The province has announced new First Nations education funding for LNG-related trades training in the province’s northeast.
John Rustad, Minister for Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation says this is a new program that’s driven by each participating First Nation.
The funding will allow members of the Fort Nelson and Prophet River First Nation, Blueberry River First Nation, Halfway River First Nation, Tsay Keh Dene Nation, and the Doig River First Nation to take a variety of courses.
The programs are delivered by the Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, and are being funded through the Aboriginal Skills Training Development Fund.
