Message froM the resource connector north Board oF directors
The pandemic has affected us all and, like many organizations, it has caused Resource Connector North to change how it operates. While we have been meeting exclusively through online media, we have still managed to achieve several important accomplishments for 2020 with the goal of promoting economic growth in the natural resource sector for the benefit of all British Columbians.
Resource Connector North has engaged social media to connect with more of our members more often. We registered our website www.resourceconnector.ca where new members can register online at www.resourceconnector.ca/ membership/become-a-member, and our current members can update their business information online. We have also increased our LinkedIn presence with a webpage (www.linkedin.com/company/resource-connectornorth/) and use of Facebook (www.facebook.com/ ResourceConnector) and Twitter (www.twitter.com/ ResourceNorth) to promote RCN’s activities and broadcast resource projects to our followers.
After the passing of RCN’s long-time director, Rosalind Thorn, the Board created a bursary at the College of New Caledonia in her name for students enrolled in trades programs. This year’s recipients were Christian Kelly and Damon McCulloch. We are also happy to announce we are working on new bursaries with two more northern B.C. colleges, Northern Lights College and Coast Mountain College to broaden our reach to all areas within our mandate.
The Resource Connector North Board would like to introduce three new directors: Cameron Braun, Dynamic Capital; Leonard Legault, IRL Supplies, and Sidney Roy, Allnorth Consultants Ltd.
We are excited to once again be working with DEL Communications to develop our 2021 RCN Membership directory and magazine. You can check out past issues of the Resource Connector North directory and magazine at www.resourceconnector.ca/resources/magazine.
Finally, we postponed all of our in-person networking events for 2020 due to COVID-19. However, we are planning to resume hosting in-person, resource-based events in 2021 once it is safe to do so.
We wish you all the best for 2021 and we look forward to connecting with you to enable business to develop as a result of our region’s bountiful resources.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
