Northern Region
Message from Malachy Tohill, Regional Director, Northern Region We would like to thank the Northern Region’s staff for all their hard work and dedication to our team over the last year. It has been very busy with lots of emerging and on-going pressures. We recognize the challenges and shifting priorities that arise, but the staff in the PG office make it
enjoyable to come to work with their positive outlook and sense of humor . We are extremely proud and grateful for the team we have. Happy Holidays.
In Case You Missed It…. Keeping Northern BC Communities Safe and Warm during Extreme Cold As temperatures in Northern BC plunged to -25 degrees Celsius, our BC Housing Northern team in Prince George have been working hard to keep their communities safe and warm from the freezing temperatures outside. The team prepared cold weather support kits for outreach workers across the region to disperse to those without a shelter or are at risk of frostbite and other hazards from the extreme cold. Over the winter months, they plan to distribute 300 cold weather support kits.
Going Great Heights for the Prince George Fire Department Ask anyone who was there: it was quite the sight to see a Prince George fire truck parked in front of the Victoria Towers building (directly managed by BC Housing) with its ladder fully extended. Thankfully, it wasn’t for an emergency; the fire department was there to train new hires on the ladder truck. Specifically, they were checking to see if the ladder would reach a certain height and floor of the building, depending on which side of the building they were on. For many of our team at the Victoria Towers building, it was the first time seeing something like this and they agreed it was pretty cool to watch the fire department’s training in action.
