The start of a new government-to-government relationship between the Province, the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council and seven Carrier Sekani First Nations will increase social and economic well-being for the First Nation communities.

It’s time to enjoy what travellers from around the world came to northern British Columbia for this summer: B.C.’s incredible tourism experiences.

Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training along with the Industry Training Authority (ITA) announced today that a new trades training program  will be offered in B.C. starting October 2015 that will provide Aboriginal people with skills training and work experience necessary to be employed by a wide variety of general contractors and to fill the growing demand for labour in the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) sector.

The tourism sector is having an excellent year and it’s not surprising that many British Columbians are choosing to staycation and enjoy the spectacular tourism experiences in their own backyards.

The Government of British Columbia announced that it is investing $6.2 million to support the forest sector in expanding global markets for B.C. wood products.

As tourism continues to heat up and the North continues to ramp up job opportunities, the B.C. government is again partnering with the Canadian Vocational Training Centre to train up to 10 people in the hospitality industry.
