PRINCE GEORGE— UNBC Athletics in conjunction with the UNBC First Nations Centre, UNBC Office of Equity Affairs and the Northern Sport Centre have unveiled their new 55 foot mural that adorns the entrance wall of the Northern Sport Centre.
As the UNBC community strives towards truth and reconciliation through concrete actions (or rather actions painted on concrete), the mural was created to celebrate their Indigenous jerseys. The jerseys were unveiled in 2021 making them first Canadian post-secondary institution to unveil an indigenous designed logo and jersey. The logo was created by former UNBC student and Gitxsan artist Trevor Angus who is from the House of Wii minoosik and was raised in Kispiox, B.C.
“This mural is a continuation of a collaborative, inclusive process that started well before the Indigenous logo and jerseys were originally created and unveiled,” said Loralyn Murdoch, UNBC Director of Athletics and Recreation. “It’s one thing to wear the jersey or to see the jersey, but now to have this accomplishment prominently displayed in such an important space at UNBC’s Prince George campus allows us all to take pride in the traditional territory where UNBC exists.”
