This summer, Northern Development staff have been traveling across the region to connect with our 2025/26 Local and Indigenous Government Interns and the communities they serve. In July, the team visited Burns Lake, Telkwa, Smithers, Fraser Lake and Quesnel. By August, the visits expanded to Fort St. John, Pouce Coupe, Tumbler Ridge, Clinton, Logan Lake, Lillooet, Terrace and Prince Rupert.
Highlights included time in Logan Lake, where intern Krishanth Selvarathnam met with Felicia Magee (NDIT) and Laurel Grimm (Director of Corporate Affairs). In the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine, intern Tatiana Block joined Wendy Okoye (NDIT), Meghan Bowles (Economic Development Officer), and Jordan Hammond (NDIT) to share updates and community experiences.
These visits provide valuable opportunities to support interns, strengthen local connections, and celebrate the important contributions they are making across Northern BC.
