Midcoast Morning

The British Columbia Federation of Students says the province’s post secondary system is in crisis. The organization says that there have been almost 1000 layoffs in the sector since 2023, with 80 programs suspended, paused or cut. Midcoast Morning interviews Cole Reinbold Secretary-Treasurer with the BCFS and Annabree Fairweather, Executive Director of CUFA BC regarding the call for action.
