Operations and Maintenance Manager

Hadih! My name is Mickey Phillips, and I moved to Saik'uz almost 30 years ago from Nadzko in the Quesnel area—where I met my wife, Peggy Johnny. I originally worked for Saik’uz First Nation in 1989 as a laborer and, since moving to Vanderhoof, I have been initial attack for forestry, then for Canfor, and after that I was in silviculture until I became a laborer here in the community and now the O&M Manager.  I love working for the Nation. They treat me like family and I hope to continue to work for the band for many more years to come.
