Hoogland and E. Mosley participated in this year’s CICan conference held in Niagara Falls, Ontario. They both have written reports that will be distributed among the Board Members. Of particular interest to D. Hoogland was a landscape of post-secondary institutions across Canada: that students live within 50 kilometres of the 685 campuses and learning centres. She commented that it would be interesting to learn the number of students within the NIC catchment area that actually access its campuses and learning centre. Links to videos and materials from the CICan conference website will be circulated among the Board Members. B. Minaker, J. Murphy, J. Atherton and D. Hoogland participated in the Aboriginal Cultural Sharing Day held on May 15 at the K’omoks Big House in Comox. R. Grant attended the Industrial Automation capstone project demonstration held May 29th at the Campbell River campus. B. Harsell, who is also instructor for the Industrial Automation program, added that Campbell River councilor Ron Kerr was also present at the demonstration. R. Grant also actively supported the fund-raising campaign for the Campbell River campus and on June 7th, joined the annual Nanwakolas Golf Tournament which raises funds for a bursary for First Nations students. R. Everson met with J. Bowman to discuss women in trades training, advocacy to designate seats for First Nations students in Vancouver Island post-secondary institutions and the possibility of NIC offering an occupational health and safety training program. R. Everson pointed out that not all post-secondary institutions designate seats for First Nations students.
