FUNDRAISER – Bangladesh Bound 2011
In May 2011, three Vancouver Community College nursing students (Jessica Schneider , Raymond Li, and Sean Reid) will embark on a journey to Dhaka, Bangladesh. This adventure will expose these nursing students to the harsh conditions in an over-populated and under-funded health care system.
In order to facilitate some financial aid and create an opportunity to provide some important supplies for their training and purpose, a raffle has been started to fundraise for the Vancouver Community College Foundation which is highly supportive of this experience for these VCC students.
Collective Bargaining at VCC
The Students’ Union Board of Directors wish to express our support for the bargaining process and encourage students to check the SUVCC website for regular updates.

20th Annual Women’s Memorial March
Join your Students’ Union and walk together.
February 14th at 1pm, Main and Hastings.
Meet at 12:30pm in Thornton Park by the Main Street/Science World Skytrain Station.
The first women’s memorial march was held in 1991 in response to the murder of a woman on Powell Street in Vancouver. Out of this sense of hoplessness and anger came an annual march on Valentine’s Day to express compassion, community and caring for all women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, Coast Salish Territories.
Please visit the Women’s Memorial March website to find out more.
We hope to see you there!
