 Jason Alexis - Economic Development Manager

Hadih,
I am a member of the Noolhk’ai Whut’en. I am the son of Dickson and Hazel Alexis. As a child, I was
privileged enough to have lived with my grandmother Marie Alexis and learn of our culture. I lived off
the reserve for over 10 Years where I was at UNBC in the Pre-Med Program. I took time off to raise my
daughter Chaylean Alexis. Unable to commit the time to be successful and with a number of credits
expired, I decided to take up a student loan and study business. I started in the Aboriginal Financial
Management Diploma Program and finished a Bachelor of Business Administration. Directly after
finishing the program, I was hired in May 2016 as the Education, Training and Employment Coordinator.
I enjoyed my time as the coordinator and working with the amazing staff and mentors. I am currently
the Economic Development Manager for Saik’uz First Nation. I look forward to the new position and I
am enthusiastically awaiting all future challenges the new position bring. Mussi
