Jessica McCallum-Miller, 27, was elected to council in 2018, at the age of 25. She says her young age, along with her Gitxsan, Nisga a and Tsimshian heritage made her feel alone when tackling issues relating to women and Indigenous people in the community.

Josh MacIver says he has a lot to thank his late sibling for, including the inspiration to become a family doctor.
On Wednesday, two years after completing his undergraduate degree in medicine and 14 years after his brother Gairett MacIver passed away, the Prince George, B.C., native graduated from the two-year family medicine residency program at UBC to become a full general practitioner.
MacIver s older brother, still just a teenager, made international news headlines after receiving four organs at once, including a bowel, liver, pancreas and stomach in a 12-hour surgery at Toronto General Hospital on Aug. 1, 2006.
