About This Podcast

Personal, powerful conversations that deserve to be listened to. Before the Peace will take you on a journey with an Indigenous, Métis, or Inuit lens on the history of the Peace Region. We touch on the triumphs and trials of some well-known leaders of Treaty 8 Territory, we chat about Indigenous influencers on TikTok, identity, the first settlers of the Peace and so much more. Before the Peace was voted the Best Podcast (Small Market) in the 2024 and 2025 Canadian Radio Awards.


Thank you to our sponsor the Fort St John Co-op for funding such an important project.
