Growing our team to serve you better
Jolene Lammers The newest member of the destination development team, Jolene Lammers, hails from the great white north. Born in Whitehorse, Yukon, there was lots of time spent outdoors. At the age of 13, her family moved to Vancouver and weekends were spent on the boat fishing, kayaking and touring around the Gulf Islands. Three years ago she moved from the coast to the Cariboo and has enjoyed geocaching and exploring the area with her family. Jolene’s hobbies include drawing and painting. She is excited to bring her diverse skills and passion to the CCCTA to help bring tourism to BC. In her new role as Destination Development Coordinator, Jolene will be working to assist our partners and region to complete the destination development consultation, planning and implement priorities.

Sydney Redpath just graduated with a double major in Finance and Marketing from the University of Northern BC, and has forever considered BC to be one of the most beautiful places to work and call home. When she isn’t pursuing her passions for marketing and entrepreneurship, Sydney can be found hiking, on the lake, or trying to find the perfect cup of coffee. As Confidential Executive Secretary, Sydney provides administrative support to the new Marketing Committee and CEO to ensure your marketing priorities get the attention they deserve.
