  • Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project
    Geoscience BC and Island Coastal Economic Trust Announce the Northern Vancouver Island Exploration Geoscience Project Geoscience BC and the Island Coastal Economic Trust (ICET) are pleased to announce the funding of the Northern Vancouver Island (NVI) Exploration Geoscience Project. Geoscience BC’s Board has approved $530,000 for project activities, which is being matched by $400,000 from ICET, for a total project budget of $930,000. In addition, the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation has provided generous support for stakeholder engagement in the project development phase, through the Campbell River Regional Economic Pilot initiative. “This project was a definite priority coming out of the recent Regional Economic Investment Pilot in Campbell River,” said Pat Bell, B.C. Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Innovation. “It’s easy to see why because mining presents tremendous opportunity for job creation in B.C. and for the north Vancouver Island. The data being collected is essential to moving forward and delivering on the potential for job creation in the region.” The NVI Exploration Geoscience Project will generate new geoscience data for northern Vancouver Island, near the communities of Campbell River, Port Hardy, Port McNeill, Alert Bay, Port Alice and Zeballos. This new regional information will help attract mineral exploration interest and investment, increase the understanding of the mineral potential, and provide local First Nations and communities with more information on the geology of the region. “On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Island Coastal Economic Trust, I am pleased to participate in the announcement for this project, which is the Trust's first opportunity in the mining sector,” said Camela Tang, ICET Vice Chair.

    GALLERY 12391 PIXTON ROAD, LAKE COUNTRY | EXCLUSIVE DISCOVER KELOWNA’S REAL ESTATE COLDWELL BANKER JANE HOFFMAN REALTY A WORD FROM JANE The beginning of a new year always has me reflecting on the year that has just passed. Over the last 12 months, our world has changed so much. We’ve had to find new ways to do almost everything, from having business meetings to visiting with family and friends. Even though there have been challenges in adapting to a new way of life, I can’t help but feel inspired. While so much about our daily lives has changed, we’ve also prioritized what has always been most important to us. Almost every day, I am met with how people’s home-buying preferences have shifted with our changing times. Families are looking for spaces that let them spend more time together, outdoor areas that allow them to take in the Okanagan lifestyle from the comfort of their own property, and more green space for kids and pets. All of this gives me hope because spending time with loved ones in a home that is loved, and in this beautiful valley, is a great gift. I hope that in the new year you get to enjoy special spaces at home that bring you joy. Or perhaps your perfect home is waiting to be found…Whatever 2021 has in store I wish you and your family health and happy memories.
