People visiting or calling Soda Creek Indian Band (SCIB) may notice there’s a new cheerful face behind the counter and on the phone.
Janice Mitchell has stepped into the role of receptionist for the band as long-time receptionist Jessie Hunlin has moved to Treaty and Natural Resource.
Mitchell is from Deep Creek and is a band member.
Mitchell has done similar type of work before and has completed an Administrative Assistant Certificate through Thompson Rivers University. She’s also worked for SCIB before starting in her new role as receptionist.
So far she’s really enjoying the new role.
“It’s a good feeling to be working for my own people,” she says. “It’s good to be back working. It’s a full-time position and I’m happy about that and I get to see band members.”
