Born on Vancouver Island, raised in One Hundred Mile House, BC, 48 year-old Chris St. Jean, has been mining off and on for 18 years, and only recently discovered that he has roots dating back to the Klondike Gold Rush. His great-grandparents were early settlers in Dawson City, and his grandparents were born and raised there. Chris has grown children from a previous marriage and recognizes he's been given an opportunity with his partner Nika to be more present in their daughter Zyla's life. Chris is tireless, a clever miner and a resourceful mechanic. Hot headed and short fused under stress, Chris has very high work ethic standards and the stubborn determination to succeed, but he’s hobbled by chronic knee problems that could sideline him indefinitely.
