I have been shocked at the racism towards Indigenous peoples I have been reading about in Prince George recently, particularly in response to the renaming of Kelly Road school. 

Racists in Prince George seem to feel empowered to make hateful and ignorant statements about Indigenous peoples. 

I studied at CNC 45 years ago and I am heartbroken that so little has changed. In fact, people are even more vocal about their racist notions than I remember. My husband and I were thinking of relocating there but have changed our minds.

I strongly urge the City of Prince George to combat racist comments on social media with official statements of support for its Indigenous citizens and the surrounding First Nations communities. I also encourage the city to undertake educational initiatives and community meetings to support the message of truth and reconciliation.
