Community Engagement

Description Boney Creek Development commissioned a labour market study to assess the current and future workforce capacity across the Nass Region, with a focus on sectors such as pipeline construction, mining, renewable energy, and housing. This included a desktop review, interviews with local business owners and employees, and a community-wide survey with incentives like a drone and a $250 gift card to encourage participation.

The study revealed both strengths in the local labour pool and critical gaps in skills and training needed to meet upcoming project demands. It also provided detailed wage benchmarks, growth forecasts, and industry-specific talent needs. With over 40 housing units recently built in Laxgalts’ap and major projects like Ksi Lisims LNG on the horizon, this research will guide Boney Creek’s efforts to create training pathways, expand employment opportunities, and maximize local economic benefits.
