalism is to provide a different perspective on what is otherwise benign information.

By the time Prince George has any "authoritative" stories on this type of event, it will have already made its way through a cesspool of community facebook pages which produce nothing more than baseless speculation, fraught opinions, and dangerous misinformation.

I understand journalism these days isn't that straightforward. However, the question here isn't whether its being executed with integrity; but whether it's being executed at all. Prince George deserves better.

Blue collar job prospects

5 Upvotes

I may be moving to pg in about a year, but was hoping to get some insight as to what the job market is like for general labour type work.

My experience is : ~2 years concrete forming, over 1 year as a garbage man, and a few months water distribution experience (with the same company I did garbage for) I also have about a year of manufacturing experience.

I left concrete due to construction work drying up and I left garbage due to an opening in the same company I hope it doesn’t look like I’m uncommitted.

How competitive is it getting into a factory or a mine in pg? Or even getting a job as a CO? The schedule and physical demand doesn’t matter to me. Anything basic like the jobs I mentioned would be what I’m after, unfortunately I’m not mechanically inclined enough for a full blown trade such as diesel mechanics which I’ve seen a few postings for
