- VCC Students Host All Candidates Forum for Vancouver False CreekVancouver –Students invited candidates from the Vancouver False Creek Riding to participate in all candidates forum. The discussion was centered on tuition fees, tankers, and transit. These are three themes that have been prevalent in the Students’ Union voter registration campaign called Rock the Vote. “Students are gearing up for the provincial election.” said Christian Avendano, Federation Representative of the Students Union of Vancouver Community College. “Students’ Unions all across BC have been registering students to vote.” In the last election, only one in four people between the age of 18 and 25 voted. “Over the last couple years you have seen students at the forefront of many grass roots movements that are calling for political change, whether it be the Quebec tuition fee demonstrations, the Occupy Movement or the Idle No More Movement. So we are asking students to take that same passion to the ballot box.” said Avendano. The Rock the Vote campaign has registered thousands of students across the province to vote in the upcoming elections. The Students’ Union of VCC was formed in 1974 to become the representative body of 13,000 students at Vancouver Community College. A member of the Canadian Federation of Students, and an advocate for student rights, the SUVCC has successfully lobbied for, and implemented a standardized and Universal Transit pass for Vancouver Students.? –30– For further details and information, please contact: Nimmi Takkar, Organiser | Students’ Union of VCC 778.846.5424
