UNBC announces new chancellor

PRINCE GEORGE — UNBC has announced Lheidli T’enneh elder Darlene McIntosh as the school’s 8th chancellor.

McIntosh has contributed her time and knowledge in providing welcoming words on behalf of the Lheidli T’enneh at countless UNBC events and celebrations. She’s also been a critical member of the UNBC translation initiative committee. She currently serves as cultural advisor at the AAboriginal Resource Centre at the College of New Caledonia.

“Elder McIntosh has been a member of the UNBC community for years. When she offers an opening prayer or a territory welcome at a UNBC event, one instantly feels a sense of calm, appreciation and respect for the lands that our Prince George campus sits. She’s also been pivotal in strengthening the relationship UNBC is honoured to have with the Lheidli T’enneh Nation,” says UNBC President Geoff Payne.

“I am grateful to all those involved in the decision-making process, especially the UNBC Alumni Council, and to Dr. Rheanna Robinson for submitting the initial nomination of such a tremendous individual.”
