To celebrate Pride Month, CNC has unveiled a rainbow crosswalk at the PG campus!

“Inclusive campuses are healthy campuses,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training.

“The new rainbow crossing at the College of New Caledonia sends a strong message to students, staff, faculty and visitors that everyone is welcome, that they belong and that they are safe.”

The rainbow crosswalk stands as a symbol of acceptance and inclusivity aimed at LGBTQ communities across the world and will be located at the main entrance.

“CNC is an inclusive institution welcoming all people,” said Alyson Gourley-Cramer, Executive Director Communications at CNC. “We are proud to have this rainbow crosswalk as a representation of the values of inclusivity and diversity CNC upholds.”

The CNC Student Union worked hard to create an accepting community by working in collaboration with B.C. Federation of Students through their Unlearn campaign.

“This rainbow walk is a visual representation of the vastly diverse community of students that attend CNC,” said Michelle Frechette, CNCSU Student Representative. “We are excited for the walk to brighten up our campus and show all who come what the College stands for.”

CNC will also be flying the pride flag during the week of July 7 to coincide with Pride Week in PG.
