Hailey Thrift , nominated by Taylor Mills
I am nominating this individual because I had the pleasure of working with her when she was a teen and have seen her blossom into a beautiful mother. Hailey is one of the kindest people I know. She’s hard-working and is truly supportive to every individual that walks into her life. I used to be her supervisor when she was finding her way in this world as a teen. Even then she was always uplifting to her coworkers, going out of her way to help everyone she worked with and even would pick up extra shifts when someone was sick or simply needed the day off. On top of her great work ethic, she is always giving back to the community. Whenever I needed volunteers for a fundraising event, she was the first to hop on board. She continuously tried to recruit others and would stay later at volunteering events, past her timeslot to make sure that we were never short-handed. She never expects anything in return and has a beautiful light and positivity about herself. Truly, this woman is amazing. I have never met an individual who has worked so hard, yet still gives to others when they are in need. Hailey deserves to be recognized for all that she does.

Alicia McKnight, nominated by Darrick Boyes

Alicia stands as a paragon of strength, dedication, and altruism, embodying the spirit of leadership and compassion that this award seeks to recognize.  Alicia’s remarkable journey as an outstanding mother and influential community leader showcases her unwavering commitment to improving the lives of those around her. Her endeavours extend beyond the confines of her immediate responsibilities, reaching into the heart of our community, the educational system, and the professional world.  What sets Alicia apart is her extraordinary ability to care deeply for individuals from all walks of life. She generously donates her time, resources, and expertise, fostering a nurturing environment for children, supporting her employees, and always putting the needs of others before her own. Her actions have not only enriched our community but have also set a powerful example of empathy and leadership.  Moreover, Alicia’s ability to inspire and uplift others is evident in the countless lives she has touched. Her dedication to service and community development, paired with her personal qualities of compassion and resilience, make her a deserving candidate for the Woman of Fort St. John.  Alicia McKnight is more than just a leader; she is a beacon of hope and a source of inspiration for many within our community. It is with great admiration and respect that I nominate her for this esteemed title, confident in the positive impact she will continue to make as an ambassador of our community.  Thank you for considering my nomination of Alicia McKnight for Woman of Fort St. John. I am eager to see her recognized for her invaluable contributions and her tireless efforts to make our community a better place for everyone.  Sincerely,  Darrick Boyes

Amanda Trotter nominated by Amber Lindley

Amanda is the ED of the FSJWRS. Without her, FSJ would truly be a much darker place.  She is tireless in her passionate pursuit of betterment for all persons, particularly the most vulnerable.  Her work often goes unnoticed and underappreciated by the community.
