We are grateful for our Elders and always happy to spend time together as a community.

Doig River First Nation stood with families from across the region yesterday at Festival Plaza.

Chief Justin shared words from the heart, and the drummers offered healing prayers to the community. The songs of the Naachesneh, the Dreamers, carried strength and comfort to the families who are grieving and to those still fighting to heal.

So many gathered. Youth, Elders, families, friends. We stood together, we listened, we prayed, and we held one another up.

In hard times, we come together.

With love,
Doig River First Nation

Family is at the heart of who we are as Dane Zaa people. It is where our children first hear our language, where our stories are shared, and where our values are lived every day.

We honour our Elders for their wisdom, our parents and caregivers for their strength, and our children for the hope they carry forward.

Whether you are out on the land, by the river, or gathered at home with loved ones, time together is what keeps our community strong.

From our families to yours,
Happy Family Day from Doig River First Nation.

Nothing beats a good morning with our Elders ❤️

Bingo cards out, coffee on, breakfast shared, and plenty of laughs around the table at Elders Bingo and Breakfast. Add in FNHA providing blood pressure testing, and you have the perfect mix of fun, connection, and care.

These moments matter. They keep our community smiling, supported, and healthy while making space for stories, teasing, and a little friendly bingo competition. 😉

Grateful for our Elders, our partners at FNHA, and the reminder that wellness is about more than checkups. It is about being together.

Doig River First Nation is working with the Province of British Columbia on a Joint Land Use Plan for northeast BC, and we want to hear from you.

This planning work will help guide how important lands are protected and restored while supporting responsible resource activity across the region. It builds on Doig River First Nation’s existing Land Use Plan and brings together Indigenous knowledge, provincial priorities, and public input.

Community voices matter in this process. An online survey is now open and anyone can share their thoughts and perspectives. Feedback will help shape decisions about the future of the land for generations to come.
