Erica Barney      
Registered Dental Hygienist

I was born in Brockville, Ontario, and moved to British Columbia when I was 3 months old.

I grew up in Port Coquitlam, BC, near a huge dike that led many spiders and beautiful birds to our neighbourhoods. Surrounding the area were mountains, and after a ten-minute drive south, you were surrounded by busy city buildings.

When I was 10 we moved to Campbell River for one year. Vancouver Island is one of the most beautiful places in BC. I miss finding sand dollars and spotting jellyfish in the water. There was a rumor that a large octopus lived under the pier...

I spent my teen years in Salmon Arm, BC. What a great location! I can still feel the warm, sweet air on my skin. Once a year, I take the kids to Salmon Arm to visit Nana and Papa. We travel to the local farms and collect fresh apples, peaches, raspberries, and apricots. If we bring home a large box of fresh peaches to my husband's auntie, she cans them and brings us a jar every time she visits. One time she ran out, so I purchased a can of store-bought peaches... it wasn't the same!

I moved to Prince George when I was 21 with dental hygiene in mind. My career was first on my list; however, life throws curve balls. I found myself married and wanting to begin a family, so I spent 6 years taking care of my children. We had so much fun! We went camping, travelling and spent lazy days at the park. When my youngest entered kindergarten, I knew it was time to pursue my career again, and that is exactly what I did. The dental hygiene program has been difficult with young kids; however, with my husband's help and the help from the grandparents, we have survived!

If you're wondering what I enjoy in my free time, I must say I have many hobbies! I enjoy running, golfing, snowshoeing, swimming, baseball, camping and fishing, cooking, gardening, biking, and travelling. This list is always expanding.

Chelsea Lestage      
Registered Dental Hygienist

Dr Rozon was my family dentist, starting around the age of 5. She had me loving the dental experience so much that I wanted to become a dentist when I grew up! Once I graduated from Kelly Road, I took a couple of years off school before enrolling in the dental assisting program at CNC. I graduated in 2011 and worked as a CDA for 3 years before returning to CNC to complete the dental hygiene program, graduating in 2016.

I am so happy to have returned to my original dental roots and work with my hart family!
