Just to keep everything in perspective, it took about 2 decades to get to this point from when it was first proposed.

"the condition of the resources in the ground is good"
The man who uttered that brilliant statement is in charge of the instituiton that purports to further the education of our young people and oh yes, of our mature students too. So he also said that the "infrastructure" had to be examined before any real construction could begin.
Methinks this guy needs to find a student from CNC to write his speeches for him, or are his words an example of 'creative writing' as taught at CNC?

Oops, a new word; "instituition"
Institution.
metalman.

You noticed that Bowman does not have a clue about construction, eh?

I think he needs more than a writer. If he does not have the proper terminology that almost any layperson in a position like that has then he ought to learn it or get the person in charge of property management to speak to this issue.

I am assuming what he meant to say was: "there is a large hole at the site right now as existing underground services were examined before the new construction could begin."

FYI, knowledge of location and conditions of underground services and associated as built drawings for facilities such as that of that age are normally not in the best of shape. This would give them a good idea of the services inventory.

Any plan for starting a CNC instituation in the Vancouver area? It seems Bowman
is doing a far better job increasing the enrolments in CNC while the UNBC enrolments going down.

I have seen people lobbying for the establishment of UNBC sending their kids to universities in Klowna and even Kamloops.Cozzetto tried to bring CNC and UNBC closer, is a merger of UNBC and CNC in the cards?

I also wonder if this new funding for CNC is part of "a change of policy" by the BC government from funding UNBC to funding new CNC buildings in PG. Considering the fact that the UNBC teaching facility was forced to be downsized because of funding shortage.

What prevents Bowman from applying for a university college status (i.e. UCNC), if CNC enrolments continue increasing and UNBC's decreasing? I think that is a possible scenario if UNBC board of government fail to address the discrimination and faulty performance evaluations and unfair firings in UNBC, now that Iwama has failed to introduce the expected reforms.

The unfair firing of people like McNamara, instead of mildly reprimending him, has already backfired on UNBC and the public's outrage will make the BC government more angry, and will cause more students to avoid UNBC.

Iwama's first priority was supposed to
be to end the discrimination of UNBC employees and introduce fair performnce evaluations,and *much_more_importantly**, investigate the reported case(s) of discrimination and sexual harrasment in UNBC.

The UNBC students ask: Why UNBC does not fire those UNBC employees who have been formally accused of sexual harassment of students instead of discriminating and firing hardworking employees? I am aware of at least one such complaint in CSAM college in UNBC and I am sure the students know more facts, and puzzled more by the confusing UNBC's human resource policies.
