The provincial government sent out the following media release Friday afternoon about tul’al’txw, our new student housing at the Comox Valley campus.
This was in connection with NIC’s opening event at the housing site. The day began with a ceremony by the K’ómoks First Nation (KFN) in the morning.
In the afternoon, guest speakers included Jessie Sunner, Minister of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, KFN Chief Nicole Rempel and Angie Price, a K’ómoks First Nation member who works with Student Life at NIC. She shared some words from students.
The event received a lot of media attention, including the Comox Valley Record and multiple Black Press newspaper sites, Nation Talk, JetFM/MyComoxValleyNow, CHEK News, the Times-Colonist, CBC Radio and Academica.
