11. Kelly Bryan Community Development Officer Tumbler Ridge, BC Graduated from UNBC in May 2010. Completed his internship with Northern Development in September 2010. Hired as the Community Development Officer for the District of Tumbler Ridge in November 2010.

12. Kelly Bryan After a stint as an economic development intern landed him in Tumbler Ridge, Kelly Bryan decided to stick around. The district’s new community development officer (CDO) stepped into the job on December 6, taking on the same title Ray Proulx vacated last spring. But Bryan said his role at the district will be more focused on economics than on community development. Bryan, 22, grew up in Williams Lake, and attended the University of Northern B.C. (UNBC), attaining a Bachelor of Commerce degree. From there, he sharpened his skills during a six-month internship with the Northern Development Initiative Trust (NDIT).
