Weird weather:<\/strong> The January 6, 1997 issue of Nexus<\/em> was delayed release by a week because of what is referred to as the infamous \u201cBlizzard of ’96.\u201d After 64 centimeters of snow in one day, and a total of 124 centimeters over eight days in December 1996, Camosun spent 250 worker hours and $20,000 between the two campuses clearing the snow and preparing for students\u2019 return. Meanwhile, here in the present day, 20 daily temperature records were recently broken in BC for hottest recorded day on December 1, 2021.<\/p>\n

One article suggested an Associate of Arts degree specializing in Global Studies. This idea never came to fruition, but the college now offers both a 100-level and a 200-level course in Global Studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
