Education and career fair at Saulteau First Nations

On March 9, Saulteau First Nations and the Muskoti Learning Centre hosted an education and career fair for Grade 10-12 students from Saulteau First Nations as well as students from Chetwynd Secondary School and Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

Northern Health was invited to feature volunteer opportunities, job and career paths through the Grow Our Own promotions and information about the new Dawson Creek and District Hospital. The new facility being built in the South Peace means an ongoing need to health care professionals in the region.

Approximately 100 students and teachers attended the event, which featured info booths from 25 different organizations. The event was extremely positive for all involved and our hope is that the youth were inspired and will consider professions in health care.

Attending these events throughout the Peace Region helps us raise awareness of career and volunteer opportunities within the health care industry and allow us to share information about the new hospital being built in the South Peace.
