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.
Signing this petition is taking a stance in supporting the continuation of VillageNow.net.
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.
