On Tuesday, March 12, Saulteau First Nations and Muskoti Learning Centre hosted an education, jobs, and career fair and welcomed local job seekers, band members, and secondary school students from Chetwynd, Tumbler Ridge, and Hudson’s Hope.

Attended this event on behalf of Northern Health (pictured from left to right): Logan Ritcher, Indigenous Care Coordinator, Chetwynd Hospital and Health Centre; Ashley Pannozzo, Community Engagement Liaison, DCDH Replacement Project; and Byron Stewart, Northeast Recruitment and Retention Ambassador.
A little bit about Logan and her role as the Indigenous Care Coordinator:
Logan was born and raised in Chetwynd and is a Saulteau First Nations member. She recently graduated from Douglas College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and returned to her hometown to begin working. Being passionate about Indigenous health care, she was hired for the Indigenous Care Coordinator (ICC) position at the Chetwynd Hospital and Health Centre in June 2023.
In her role as the ICC, Logan works with Indigenous clients throughout their health care journey to support and educate them on services and supports that are available. She also works with staff members to incorporate traditional health practices into patient care and into the hospital’s spaces. Bridging the gap between western and traditional medicine is an extremely important aspect of her role.
Logan finds her position with Northern Health Indigenous Health to be extremely rewarding because she is continuously learning about health care and the different aspects of patient care. She’s very excited to see what the future holds for roles similar to hers and how the Indigenous Health team will expand and grow.

A new hospital for the community means more than just investing in health-care, it also means economic opportunities for the region. Construction on the new hospital just started, but local businesses and workers are already involved in and benefiting from the project.
Wherever possible, Graham Design Builders LP is prioritizing working with and hiring local and regional businesses. Local hospitality businesses are also benefitting from workers being in town and renting hotel rooms or houses for weeks or months at a time.
Check out this document (Local and regional businesses) to view the list of just some of the local and regional businesses that are already involved in the project - which we will continue to update as the project progresses.
Graham, through their subcontractors, have also already hired a number of local labourers and apprentices to work on site – with more opportunities to come. They will advertise employment opportunities on various platforms such as Indeed, Kijiji, and LinkedIn as well as on the Graham Careers page.
A project of this size requires a large workforce and Graham is committed to filling as many positions as possible with people from the local community and region. During the peak of construction, there will be approximately 350-375 workers on-site. As the project progresses, the number of out-of-town workers is expected to increase as more specialized skills, not always available locally, are needed.
Graham plans to work closely with Northern Lights College’s Trades and Apprenticeships department to provide eligible students with apprenticeship training. Northern Health has also been reaching out to local and regional Indigenous communities to share these opportunities with the economic development and employment and training departments.
