Workforce Attraction Recognizing that locally, employers are struggling to fill
positions of all types, in 2022 the City launched a Workforce Attraction marketing campaign and
created a series of videos and social media content to attract people to fill
skilled positions. The videos are available as a playlist on the @ExploreQuesnel YouTube channel. A social
media campaign also ran featuring three of the videos. The videos and associated social media campaigns directed
viewers to a landing page www.quesnel.ca/work with links to more job
opportunities |

2012, 2018 and 2021. 2021 alone observed 61 Wildfires of Note.

between wildland forest and human development. The lands and communities next

protect homes and properties. in 2022, FireSmart initiatives included
outreach, home assessments, a neighbourhood recognition program, fuel
reduction, literature, presentations, and signage. The 2023 season will include outreach, home assessments &
rebates, farm & ranch assessments & rebates, a neighbourhood
recognition program, fuel reduction, literature/signage, presentations,
door-to-door and a public meeting. Neighborhoods such as South Hills and
areas of North Quesnel will be targeted. |

Dragon Lake Hill Prescribed
Burn Representatives from the BC Wildfire Service will be
leading a prescribed burn of the Northstar Interchange in the fall of 2023 to
reduce the potential of fires (both wildfire and human-caused) spreading to
adjacent private properties, infrastructure, and timber. This activity will facilitate better coordination, and
communication and allow training between the Quesnel Fire Department and
British Columbia Wildfire Services resources and introduce the public to the
use of prescribed fires. The team will collaborate with local First Nations, working
alongside BC Wildfire Service and the Quesnel Fire Department members, to
carry out the burn in 2023 and in future years to follow. |
