BC Assembly of First Nations reacts to injunction failure – My Prince George Now

The BC Assembly of First Nations (BCAFN) sent a release that they were in support of the BC Supreme Courts decision to rule against the City of Prince George’s injunction application to remove the Lower Patricia Boulevard encampment.

“Justice Coval’s decision is a win for First Nations and human rights. By continuing to target the unhoused, Prince George leadership have betrayed their commitments to reconciliation,” said Regional Chief Terry Teegee.

“Evidence-based policy solutions and trauma-informed practices are integral to lasting reconciliation with First Nations, particularly as survivors of the Residential School system, the 60s Scoop, and other destructive colonial policies.”

The release added that at least 80% of Prince George’s unhoused people are indigenous, and that these efforts by the City are causing additional trauma to them.
