New billboards coming to Hwy 16 to raise awareness about MMIWG

4 billboards to be erected between Prince George and Smithers

In northwest B.C., the Highway 16 corridor between Prince George and Smithers will see four new billboards erected next week to raise awareness about murdered and missing Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG).

Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) is partnering with Highway of Tears Governing Body to bring these billboards to the area to address recommendation nine of the 2006 Highway of Tears Recommendation Report as a means to further increase awareness about the MMIWG issue along this notorious corridor.
