Four First Nations communities in B.C.’s northern and Interior regions will increase their clean-energy sector participation in local projects, thanks to funding from the Province.

As part of its ongoing commitment to reduce wildfire threats, the B.C. government is providing more than $169,000 in community resiliency investment grants to support projects in northwest British Columbia.

Getting more First Nations members job-ready by expanding skills training opportunities is the focus of a new project being undertaken by the Gitxsan Development Corporation on behalf of all Gitxsan communities.

More local people working in local jobs. That’s what the Gitxsan Nation hopes to achieve as a result of a provincial Labour Market Partnership project with the Gitxsan Development Corporation.

New training programs funded by the B.C. government will help Gitxsan Nation members improve their job readiness and find new career paths in the emerging liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry. 

The Province is accepting bids on a new woodlot licence 50 km north of Hazelton, in a move that will eventually generate new job opportunities across the region.
