Alyson Gourley-Cramer
Manager of Communications and Media Relations

Tree planting for brought her “out West” where she stayed to attend the University of Victoria as a visiting student. Following that, Alyson got her B.Ed. At Simon Fraser University and a Master’s degree in Applied Communications (now Professional Communication) at Royal Roads University.
Alyson just ended her three-year term as President of the local chapter of Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS). Before that, she was Professional Development Chair for the chapter, winning national awards for both membership increase and educational programming.
Alyson is a huge proponent of the arts and culture scene in Prince George. She also has a love of the outdoors and outdoor rec that Prince George is known for. Although her mountain biking and snowboarding days are numbered with the arrival of two children, national-caliber Nordic skiing and access to tree-lined trails just minutes away from her UNBC office is a definite asset to work-life balance.
