information
about
a

one
that
pays
more
than

wage.
The
CNC
job
fair
is
an
annual
event
that
serves
to
remind
us
that
we
are
all
here
with
the
purpose
of
expanding
beyond

CNC
Students'
Association
-
all
about
student
advocacy
by
Andrew
Steele
The
College
of
New
Caledonia
Students'
Association
(CNCSA)
is
a
vital
component
of
the
social
and
political
life
of
this
institution.
Unfortunately,
many
students
are
unaware
of
the
Association's
ongoing
contributions
to
their
experience
at
CNC.
In
an
effort
to
remedy
this,
Free
Forum
sat
down
recently
with
the
Students'
Association
Resource
Co-ordinator
Rob
Mealey
to
discuss
ongoing
programs,
future
events,
and
the
general
purpose
of
the
CNCSA.
Formed
in
1978,
and
a
member
of
the
Canadian
Federation
of
Students
(CFS)
since
1981
,
the
CNC
Students'
Association
has
continually
championed
both
social
and
political
causes,
particularly
those
which
directly
affect
students.
Past
events
have
included
an
elaborate
display
involving
a
hot
air
balloon
in
the
Atrium
last
year,
to
raise
awareness
about
skyrocketing
tuition
fees.
The
Association
was
also
involved
in
orchestrating
CNC's
participa
tion
in
the
national
strike
on
January
25th
of
this
year,
which
was
the
largest
public
protest
in
Canadian
history.
Mealey
himself
traveled
to
Ottawa
this
past
November
to
meet
with
Conservative
MP
Jay
Hill,
as
part
of
a
CFS
initiative
in
which
all
member
colleges
sent
delegates
to
meet
with
their
representative
MPs
and
discuss
education
issues.
In
addition
to
their
continued
support
in
the
fight
to
lower
tuition
fees,
the
Students'
Association
is
now
deeply
involved
with
the
Rock
The
Vote
BC
campaign.
A
non-partisan
campaign
aimed
at
get-ling
students,
and
young
people
in
general,
to
register
and
vote
in
the
May
17,
2005
BC
Provincial
elections,
Rock
The
Vote
has
already
registered
over
600
new
voters
in
Prince
George
aloneT
Events
hosted
by
the
campaign
have
included
film
screenings
and
a
Unit
731
show
at
The
Generator
on
Tuesday,
March
8.
Many
other
events
are
planned,
including
an
Information
Fair
in
the
CNC
atrium,
during
which
students
will
have
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
representatives
from
each
party
about
their
platforms
for
the
upcoming
election.
A
concert
is
also
planned
for
the
23rd
of
March
at
the
Civic
Centre,
featuring
Sweatshop
Union
with
Kyprios,
Kardinal
Offishal,
and
special
guest
Moka
Only.
Tickets
will
cost
about
$22.00,
and
will
be
available
through
Ticketmaster.
There
will
be
1000
tickets
up
for
grabs,
with
some
being
given
away
through
random
draws
and
other
contests.
The
show
will
also
feature
prizes
of
mp3
players,
T-shirts,
hoodies
and
more,
so
be
sure
to
get
your
ticket
before
they
sell
out.
As
for
the
Students'
Association
itself,
the
name
of
the
game
is
student
advocacy,
be
it
through
organization
of
campaigns
such
as
Rock
The
Vote
BC,
or
through
Federal
and
Provincial
lobbying
on
the
behalf
of
student
causes
and
concerns.
When
asked
about
the
Association's
main
goals,
Mealey
says
it
basically
comes
down
to
improving
education
for
everyone.
"We
have
always
believed
that
anyone
who
wants
an
education
should
get
one,"
he
says.
'The
Students'
Association
is
all
the
students
here
at
CNC,
and
we
are
here
to
work
for
you."
