The on-location event was open to the public, and hosted by Northern Lights College (NLC) for Aboriginal peoples interested in pursuing post-secondary training. Lunch was sponsored by NLC.
“This was a great opportunity for our members to connect with various companies and education institutions working in the territory. The Education and Career Fair will undoubtedly give our membership a chance to make informed career decisions as prospective employees,” said Audrey Norris, SFN director of education.
A highlight of the event was provided courtesy of Bailey Helicopters who flew a helicopter to the event and awarded a 10-minute ride to the excited family of four who won the draw prize.
Thirteen companies attended the event: Spectra Energy, ClearStream Energy, Macro Industries, Alterra Power Corp., Bailey Helicopters Ltd., BC Oil and Gas Commission, KMC Mining, Lake View Credit Union, Maple Leaf Loading Ltd., Walter Energy, Teck, Vestas-Canadian Wind Technology Inc., and Canadian Kailuan Dehua Mines Co.
