Nothing but quick news today

I’ve been under the weather, so it’s just quick news today:

• Prince George couple returns from cross-Canada missing Indigenous people walk: “I couldn't stop crying as soon as my feet touched the ground I just sat on my knees for a second. I can’t believe we are done.”

• Video of former Israeli soldier in Prince George goes viral. I feel like the TikTok ecosystem has resulted in far more viral moments from Prince George than any previous iteration of social media.

• B.C. man who shot at Vanderhoof RCMP detachment, triggering active shooter alert, sentenced to 10 years in jail.

• A UNBC professor has received more funding for his research on marine oil spill responses.
