Verena Hofmann was an infant when she immigrated to Canada from Germany with her immediate family in 1980. She was raised and still resides in the rural community of Montney, located northwest of Fort St. John, B.C.

Her educational background includes an Applied Arts Degree and a technical diploma in Land and Resource Management. Verena continues to pursue further education in social sciences and is presently involved in a mentorship with a professional Land Use and Occupancy Consultant.

Verena’s interest and passion in community based research was spurred while working for Doig River First Nation as both a Land Officer and Special Projects Coordinator. Verena was employed by Doig River First Nation for three and a half years. Through her mentorship, Verena travelled to Australia in the beginning of 2008 to work on a pilot use and occupancy mapping project with the Yorta Yorta Nation.

Verena has been with the Treaty 8 Tribal Association (T8TA) since June of 2008. As the Community Consultation Coordinator for the Site C proposal, her focus is to assist in the development, implementation, and coordination of community engagement and outreach in each of the T8TA communities.

Aside from her educational pursuits and work responsibilities, Verena enjoys hiking, canoeing, collecting and pressing plants, and microphotography.
