40 Years. Thousands of Stories.

40 Years. Building a Stronger North Island Together

For 40 years, NIEFS has had the privilege of walking alongside the people, businesses, and communities that make the North Island such an incredible place to call home.

Since 1986, we've been part of thousands of stories. Stories of first jobs, career changes, growing businesses, new beginnings, community partnerships, and moments that changed someone's path.

As we celebrate this milestone, we're taking the opportunity to not only reflect on where we've been, but even more importantly, to celebrate the people who have made the journey possible.

That's where you come in.

Whether you found your first job through NIEFS, hired an incredible employee, partnered with us on a community project, or simply shared a conversation that made a difference, your story is part of ours.

Throughout our 40th anniversary celebration, we're inviting our communities to share those memories. Visit our Campbell River or Port Hardy location to leave a note in our anniversary memory boxes, or email your story to [email protected].

Every message—big or small— will help us tell the real story of the last 40 years.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

We can't wait to see where the next chapter takes us.
