Fraudulent job postings amplify discouragement in challenging local job market
Fraudulent job ads are targeting the Prince George - Lheidli T’enneh community. While many result in online communication, offer generous wages, and are devoid of in-person contact, they ultimately involve receiving a payment before work is completed. When considering a suspicious offer, above all “Trust your gut,” say both RCMP and WorkBC representatives.

UNBC Writer in Residence - Tenille K. Campbell
UNBC hosts Tenille K. Campbell as a Writer in Residence between January and April 2025. Occupying an office in the administration building, Campbell will work on new material for a future story, meet with visitors for creative expression, and perhaps partake in a little gossip.
Campbell, originally from English River First Nation, Saskatchewan, gained national attention with her 2017 poetry collection, IndianLovePoems. Exploring themes of sensuality, healing, and connection, her work also reflects modern digital life, where truth is elusive and community is essential.
A self described “social media elder,” Campbell also plans to explore land-based writing involving her family’s brief history in Lheidli T’enneh Territory. She will also be attending the Weaving Words Festival or ‘Ut’loo Noye Khunni from March 5-8. - Ian Gregg, CFUR Due North
