Petition to Save Communication Education in BC

The Applied Communication Program at Camosun has been around for 40 years. ACP graduates can be found in virtually every radio and television station, newspaper, public relations firm, and production facility on the island.

Hundreds of communication professionals working through BC and across Canada got their start in ACP at Camosun.
Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto has it wrong when she recently asked “Do we need communications people in B.C.?” 

Please, sign this petition to say YES, WE NEED communication people in BC!

Petition to SAVE the Village

Born in 1973 as the closed-circuit CAMO Radio, Camosun College's radio tradition has been heard live throughout Southern Vancouver Island as both an AM and an FM radio station, and even across the world online as VillageNow.net. The station has provided international news from the BBC and top-quality syndicated broadcasts like Woodsongs, The State We're In, Earthbeat and the Putomayo World Music Hour. 

Perhaps most importantly, the station has educated students in the Applied Communication Program with hands-on training—and those students not only hone their skills in radio communication, but also deliver local news, events, weather, ferries and traffic updates and much more to local and international listeners. 

VillageNow.net is operated by the non-profit CKMO Radio society out of Camosun College, Victoria, B.C. It is the only place for Applied Communication Program students to acquire experience of being on air.
Signing this petition is taking a stance in supporting the continuation of VillageNow.net.
