The results of the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) elections are in. The elections, which were held online from April 7 to 9, are a chance for Camosun students to get on the CCSS board of directors.

Quinn Cunningham is the new CCSS external executive. Amanda Garner is now the CCSS women’s director, and Savannah Barratt is the new sustainability director. Angela Chou was re-elected as the pride director, and Gurkirat Singh is the new finance executive.

Puneet Kaur is the new Interurban executive, and Sujin Bae is the new off-campus director.

The election also had a referendum question asking if students were in support of raising the CCSS fee levy by $1 a month to go toward funding the Ombudsperson position—which the CCSS and Camosun College both fund—as well as CCSS services such as WalkSafer and general student advocacy. This passed, with a majority of students voting yes. 386 students (69 percent of students who answered the referendum question) voted yes, while 174 (31 percent) voted no. The fee levy is currently $10.80 a month.
