About the Digital Marketing Bootcamp
This Summer 2020 cohort will be Alacrity’s third Digital marketing cohort, and the first time that the material will be offered entirely online. The weekly time commitment is roughly 24 hours for six weeks and 12 of the 24 hours per week require participation in real-time. Students are able to view the pre-recorded videos at their discretion but are encouraged to join their groups/teams online from 1-4pm from Tuesday to Friday.
The course curriculum offers multiple sessions with expert digital marketing mentors. These experts will cover topics such as: storytelling, personas, user experience, Google and Facebook ads, Google analytics, video creation and editing, content marketing and distribution, lifetime value and churn, how to find a job in tech, TikTok, and more!
The Ministry of Jobs, Economic Development and Competitiveness is contributing $250,000 to cover the tuition costs for up to 250 participants from registered B.C.-based small and medium-sized businesses, with a limit of one participant per business. Unemployed or underemployed British Columbians may be able to register at a reduced cost and there may be additional financial support available for them. In addition, the cost of the course may be further reduced as more participants register. Follow the link to sign up and #LearnWithAlacrity 🎓

WHERE RIVERS MEET & FRIENDS GATHER
A riverside jewel bursting with charm and hospitality, Telkwa’s warmth embraces visitors from around the globe. Nestled on the banks of the world-renowned Bulkley and Telkwa Rivers, the picturesque, historical village borders Tyhee Lake Provincial Park and is surrounded by snow-capped mountain ranges and a myriad of lakes and streams,
Telkwa's spectacular natural setting offers extensive outdoor adventure and recreational opportunities. Whether you love to hike into an alpine lake, raft through whitewater rapids, ski down fresh powder slopes or battle the will of large steelhead; Telkwa has year-round wilderness adventures. Local sightseeing and adventure tour operators offer world-class hunting and sport fishing, hiking, canoeing, rafting, kayaking, bird watching and wilderness photography explorations. The adventures continue in the winter with phenomenal ice climbing; cross-country, backcountry and downhill skiing; snowmobiling, and snowshoeing.
It was in 1906 that the valley's first European settlers put down stakes at a place that First Nations people referred to as "Where the Rivers Meet". The first townsite in the area, Aldermere, was originally established on the bluff above the Bulkley River located on the Telegraph Trail system and a central restocking spot for prospectors following the call of the Gold Rush. As the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway began constructing the western section of their railway in 1907, many businesses and settlers began to move down the hill to the present site of Telkwa to be closer to the anticipated railway and an easier water supply. Today, over 100 years later, the community of Telkwa continues to be called home by its' nearly 1,500 residents. An extensive walking trail system winds through the original townsite of Aldermere and embraces Telkwa's parks and historical buildings, including the restored 1910 St. Stephen's Anglican Church and the Pioneer Museum. Many of Telkwa's historical buildings, including the library, remain as testaments to our past and can be seen with a self-guided walking tour.
