Connecting First Nations members to skills training and jobs. That’s something Tara Alfred works to achieve every day. 

First Nations involvement with B.C.’s developing LNG industry received another boost with a new Pipeline Benefits Agreement (PBA) with the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation.

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. 

Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation John Rustad and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton have issued the following statement:

As an Aboriginal Skills Navigator in B.C., helping First Nations members overcome barriers to skills training and access family-supporting jobs is something Gloria Catherall is passionate about. 

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.

The Ministry of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation and the Kwakiutl Indian Band have signed a Letter of Intent to establish a process for building a stronger relationship, with an emphasis on forming a mutual understanding of the 1851 Douglas Treaty.
