Interview with Port Hardy’s new manager of recreation and community services – North Island Gazette
Naomi Heith grew up here in Port Hardy and is excited to bring more recreation programs to the town
Port Hardy’s new manager of recreation and community services, Naomi Heith, grew up here in town and said she spent many years fishing, playing soccer, attending youth group, swimming, exploring and “just being a kid.”
“As a young adult I had an itch to get away to the city and was in Abbotsford for 14 years,” she noted. “Three years ago my husband, Geoff, and our four kids decided to move and make Port Hardy our home and we are happy we did. It is incredible to be surrounded by nature; the wildlife, ocean, forest, trails, and peacefulness and awe it brings when you are in it.”
She feels Port Hardy is “a great community, my extended family lives here, and I love the small town feel. When I moved back I wanted to make sure that my kids still had access to programs and events, plus I love being around people and hosting these types of events.”
