Craig Hooper arrived in Vanderhoof, BC, in 1973, having accepted a job as assistant forest ranger with the BC Forest Service. His passion for the outdoors and concern for the future of the Nechako River led him to become a very active member of the Nechako Neyenk’ut Society, one of the groups that sprang up in opposition to Alcan’s Kemano Completion Project. Craig is an avid historian and is particularly interested in First Nations history and culture.
