UNBC Young Democrats back in action, with HST (Posted Jan. 16)
After a few years of stagnation within their group, the UNBC Young Democrats have become active again, as exemplified January 15 during a presentation on the HST.
“We want to chip away at youth apathy with regards to politics,” the group’s presidential co-chair Jonathan Van Barneveld said during the HST presentation at UNBC. “We want to get more of a voice on campus. I’m sick of students saying they didn’t want to vote.”
Some issues, Van Barneveld told the fittingly small audience (note the apathy he’d mentioned) are felt strongly about by the NDP and more specifically the UNBC Young Democrats, which will be addressed on campus. The topic at hand January 15 was HST, Van Barneveld explained, due to the fact that it’s to cause a strain on life on all British Columbians, and because it’s to have an effect on the environment. Whereas environmentally-friendly things in the past were PST free in the past, they’re to be included in the HST in the future.

Last Climate Action Monday event held at UNBC (Posted Dec. 5)
Environmental activism was out in full force at UNBC for the last time November 30 before the Climate Conference in Copenhagen from December 6 to 18 was set to begin.
This last Time To Listen climate action Monday event followed the same format as previous such weekly activist meetings wherein a group of people stage something unique and attention-grabbing in the university’s Wintergarden area, followed by everyone calling local politicians urging them to actually do something at the Copenhagen Climate Conference.

Issue of violence against women addressed at UNBC (Posted Dec. 5)
A service honouring the 14 women killed and 28 injured during the École Polytechnique massacre in Montreal on December 6 1989, as well as violence against women in general, was held December 4 at the UNBC campus. Organized by UNBC women’s representative Kara Steel, the event brought in a myriad of interesting speakers who shared their thoughts on violence against women.
UNBC president George Iwama was the first to speak- addressing violence against women in general, as well as what the massacre in Montreal has taught us over the years.
It’s truly a tragedy each time murder or violence against women takes place, he stated.

Is Religion to blame for global warming? (Posted Oct. 18)
Whether or not religious faith is in some way contributing to global warning was the question touched upon October 15 as part of a presentation/discussion hosted the UNBC InterFaith Chaplaincy More Light/Less Heat series.
The presentation was led by UNBC professor Scott Green, a fitting choice for a discussion about the environment, as Green teaches environmental studies and forestry.
“We’re less interested in the right and wrong, but in having a good conversation,” UNBC InterFaith Chaplaincy representative Virginia Lettinga told the crowd in introducing the event.
