According to Northern Health, American health-care workers are applying to work in Northeast BC...

The health authority said 48 U.S. physicians had applied to work as of August. Three have been hired, and 40 are actively engaged in the recruiting process.

The province said it has received more than 1,400 job application from U.S. health-care workers since May of this year.

In March, the province launched a recruitment marketing campaign targeting West Coast cities in the United States. Advertisements ran in academic publications through September, and more than 2,950 health-care workers have expressed interest in moving to BC since.

The government has also worked to change policies making it easier for physicians to practice in the province.

A new credential recognition process has been introduced for U.S.-trained and certified nurses. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of BC has also implemented bylaw changes reducing testing and training requirements.

Doctors trained outside Canada and the United States can now relocate to BC without taking an additional exam, the licentiate of the Medical Council of Canada.

The province also provides tools to support health-care professionals on their path to BC, such as Health Match BC or the “Team BC” model.

Northern Health said physicians have many options when choosing a community, and said the process still takes time to ensure licenses and credentials are in place.

The health authority added, “We continue to actively recruit and support physicians looking to come to BC and to advocate for our northern communities.”

Fort Nelson "Tow Truck war" continues...

Northern Rockies RCMP were called to the scene of a fire in a vehicle impound lot in Fort Nelson.

The incident happened in the morning of September 27, inside a secured lot operated by On-It Towing, located on 44th Avenue.

According to police, several vehicles were engulfed in flames when the fire department arrived at the scene.

They said On-It Towing has been the victim of many suspicious fires in the past 16 months, adding evidence at the scene points to each fire being intentionally started.

In June 2024, a man was arrested in connection with an arson case at the same location.

Security footage posted on social media showed two men breaking into the compound and lighting a heavy wrecker tow truck and car on fire.

It’s believed that new fire is part of an ongoing tow truck war dating back to 2024.

Anyone with information about the incident is being asked to contact the Northern Rockies RCMP at (250) 774-2700.

The Village of Pouce Coupe has announced new initiatives to help seniors live independently in their own homes.

According to the village, the Seniors Support Program will begin in early October.

Seniors in Pouce Coupe will be able to access a meal program, in which meals will be delivered to their doors for $5 each, three times a week.

Housekeeping services will also be offered twice a month at a cost of $17.50 per visit.

During the winter season, seniors can access snow removal services up to three times a month, available from November through March.

The village partnered with the United Way British Columbia Better at Home program, the Dawson Creek Society for Community Living, and the South Peace Community Resources Society to make the project possible.

“This program is another step in supporting Pouce Coupe’s seniors, said Danielle Veach, the mayor.
