TRU tourism alum Mitchell Forgie proves that your passion can become your career!

Not only is he the destination development manager at Tourism Kamloops, but the owner of Red Beard Café and Nigels Speakeasy and founder of Brewloops.💡

Q: What’s one lesson or experience from TRU that stayed with you in your career?
A: TOO MANY! In Billy Collins' class we had to start a blog, and I started mine on urban planning. In that class, I learned about using gondolas as public transit in Portland and Medellín, wrote about that, and now 15 years later I am working for Tourism Kamloops hoping to make that blog post a reality.

Q: What do you enjoy most about your profession?
A: There are so many cool people in Kamloops to meet and many big ideas to support. It really feels like Kamloops is falling over itself right now with many cool projects coming together!

From strengthening wildfire resilience and supporting migrant care workers to exploring equity, the gig economy and HIV stigma, six TRU research projects are tackling some of today's most pressing social challenges.

"SSHRC support for TRU researchers is critical to building human-centred research that responds to real-world issues, builds strong partnerships and creates meaningful impact for communities in British Columbia and across Canada," said Vice-President, Research Shannon Wagner.

What does it mean to learn through connection?

Canoe Journey is a new learning initiative that gives upper-year TRU nursing students the opportunity to learn directly from First Nations knowledge holders, Elders, nurses and communities throughout B.C.

Students will strengthen their understanding of cultural humility, cultural safety and culturally responsive care, helping prepare them to support healthier communities across the province.

"Health to me is more than just our physical being. It is spiritual, it's mental, it's all of those other things that make us healthy humans." – Ed Jensen

A new cedar carving by Secwépemc artist Ed Jensen now hangs in TRU's Chappell Family Building for Nursing and Population Health.

Titled The First Teaching: Care for One Another, the carving draws on a Secwépemc origin story in which the animals come together to help humans survive, offering food, clothing, knowledge and guidance. In return, humans are asked to care for the land and honour the relationships that sustain them.
