To whom it may concern,
In 2014 I moved away to attend post-secondary education in Kelowna, B.C. Upon completion of my degree, I have recently moved back to my hometown of the Crowsnest Pass where my family and friends live. I moved back home feeling both excited to be back in my hometown and nervous knowing finding a job in my career field of Human Resources was going to be next to slim. Unfortunately, if a job opportunity arises in my field, my chances are still low at getting a job because the competition is so high in a community where little opportunity is regularly given. This puts me in the unfortunate position of having to look for employment in surrounding communities who have more opportunities due to their thriving economies and industries.
I strongly believe that the Grassy Mountain Project has the potential to bring many employment opportunities back to this community. Being a young individual in this community is hard because you feel as though there is little opportunity for you to grow here. Sadly, for recent graduates at the beginning of our careers and lives we feel like our hometown is not a place where we can be successful. Not only will people in my circumstances benefit from having more job opportunity, but I believe the project will attract other young families who want to move to our community as well. Most importantly, for us locals (of all ages) who are forced to seek employment elsewhere, this project will hopefully be able to afford us the opportunity to find success in our hometown.
Thank you for your consideration on this exciting project,
Karlie Stella
