UNBC recently offered free courses for Aboriginal, unemployed, and low income residents in Vanderhoof. The Business Development Assistants certificate program is part of the federally-financed Community Adjustment Fund. “Participants learned how to start their own business, expand an existing business, or work with other businesses and economic developers,” says Program Coordinator Titi Kunkel.

UNBC Highlights 2009/2010 • The UNBC men’s basketball team scored UNBC’s first national championship this year after going 17-1 during the season and capturing the provincial title. • John MacDonald, co-founder of MacDonald Dettwiler, is UNBC’s fifth chancellor. The Prince Rupert native and CEO of BC-based solar company Day4 Energy is a champion of BC’s renewable energy. University of Northern British Columbia
• UNBC is actively implementing a $15 million bioenergy program at the Prince George campus that could give the core campus the smallest carbon footprint of any Canadian university by this time next year.
The Stellat’en First Nation recently recruited UNBC environmental scientist Stephen Déry to help their community of Stellaquo, located west of Fraser Lake, reduce its carbon emissions. To do this, Dr. Déry borrowed a concept from the popular television series “The Biggest Loser,” but challenged the approximately 500 Stellat’en from the area to shed emissions and particulate, rather than excess weight.
