Still going strong: The story “Women’s Centre opens” in our September 7, 1993 issue reported that the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) was opening the Women’s Centre on the Lansdowne campus. The centre was then located in the Fisher building; the CCSS still runs the Women’s Centre, which is now located on the main floor of Richmond House.
A dead signal: Back in 1993, Camosun had just received a green light from the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in the form of a campus/instructional FM radio licence for its then-up-and-coming radio station, at the time called CAMO. It was the first such licence to be issued in western Canada. CAMO later turned into AM station CKMO (also known as Village 900) but went off the air in March of 2012.
Have a seat: Our story “Students design furniture for the landscape” in this issue looked at the innovations of Camosun Fine Furniture students in a furniture contest. The college’s Fine Furniture program is still going strong; see our recent story at nexusnewspaper.com about the program’s 30-year anniversary.
