Hello, Hadih, Sat Shri Akal, Namaste...I’m Amarpreet Singh, But you can call me Ammy, First year student of Post Graduate Diploma in Tourism and Hostel Management and I’m running for the position of Business and Management Representative for the Student Union. As a student who is passionate about creating a positive, inclusive, and empowering campus experience for everyone and I believe that the voice of every student deserves to be heard. With a commitment to advocating for student needs, fostering harmony, and addressing the issues that matter most to you. I want to work together to create a supportive environment that benefits all students. During my time at CNC, I’ve been actively involved in various student events, where I’ve had the opportunity to connect with fellow students and understand the challenges we face.

If elected, I’ll be ensuring that CNC remains a place where everyone feels supported and valued and making sure that we can continue to thrive as a community both academically and socially. Together, we can create an even stronger CNC experience. I’d be honoured to have your support!!!

I started my academic journey in May 2024. For the last one year, I closely observed the student life on Campus, and I have seen familiar problems students faced throughout the year. Like be it lack of sports activities, stress busting events and academic problems as well. 

With hope of being able to solve these matters, I am running for this position and hoping to receive your support for this election.

Hello, fellow students!

I’m Thomas Robinson, and I’m running for the position of Business and Management Student Union Representative. As a mature student in the Accounting & Finance program, I bring a wealth of life experience and a strong work ethic to everything I do. With previous experience in a supervisor role, I understand the importance of leadership, effective communication, and collaboration—skills I am eager to apply in supporting and advocating for my peers.

Throughout my career and studies, I’ve learned the value of balancing responsibilities, working with diverse groups of people, and fostering positive relationships in both professional and academic settings. I’m passionate about ensuring that every student has the support and resources they need to succeed, and I believe my background gives me a unique perspective to make that happen.

If elected, my goals include:

1. Improving student engagement within the Business and HR departments, creating more opportunities for networking, career development, and social interaction.

2. Advocating for greater resources such as internships, career workshops, and mentorship programs to help students prepare for their future careers.

3. Fostering an inclusive environment where all students feel heard, supported, and empowered to take charge of their educational and personal journeys.

I’m committed to bringing my leadership experience, problem-solving skills, and dedication to our student union, and I’d be honored to represent you.

Together, we can make meaningful changes and build a stronger community for everyone in the program.

Thank you for your support, and I hope to earn your vote!

Hey!

 

My name is Amy and I am an LPN nursing student here at CNC. I have worked in the hospital as a care aide since 2022 post-graduation from the HCAP program!

 

I have always had an interest in advocating for people and strongly believe that the health sciences department needs a voice in our student union. I have seen firsthand how difficult our course load can be and believe that we need someone to voice needs and desires to about our selected programs. I would love for that person to be me and feel I would be perfectly suited for the roll!

Hey I'm Holden.

 

I'm the nerdy, helpful, and familiar trades Rep.

 

I ran last year as there was nobody in the position when I started my semester, and am running again simply to keep it filled, and to continue to offer everything I can to help.

 

I plan to use this term to expand upon my skill set, and bring more awareness and engagement in CNCSU events and resources to us trades students.

Hadih, fellow students!

 

I’m Tanshu, and I’m running to be your University Studies Representative because I believe our voices matter.

As a student myself, I understand the challenges of balancing academics, work, and personal growth. Whether you’re from Arts, Science, Kinesiology, Criminology, or Web & Graphics, I want to ensure that your concerns are heard and acted upon. My motto is to stand for meaningful advocacy, stronger student representation, and a thriving student community—where your voices are heard, and you feel valued as students.

This is my first time stepping into student politics, but I’m stepping up for you. SO, let’s build a stronger student community together!​

Hello,

 

I am Kerry Thomas and I’m running for Upgrading and Access Representative at the Student Union 2025.

 

As someone who is doing Academic Upgrading myself for the past two years, I know it can be challenging especially when you haven’t done school work for years; being away from postsecondary life and doing it again is hard.

 

I’m here to help you navigate through these problems, as I’ve learned from my own experiences. If there’s any questions you have I will help with the best of my abilities.

 

Thank you.

Hello, my name is Calder Azak,

 

I am 28 years old,and I was born in Terrace B.C, I am from the Nisga’a community of Gitwinksihlkw which is roughly an hour and a half north of Terrace. I was living in Gitwinksihlkw till I was about 5 years old then moved to the Gitxsan territory to a community called Glen Vowell formally known as Sik-E-Dakh. I was there till I was about 13 years old then moved back to Terrace till just recently.

 

Now I am living here in Prince George to pursue my education and to further my career in hopes to become a biologist. I spend most of my time in the aboriginal resource centre working on my schoolwork. I am also part of the CNC drumming group, and I also like to attend most of the events that happen in the ARC whether it be rattle making, making dream catchers or creating an indigenous choker necklace. Along with sharing a great meal every month at the potluck.

 

I also like to help the people who come to the ARC to the best of my ability. Or even just to chat about your progress with your studies. And if I cannot help there are great workers that could definitely help with whatever it may be.

Namaste, Sat Shri Akal, Hola, Hadih!

​

Over the year, wearing that wooden Pride Students Representative tag, I have heard it all—comments, criticism, even jokes. Some say, “It’s just for fun” or objectify it as just a title. But what they don’t see is the love, respect, and admiration I have received—just because of the students who made this role meaningful. Not just from CNCSU or CNC, but from students across cultures and countries on this campus. And not for a single day have I forgotten—I am, first and foremost, the Pride Students Representative of CNCSU’ 

This year, we’ve made great stride- securing safe spaces for Pride and Women students.

 

But there’s still work to do. We need stronger policies, better support, and a campus where every student feels valued— before any label—gay, trans, lesbian, international, or domestic—we are humans first. Labels don’t define us; our dreams, struggles, and the courage to build a better future do.

​

Let’s keep the progress going. Vote for love, Vote for respect, Vote for unity but most importantly, vote for Varun Kumar.​​​​​

Hi!

I'm Gurwinder Kaur, and I am running to be the next Women's Representative to create a campus where women feel confident, empowered, and heard. As a dedicated Community Lead I have worked to uplift and unite all demographics. I believe in promoting true feminism, which includes men as allies to drive meaningful change.

 

If elected, I will advocate against body shaming by promoting self-acceptance and encourage women to take on more leadership roles.

Remember, Your vote is your voice.
