Chief Trevor Makadahay - Before the Peace

In this episode, Tre welcomed back Doig River First Nation Chief Trevor Makadahay to the Before The Peace — four days after the band’s evacuation order was rescinded due to a wildfire in the area.

Many members spent a whole week in Fort St. John during this time while the First Nation’s departments and its Emergency Operations Centre worked to ensure people were informed of the situation. They also helped out with protecting properties, infrastructure, and more. Industry partners also assisted the nation and/or by providing equipment for the band to battle the blaze.

We also talked about Doig Days and shovels hitting the ground for the Urban Reserve in Fort St. John, Naache Commons, and a proposed Urban Reserve for Dawson Creek.

Thanks to Troyer Ventures and the Fort St John Co-op for making this show possible
