A few reminders for everyone joining us tonight for the Doig River Drone Show.

We are not sure how many people to expect, so please be patient with parking, traffic, and one another as everyone gets settled.

Please carpool where possible, leave the closest parking for Elders, avoid the marked off areas, and drive carefully.
Bring a chair, a blanket, and dress warm. Hot dogs / snacks @ 5pm are only as supplies last.

Most importantly, be respectful, listen to our Elders, support one another, and if you see someone struggling, help them out.

We are looking forward to a great evening together. Enjoy the show!

Join us on September 30 as we celebrate Indigenous storytelling with our community.

The evening will begin at 7:00 PM at the Cultural Grounds with drumming, followed by the drone show at 8:00 PM sharing The Beaver Woman Story.

Storytelling has always been an important way of passing on culture, history and knowledge, and we’re excited to share this story in a new way that can be enjoyed by everyone, especially our youth.

Hotdogs and snacks will be available.

We would love to see you out there with us for what should be a really special evening.

K’ih tsaaʔdze protection area established

Recently the B.C. government established the K’ih tsaaʔdze protection area under the Environment and Land Use Act, supported by a designated area under Part 13 of the Forest Act.

The protection area will be in place for 10 years. It will help conserve caribou habitat and boreal ecosystems and encourage ecological restoration while DRFN and B.C. complete the long-term K’ih tsaaʔdze plan.

What the designation does:

- Protects the area from new land and resource dispositions and new industrial activity
- Allows existing, lawful activities to continue, provided there is no new disturbance of the land surface
- Restricts forestry activities in the same area for four years

DRFN and the B.C. government remain committed to an inclusive and accessible engagement process, so that everyone with an interest in this land is informed and engaged as the long-term K’ih tsaaʔdze plan is completed. Updates will continue to be posted on the DRFN-BC website.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this historic occasion with Doig River First Nation.

The opening of Naache Commons marks more than a significant economic milestone. It represents our return to Gah Tah Kwa (House in the Spruce), the place known today as Fort St. John and an area deeply connected to the history of the Beaver people.

This moment reflects our Nation's enduring connection to our traditional territory and our commitment to creating opportunities for future generations. As we gather here, we honour the strength, resilience, and vision of those who came before us while building a prosperous future for those yet to come.

We are grateful to all our members, Elders, neighbouring Nations, government representatives, partners, businesses, and community supporters who helped make this day possible and shared in this celebration with us.
