Internal Staff Review
POSTED: JAN 5, 2026

The Prince George Symphony Orchestra became aware on December 22 of a report published by the Canadian Anti-Hate Network referencing the attendance of a staff member at the July 2025 event Exiles of the Golden Age. The organization had no prior knowledge of the report or of the staff member’s attendance at the event and was alerted later on December 22 by a patron.

The Prince George Symphony Orchestra has concluded its internal review. The Operations Manager is no longer with the organization, effective February 10, 2026. 

As this was a personnel matter, the organization will not be providing further comment.
