Shemica Harry

Shemica Harry is excited to be in her new position of Health Station Coordinator at the Cwelcwélt Health Station in Sugar Cane. Working with the public all day, she is enjoying getting to know the people in her community better, and spending more time with Elders. She says she can’t wait until the summer heat comes, so she has an excuse to start doling out freezies to the kids.

Shemica was born in Williams Lake, and raised in Stswecem’c Xget’tem First Nation (Canoe Creek / Dog Creek; SXFN). She is the granddaughter of Louise Harry and Earl Boston. She stayed in SXFN until completing grade 10, then came to Williams Lake for grades 11 and 12.

Straight out of highschool, Shemica started working at Three Corners Health Services Society, where she cut her teeth in office administration and reception. She worked at Three Corners for six years before eyeing the position at the Health Station, and jumping on the oportunity to work in the community of Sugar Cane where she lives with her spouse and four-year-old son.

On the weekends, Shemica loves going on walks and spending time outside with her family. If the weather isn’t cooperating, she enjoys watching a movie with a bowl of popcorn, or reading with her son (she notes that “Hockey with Dad” is one of his favourites).

Stop by the Health Station and say “hi” to Shemica, weekdays from 8:30am-4:30pm.
