I had the privilege of welcoming Federal Minister of State for Western Economic Diversification, Michelle Rempel to Fort St. John and MC'ing the special event at the North East Native Advancing Society Innovative Learning Centre (NENAS) where she announced over $1.4 million in funding to support the purchase of a heavy equipment operator/mining simulator, a driving simulator, as well as the delivery of a training program for First Nations communities across Northeast British Columbia.  The heavy equipment operator/mining and driving simulator is portable, allowing training to be delivered to surrounding communities in northeast B.C.

We know that there is going to be an increasing demand for skilled labour and this mobile training simulator unit will go a long way to training and equipping young men and women so that they can engage in the many employment opportunities that are opening up even as we speak.  For many, this will be their first step to building a bright and prosperous future for themselves and their families.

We need every level of government to step up and play an active role in supporting economic growth and long-term prosperity, and ensuring that we have what it takes to move our country and our communities forward. Tomorrow’s success and prosperity will be only as strong as today’s investment.

Thanks, Minister Rempel, for your visit to BC's Energy Capital, bringing this good news to our corner of the country.
