UN World Interfaith Harmony Week February 2023
This series of events are held each year to celebrate and participate in the UN World Interfaith Harmony Week festival that lasts the month of February. Through dialogue, spiritual practice, sharing meals, and connecting with reverent curiosity, we continue to build interfaith harmony here at UNBC and in the wider Prince George community. Please share in this worldwide interfaith movement by checking out some of our events, and share the information widely within your circles.
Join the Interfaith Spiritual Care Centre at the University of Northern British Columbia for a discussion circle on interfaith perspectives and experienced of peace, what it means to build peaceful community, and spiritual practices for personal and collective peace. Panelists from different faiths and backgrounds will share perspectives and experiences of Peace, what it means to build peaceful community in the diversity of northern BC, and exploring the nature of interfaith dialogue in Prince George, BC.

The Coldest Night of the Year February 25th 2023
The Interfaith Spiritual Care Centre has a team of walkers fundraising for the Association Advocating for Women and Community (AWAC) through the event Coldest Night of the Year. Everyone from the UNBC community and beyond is welcome to join our team to walk, participate virtually, donate or to leave a message of support on our fundraising page. Part of interfaith work is serving the wider community and working for the dignity, safety, and well-being of all. Help us bring Prince George a little bit closer to that vision.
The next walk will take place on Saturday, February 25, 2023, with a clearly marked 5-kilometre route that includes rest stops and support marshals. Join the ISCC Team here!
