The New Pathways to Gold Society is partnering with First Nations, local organizations and government to provide new skills for workers, new amenities for heritage and recreation sites and a boost to the Cariboo’s economy under the Jobs Creation Partnership (JCP) program. Five participants are working on the four-phase, $400,000 project that will see upgrades to heritage/recreational sites and First Nations communities in the region. They’ll gain experience in log building and trail construction as well as learning other valuable skills during the 36-week project. The Project Partners came out in force for the launch at 100 Mile House on May 20 and MLA Donna Barnett (Cariboo-Chilcotin) was there to help kick things off. You can read more about the launch and hear a clip of Donna talking about the project on the mycariboo.com website. And watch this space for updates; the JCP Crew has a lot of work ahead of them between now and December!
