College of New Caledonia launches new Business Administration program for Fall 2026

Amidst a changing educational & economic landscape, the College of New Caledonia (CNC) in Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh has redesigned their Business Management Diploma and is launching the Business Administration Program (BAP) for Fall 2026. The institution revamped the program amidst cuts to the college’s budget, a changing economic environment, and evolving technology in the business world.

Following CNC’s Institutional Research data, the program was identified as worthy of restructuring and avoided cuts in a changing education scenario. Shifting the program’s focus onto domestic students, Muhammad Rahman, Associate Dean of the Business Administration program is optimistic it will meet the demand expressed by local business & students. International students hoping to meet federal eligibility standards to work in Canada after graduating will have to wait for a future assessment to see if the new program qualifies them to do that. For currently working students though, the two year Diploma offers added flexibility of part time, hybrid, and evening study options.

Shane Lake Amphibian Migration project SLAMs stickers across Prince George to raise funds

With the spring melt, Shane Lake amphibians will soon wiggle out of their hiding places. Ashley Sutherland of the Aleeza Lake Research Forest has spearheaded the SLAM project to protect young amphibians from being crushed or otherwise impacted along Prince George’s popular Shane Lake trail system within UNBC’s Land Trust. She’s recently begun an ambitious fundraising project to build boardwalks along parts of the trail system which could cost close to half a million dollars.

Portions of the trail get busy with amphibian activity. Information collected by hired surveyors and community members collectively contributing to the project’s dataset have identified these zones. Underway is phase 2 of the project, which confirms these locations. Phase 3 of the project involves fundraising for a wide sturdy boardwalk which both supports motorized maintenance equipment, and allows toadlets to pass safely underneath. Sutherland has simultaneously begun fundraising and raising awareness by selling SLAM stickers in various Prince George–Lheidli T’enneh locations.
