Event Description

With COVID-19 gathering restrictions having eased compared to last year, the PG Campus will display trees in the Gathering Place, main entrance, and the Canfor Tech student lounge. 

From November 29th until Friday December 17th, please drop off your non-perishable food items in the boxes under the trees (see list below for suggested food items).  All food will go to support students at all campuses via CNCSU.

In lieu of trees, Quesnel will be collecting non-perishable food items and gift cards for the Quesnel CNCSU at Christmas dinner events on December 7 and 9 and offering a donation basket at the SU office.
