Energeticcity.ca’s investigative stories take a deep dive into the important issues impacting northeast B.C. and involve more time and resources outside of our daily stories. Since August 2021, Energeticcity Investigates has covered the state of healthcare, the history of Northern Health, the opioid epidemic, and uncertainty in the resource sector.
This month, Energeticcity Investigates speaks with local and provincial politicians and the Fort St. John RCMP detachment to discern what is being done to address the number of repeat offenders in the Peace who are part of B.C.’s unofficial “catch and release” court system.
In this installment of Energeticcity Investigates, we speak with a few members of Fort St. John’s Black community to find out about their experiences in the Energetic City and touch on the Black Lives Matter movement in Canada and anti-Black racism in online community-focused spaces.
