Job Creation Partnerships (JCP) provided hands-on skills for those seeking employment in our community. The LNTCFS has sponsored a total of ten JCPs. These projects were funded by the Province of BC with the LNTCFS acting as sponsor and trustee.
During this time, JCP participants worked to develop and maintain a significant trail network, campsites, and a geocaching program for the Lower North Thompson. They also conducted silviculture work (tree planting and manual brushing), range management work (invasive plant control and fenceline repairs), milling and carpentry/construction of recreation site infrastructure, and prefabricated post-and-beam cabins.
