The Urban and Away from Home Indigenous Vaccination Clinic opened its doors with an opening ceremony this morning (Tuesday).
The clinic will be available on May 11th, 13th, 14th, 18th, and 19th to provide first-dose vaccinations to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people living in the Prince George area.
Local Drum Circle, Thundering Eagles performed at the ceremony, and band member Robert Goats from Ulkatcho First Nations was the first to receive his shot at the clinic.
He says the experience was a little nerve-racking at first, but once he entered the clinic his nerves were eased.

Today, Earthjustice on behalf of a coalition of fishing and conservation groups returned to court to challenge the latest federal plan for hydropower operations on the Snake and Columbia Rivers. This latest plan was developed in a rush by the outgoing Trump administration and it green-lights essentially the same operations the courts have consistently rejected for more than two decades and through a half dozen different failed efforts. This is the eighth incarnation of this long legal fight to restore endangered salmon and steelhead.
