Mayor Simon Yu campaigned on building emergency shelters for unhoused residents in northern B.C.'s largest city. A year later, community volunteers have taken on the task despite limited resources and municipal roadblocks.
Signed by the BC Assembly of First Nations, First Nations Summit, and the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, the news release calls the decision by the City of Prince George a "manifestation of structural, systemic racism."
