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.

We are excited to share that we have relocated the Dawson Creek Community Garden and it is now open to the public!
The community garden was relocated from the Northwest corner of Northern Lights College's property in order to make space for the new Dawson Creek and District Hospital. The relocation project was done in collaboration with the Dawson Creek Community Garden Society, Northern Lights College, Stantec Inc., and Northern Legendary Construction Ltd. Construction began in June 2021 and was completed in September 2021. We maintained and transferred architectural features from the old garden including the entryway gate and the metal memorial bench.
The Dawson Creek Community Garden Society hosted their grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony on Saturday, June 18. Although it rained most of the morning, that didn’t damper the mood of those in attendance. The event started with speeches from Fern Hansen (President, Community Garden Society), Ashley Pannozzo (Community Engagement Liaison, DCDH Replacement Project), Katie MacLeod (Project Manager, Clark Builders), and Shaely Wilbur (Council Member, City of Dawson Creek). Following the speeches, attendees enjoyed cupcakes and a walk through the garden.
“This year, I’m looking forward to the community garden continuing to be well received and respected and for society members to continue to garden because we’re off to a fabulous start,” said Fern Hansen, President of the Dawson Creek Community Garden Society. “With the relocation, we’re so happy to have the new fence for protection, and the raised garden beds for easier access to gardening. They’re much more practical in terms of use, they look beautiful, and they’re easier to work with because you’re not crawling on the ground.”
Now that the community garden is officially open, citizens of Dawson Creek can get their hands dirty this planting season and grow locally, all while enjoying the company of fellow gardeners on the new site.
