Carrier Sekani Family Services (CSFS) will host the 20th anniversary Highway of Tears Symposium from April 7 to 10, 2026, at the Prince George Civic Centre, marking two decades since the original 2006 gathering that brought national attention to violence against Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people along Highway 16.
The four-day commemoration will bring together families, Indigenous leaders, advocates, youth, and government representatives to honour lost loved ones, reflect on progress made, and recommit to action grounded in the 33 Recommendations from the original Highway of Tears Symposium 20 years ago.
