CD Sale Cancelled, Showcase @ Legion Cancelled, Radio Bingo Still On...

There may be little, to NO, aspects of our lives unaffected by the COVID 19 outbreak before all of this is said and done. We can pull though this together. Please treat one another with mutual respect, and practice careful hygiene at the same time.

This event is still on :) ….

This event is still on :) ….

Yes the Radiothon is hosted on the Radio, and is therefore somewhat insulated from all the happenings, but only somewhat. Some of our hosts do not have a safe method of coming form and to the station, the environment some have to pass through in order to arrive at the station may be unsafe. The campus itself may be unsafe at times. It’s all hard to say. Between that and some of the gatherings we had planned for the week, the Radiothon is looking a little different now than when it was being planned several weeks ago. It carries on, as we feel that campus-commuinity radio plays an important role in our community, and in times such as this. If you feel the same way, please support us by donating what you can at www.cfur.ca/radiothon

We have had to pull the plug a few of our events, both in and out of our studio. The Two major events that you would be most likely be affected by are the CD sale and the CFURadiothon Wrap-Up Showcase Party. They are cancelled, we are so sorry, but we feel it is safest decision to make in light of current events regarding the COVID 19 outbreak.

Something you CAN still participate in, from the comfort of your bedroom, car, or parkbench is CFURadiobingo!

Check it out, it will be lots of fun, and you can win $100 ;) how cool!

UNBC - COVID-19 UPDATE

Good afternoon all,

In light of COVID-19, UNBC’s Interim President, Geoff Payne, has posted an update regarding classes and the rest of the semester.

You can attribute comments in that message directly to him if you like.

The link to UNBC’s COVID-19 update is below

www.unbc.ca/coronavirus/updates

In summary:

At this time, UNBC is asking faculty and staff to transition classes to alternate delivery models. The last day of face-to-face classes will be Wednesday March 18. This self-imposed date may move earlier but it will not move later. We will complete the semester, including assessments and exams, using alternative service delivery models.

UNBC campus remains open. Services such as the library, food services, Northern Sport Centre, and student housing will remain open. Some service levels may need to be changed, or have already changed (such as food services) in order to support public health.

Tips for handling and preventing the spread of COVID-19

  • Pay close attention to advice coming from public health agencies.

  • As outlined in BC Centre for Disease Control guidelines, wash your hands regularly.

  • Avoid touching your face.

  • Cover your mouth and nose when you cough, and cough into your elbow.

  • Avoid traditional greetings, such as handshakes or hugs.

  • Practice social distancing – keep your distance from other people when practical.

  • Those with pre-existing medical conditions should work with their supervisor and human resources to develop plans.

Hello CFUR Community!

Kristen Kieta and Jeremy Morris have started a new show about life within the spheres of research and community at UNBC. We’re two graduate students interested in learning more about the goings on at UNBC so we’re broadcasting out curiosity on the airwaves. Ever wonder what field and lab research really looks like? Want to find out more about what life is like for a student, research assistant or professor? Come with us as we interview members from all ends of the UNBC community and beyond about who they are, what they do and hear cool stories and facts.

Our first three episodes are now online. Hear our interviews on glaciology with Phd Candidate Ben Pelto, human geography with Dr. Zoë Meletis, and coho salmon with MSc Candidate Luc Turcotte.


A Message from UNBC: Novel Coronavirus

UNBC takes the safety and security of its community both in Canada and abroad very seriously and actively reviews its infectious disease protocols.  On Jan. 28, 2020 the Provincial Health Officer confirmed BC’s first presumptive case of the coronavirus.

There have been no reported cases of Novel Coronavirus in northern B.C. and UNBC does not currently have any exchange students in affected areas.

Cold and flu season is upon us, so it is not unusual for people to get colds and flu this time of year. Please follow the usual health precautions to prevent the spread of illness, including proper cough and sneeze etiquette.

For more information

the following webpage has been created concerning this virus:

(An Aside: To tie this Novel Corona Virus into Northern BC Arts & Culture, perhaps check out this 2018 interview with author Eden Robinson, former writer in residence at UNBC, where she mentions her fascination with the coronavirus :O )
