Here's what's
new in NWBC

If you stop by the Hazelton Area Visitor Centre, located in a picturesque log cabin at the junction of Highways 16 and 62 in New Hazelton, you might just meet Leah Pipe—the Tourism and Community Development Coordinator—who provides local information to visitors and prospective newcomers alike. 

At the head of the Douglas Channel on the Northwest coast, in the small but growing town of Kitimat, Maddison Dos Santos manages Stepping Stones Daycare - a supportive, nurturing and safe environment for children to learn and grow.

In the Northwest regional hub of Terrace, a city nestled between mountains and rivers, there’s a story of new beginnings for May Hua and her family. May’s husband Kent and their two sons, Bryan and Jayden, have found a new life in Northwest BC after leaving their original home in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Near the northern tip of Kaien Island in the city of Prince Rupert, in a metal-roofed building overlooking the ocean and Seal Cove Salt Marsh, there is a unique restaurant run by an inspiring family.  The restaurant is Arabisk, and the family are the Zaitounis: dad Khaldon (Steve), mom Tehama, their sons Tamim and Obie, and the brothers' partners, Sara and Shayna. 

There's an undeniable trend towards remote work. If you're doing it already or have dreamed about what life could be like with more freedom and flexibility, consider NWBC.
