Smithers: A campus for everyone At the Smithers campus, there are a lot of things to smile about. From the beautiful mountain range hovering over the town to the warmth of the sun that fills the building through the large glass windows, and all the students making their dreams come true.

For Titi Kunkel, the dean of instruction in Arts, Science and Health at Smithers, it’s the best place in the world to be.

“The energy of the place, it’s very vibrant. Smithers is a very outdoorsy and close-knit community so they’re already buzzing from everything this town has to offer,” Kunkel says.

“When students come in, they’re super engaged and eager to participate in the classes, and all the interesting activities that our coordinators arrange.”

Kunkel says the Smithers campus is a blend of local, Indigenous and international students, who come to study from as far as India and the Philippines. For her, having students of different backgrounds learn about one another and create friendships is a valuable educational opportunity beyond the classroom.

“We really represent the community that we serve. In Smithers we have all these nations living here and that’s the tapestry of this town,” she says, adding she herself grew up in West Africa before moving to Canada.

“And the diversity of our staff matches the diversity of students... it’s just a wonderful atmosphere.”

When it comes to getting to know their students, Kunkel says everyone knows each other’s name.

As it is a small campus, this allows students to have more one-on-one time with their instructors and the chance to create a better bond with their classmates.

“It all feels very personable here because you’re not just walking through a hallway of people — you’re amongst friends.”

Kunkel says Smithers is a very charming town that holds lots of festivals and art events, where many students take part of after class.

The big highlight of living in Smithers though, is the natural beauty of the place.

“There’s four seasons here to keep you engaged all year-long. We have hiking, fishing, snowmobiling, camping, and so on. There are just so many lakes and trails here, it’s unbelievable,” she says.

With the great outdoors, comes adventure and experiential place-based learning — which is the basis of CMTN’s educational approach.

“Whichever program that you’re a part of here, there are lots of pathways in our community and beyond for students to move up in their career by having this hands-on learning,” she says.

“This really is the place to be.”

New student housing: Creating a home away from home Working as a First Nations Access Coordinator, Jillian Stephens has her hands full when it comes to running cultural programs and supporting students at Coast Mountain College.

But when the opportunity came up to help curate a theme for the interior aesthetic of new student accommodation on the Terrace campus, she just couldn’t say no. For her, this new building is an opportunity for the College to make the right impression on its students and visitors.

“The general theme for the building is based on Indigenous functions, we’re answering the call to action to build student capacity with intercultural understanding and mutual respect,” she explains.

“Being the school of choice for place-based experiences, we wanted that feeling to be imbedded from the start for a student with housing, by creating that home away from home feeling and building that connection.”

The new student housing building replaces the 40-year-old-buildings on campus following an $18.7 million investment from the province. It houses a large cultural space, 108 student rooms, two hotel suites, an elder suite, two shared kitchens, two collaboration areas, a computer lab, an E-sports room, two shared kitchens and bike storage.

“It looks just as big as it sounds. It's beautiful, spacious and it's welcoming,” Stephens says.

After many months of planning, Stephens and the housing team bring the building to life with the beauty of the rugged landscape of the Northwest and the distinct cultural aspects of the surrounding First Nations territories. Stephens says overall, the incredible mountains here are what attract us and make this place home. Embarking from that frame of reference, each floor and wing is to illustrate a different aspect of the trail-walking experience outdoors.

"We combine different types of people coming together in one space. From those who grew up here to those who just immigrated into Canada,” she says.

“We know how difficult it is for First Nations students leaving their community, so we wanted to have aspects of their home here to lower their anxieties... but we also wanted it to be an experiential piece for international students so they can still experience the North even when they can’t be outside all the time.”

“We didn't want students to just have a pillow and a bed to sleep on between their studies, we wanted them to have a home,” she says.

“And creating all of this is so important because we're not only investing into their education, we're investing into their lives.”

Alicia Giang: Studying closer to family When Coast Mountain College acceptance letter came in for Alicia Giang to study at the Prince Rupert campus, her entire family celebrated.

Growing up in a single-parent household, she felt a sense of responsibility as the eldest to take care of her two younger brothers while her mom juggled jobs to support them all. Giang couldn’t imagine leaving them behind — she was thrilled to attend Coast Mountain College in her hometown.

“It was just a really good idea for me to be at home so I could take care of my brothers and help with anything that needed to be done around the house,” Giang says.

“Plus being with family, I was able to also get the mental support I needed going through post- secondary.”

With the campus only a short walk away from her home, Giang says staying home to pursue her first two years of an arts associate degree was the best decision she ever made.

But being close to home wasn’t Coast Mountain College’s only appeal. She says attending a smaller college made the transition into post-secondary easy, where she grew more confident in her abilities and place in the world.

From the first day on, Giang was surprised by how small and interactive all her classes were. Some courses only had a handful of other students, making it feel more like a gathering of friends. She knew everyone by name and always felt supported by her peers.

“Whenever you saw someone in the hallway, you always had a little conversation with them,” she says. “There was a feeling of being connected, cared for and looked after.”

Oftentimes after class, Giang would stick around to chat with her professors about life. She says her professors were all down to earth and it showed they cared about the well-being of their students.

These interactions, she says, taught her valuable perspective that could never be liberated through a textbook.

“A lot of professors were there emotionally, they understood that college is stressful... and that I’m not just the only one that’s struggling,” she says.

Looking back, Giang says her most memorable times at Coast Mountain College were all the different field trips she went on throughout her courses. From biology to psychology, she experienced her studies hands-on and even years later, still remembers those lessons vividly.

“Being able to learn and explore more of the city that I was born in was absolutely amazing... it made me feel really proud of being born in Prince Rupert, that people from other cities came to enjoy our nature, our ocean and came here to get an education out of it as well.”

Charlie Bourque: To learn is an adventure When Charlie Bourque left her home province of Quebec at 19 years old, she was in search of an adventure. Chasing mountains and rivers, she accepted a job in Prince Rupert without knowing anything about northern B.C. and drove until she reached the Pacific Ocean.

Head over heels with all the outdoor adventures she could grasp onto, Bourque grew curious of the landscapes around her. While skiing at Shames Mountain she met Gordon Weary, a professor at Coast Mountain College. They discussed environmental geoscience courses at CMTN. Hearing about the hands-on learning and field trips, she felt a strong pull to apply.

“I initially took a field school with CMTN to try it out and I was surprised with how much I enjoyed learning, so I decided I would try the College program,” Bourque says, adding she then enrolled into the associate degree in science program specializing in environmental geoscience.

“When I moved to Terrace, I realized I could transfer college credits to finish my bachelor degree at the University of British Columbia (UNBC). It was incredible that I could do all my schooling here while still being so close to the outdoors.”

Bourque says she was surprised with how little time she spent in a traditional classroom setting at Coast Mountain College. Many labs were set outside, rain or shine, where instructors taught subjects hands-on. She grasped onto complex topics immediately and believes that learning from a textbook wouldn’t have been so effective.

“Terrace has such an amazing history when it comes to how the landforms were created, from the glaciers to the vegetation,” she says.

“Not growing up here, I was blown away by how diverse the rainforest and ocean could be…

Seeing it upfront really expanded my knowledge of it all.”

Excited with school, Bourque took advantage of CMTN’s field schools to fast track her courses while going on multi-day expeditions. She travelled to places like Haida Gwaii and Alaska to learn about the environment while making lifelong friendships.

“On these trips, we were always camping, eating and learning together so we felt comfortable asking any crazy questions we came up with. We had a different relationship with our instructors that we normally wouldn’t experience in the classroom, they were super genuine and personable,” says Bourque.

“You become more interested in what everyone has to say, and you crave a deeper connection to fully understand what you’re learning... I came because I wanted to be closer to the mountains and ocean, but I didn’t expect to stay here because of how amazing the people are out here.”

Chevy Alexander: Bringing the textbook to life Spending days outside on the water, taking countless marine samples and camping on a rugged island was not what Chevy Alexander expected when she enrolled in the Applied Coastal Ecology (ACE) program at Coast Mountain College — it was better.

Growing up in Sooke, B.C., Alexander was always curious about the thousands of species that surrounded her. She wanted to learn more about this marine universe and when she found out about the field school experience, she knew it was where she needed to be.

“I chose Coast Mountain College because all the courses have a very hands-on aspect to them that you can’t find anywhere else,” she says, adding she moved to Prince Rupert for college.

“I feel that being so close to the ocean here, you have the opportunity to go out in the boat and learn about these species and everything on the coastline that you wouldn’t get at a different school. It’s a really unique experience.”

For Alexander, her goal is to work for Oceans and Fisheries or Environment Canada once she completes her education. With a few field schools behind her, she feels prepared to take on a job in the industry.

“The College is doing a really good job of building student confidence and giving us the tools necessary to go out and excel in this field of work.

“Everyone here from the instructors to the students have such an open mind and a good attitude, which really helps you grow and gain that confidence.”

Living in Prince Rupert, Alexander says the area itself has really heightened her interaction with the environment.

After school, she often finds herself going on hikes and exploring the outdoors where she’s able to identify organisms she learned about in class earlier.

“One of my favourite parts here is going up Hayes Mountain where you have a gorgeous view above the trees and you can see the ocean. It’s just such a welcoming and friendly community too,” Alexander says with a smile.

“For anybody who is thinking of going for an ACE diploma, I say go for it. Everyone here just wants to see you succeed.”

Fine Arts at Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art brings all nations together in the pursuit of higher education and sets new standards for aspiring artists.

Coast Mountain College created the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art to honour, recognize and continue the legacy of Haida artist Freda Diesing. She was a master carver, painter, tireless educator and champion of First Nations art and culture.

Develop solid foundations in First Nations Northwest Coast Art, by learning and practicing traditional art forms alongside master artists and instructors.

This is the only school of its kind in Canada that focuses on traditional First Nations Pacific Northwest Coast art.

Stan Bevan & Nathan Wilson: Passing the torch Amongst the hustle of this booming northern town, sits a school overlooking the valley where history can be found in its making.

At the Freda Diesing School of Northwest Coast Art, located on the Coast Mountain College campus in Terrace and traditional Ts’ymsyan territory, First Nations artists of all ages come to learn traditional north coast art.

“We aren’t just educating ourselves, we’re educating the world,” says instructor and co-founder Stan Bevan, of Ts’ymsyan and Tahltan-Tlingit heritage.

“People are beginning to see who we are and not only through our past, but our present and future.”

Bevan co-founded the school in 2006 alongside famous artists Ken McNeil and Dempsey Bob. The Freda Diesing School, named after the Haida artist and carver, has since flourished in a direction beyond their imagination but as time tallies up quickly, they realize their legacy must continue without them — the torch must be passed on.

Enter Nathan Wilson and his wife Nakkita Trimble, and recently joined Stephanie Anderson, the next wave of instructors to lead the way. As former students and successful artists, Bevan says he is confident that they will propel their school to new heights.

“Northern artists are very strongly rooted... and Terrace is the hub for surrounding communities to come together and share their ideas, stories and art [so I wanted to be here]. We all lift each other up,” Wilson says.

Enrolling in the program in 2010, Wilson fully immersed himself into his art and went on to exhibit in an array of shows, a trailblazer in creating unconventional pieces. Trimble came through in 2013 after graduating with her Bachelor Fine Arts and became a force in rejuvenating the almost-lost Nisga’a tattooing practices.

When the talented duo came together, Terrace became home as they started a family. Their dedication and craftsmanship remained infallible, and the founders knew the two embodied what they were looking for and more. The art world rejoiced when they started teaching at Freda Diesing, marking a new chapter for the school.

“Nowadays, we need the arts more than ever. If an artist can make somebody just stop for a few minutes to admire an art piece or to reconnect with their heritage, that’s the ultimate goal,” he says.

“Identity is such a big part for people... dipping a paintbrush to create an image can have an incredible impact on a young person just trying to find direction in life and make their way home.”

Kyle Hawyes: A school project in the real world When Kyle Hawyes enrolled at Coast Mountain College, he never pictured himself designing a board game that would be sold on Amazon and used in classrooms across the country.

As a first-year business administration student, Hawyes’ studious perspective towards school was quickly challenged when he was assigned a special kind of project in his business ethics course. Through an experiential learning platform called Riipen, which connects schools to businesses to offer students real life experiences, he was exposed to a real-life problem.

His class was connected with the Unique Get Together Society, a non-profit based in B.C. dedicated to empowering Indigenous and underserved communities, to come up with marketing strategies to help the organization educate the public about discrimination and other social inequalities.

“It was a very open-ended project that we got, our teacher gave us the reins to do whatever we wanted so we could use the best of our abilities,” Hawyes explains.

“It’s a very difficult topic to talk about and it can be a very touchy subject... I know I like to learn things through games, and I thought other people would benefit learning about such a hard topic through a fun memory game.”

Hawyes says many of his peers approached the assignment by creating PowerPoint presentations and designing infographics but he knew this was his opportunity to bring his work to another level. Tackling the project on his own, he was eager to make his board game stand out.

“I spent probably around 20 hours just creating different prototypes for this game... I then started designing the cards and box on InDesign, which was really cool to bring my graphic skills into this class,” he says.

After working with Debra Abraham, the CEO and founder of Unique Get Together Society, Hawyes says he’s become more conscious of discrimination in different areas of his life and sees it even more visibly from a business standpoint. He adds it was her enthusiasm for her work that really pushed him to do his best.

“A lot of it stemmed from what Deborah stands for, she makes such a huge impact on people’s lives. It was such an honour to work with her and learn from someone making a positive difference in the field,” Hawyes says.

“I think so many of our eyes have been opened by this hands-on experience... it’s really boosted my passion for learning and to make this world a better place.”

Sue Cavanaugh: Stepping into the spotlight They say life is all a stage and for Sue Cavanaugh, that line couldn’t be truer.

With a warm, outgoing and bubbly personality, Cavanaugh naturally gravitated towards theatre in her youth. From Toronto to the Yukon, she performed in countless venues across the country for years but when she couldn’t find work living in Kelowna, she decided to take on a different role and became a Health Care Assistant (HCA).

For nearly a decade, Cavanaugh worked as an HCA throughout Interior Health and Vancouver Island Health before moving to Kitimat almost five years ago. Here, she continued at the Kitimat General Hospital and other health centres but after so many years in the job, she was eager for a scene change. She decided to pursue the nursing program at Coast Mountain College in Terrace at 38 years old.

“I would get so many comments at work telling me I would make an excellent nurse because I love people so much... and Heath Care Assistants are the first eyes for a nurse so we do a lot of similar groundwork,” she explains.

“I was always wanting to do further patient assessments, to learn about their medical histories and where they’re from, which made me want to excel further to better provide for them.”

Cavanaugh says going back to school was daunting as she first needed to upgrade her high school courses to qualify for nursing, making the journey ahead appear long. She continued onwards while still working and raising a family but says everyone in the CMTN community has given her the determination to keep going.

From study groups to carpooling with peers from Kitimat to Terrace, Cavanaugh says her nursing program quickly became a closely knit group of friends who uplift each other to this day.

“After class, we would all regularly go down to the library for our study groups that we formed and make flashcards to test each other on our lessons,” she says.

“I credit most of my success to those times, everyone would come up with different flashcards that I’d never even thought of and because it was so much fun, learning became so easy.”

She says another surprising draw of the program has been how interactive her classes are. Whenever there were complex concepts to learn, the instructors would think of creative ways to explain them.

“They would turn their lectures into games, I remember once in biology we were studying cell regeneration so they made a huge board game in class that we walked through to learn all about it.”

With graduation in sight and a summer position as a student nurse under her belt, Cavanaugh can’t wait for her first official day on the job.

“You’re never stop learning when you’re working with patients, you get to know them and hear all about their lives — it’s very rewarding,” Cavanaugh says.

“I just hope that I can brighten their days even when they’re down, to remind everyone how amazing life can be and that we all have to help one another.”

West Coast Culinary: Introducing First Nations cuisine to the table From rivers filled with oolichan and salmon to trails lined with shrubs of all kinds of berries, this region is rich with food that the First Nations people have been living off for centuries.

Traditional knowledge of how to harvest, prepare and serve from the wild is in an era of revival that is now being shared with Coast Mountain College through the new two-year West Coast Culinary Diploma.

“There’s such a high demand for First Nations foods across the country but there’s barely any restaurants or institutions offering it yet,” says program co-creator, and Professional Cook Instructor and Coordinator Darlene Godfrey.

“Many people are talking about how to get traditional foods into institutions such as hospitals or school cafeterias where people are away from home and looking for their comfort foods... and there’s also a big curiosity around the world to try this food.”

She predicts First Nations cuisine will be the new food trend in the near future. So far, CMTN is the only institution in B.C. to provide such a unique program.

Working with CMTN instructor Brad Vennard, Godfrey says this program’s curriculum took years to create and to establish genuine Indigenous connections in the region. As part of the course work, students are introduced to First Nation practices by helping local communities with their annual harvests.

“We immerse our students with the culture and traditions by assisting the community through labour-intensive work... They go work in the smokehouse, out in the mountain to help hunt, fish for salmon and so on,” she explains.

“The intent of the program is to assist communities, not take away their food source. It’s a delicate process that involves elders and knowledge keepers, who will also provide guidance in our classes.”

Godfrey says she’s looking forward to teaching students about the importance of food sustainability and using local products. By immersing themselves in First Nations cuisine, she wants students to learn how to be creative with seasonal ingredients.

“There are lots of barriers that we have to knock down to teach students how to properly prepare this cuisine,” she says, adding she hopes that the hands-on process will help students gain a greater cultural understanding of the region and the world.

“Food is such an emotional experience for so many people, it doesn’t matter where you are... When we all sit down for a meal and talk, we see each other as human beings. Food brings us together.”

Verginia Johnson: Never too old to learn When Verginia Johnson decided to go back to school, it had been decades since she sat inside a classroom. At 53 years old, she was inspired by her youngest son to take control of her life.

She had been working towards a job in early childhood education when her health took a turn and halted her from any physical labour, resulting in nine years with no job. Her son was working towards his Red Seal in a trades program to open his own contracting business and asked Johnson to help run it.

With his encouragement and support from friends, she enrolled into the Career & College Preparation (CCP) Certificate program at Coast Mountain College in Hazelton to get her BC Adult Graduation Diploma so she could be qualified.

“I had become this visibly grumpy housewife and had thought about upgrading to get my grade 12 year done for a while,” Johnson says.

“I used to tell my kids that you’re never too old to learn and now it was time for me to finally take my own advice.”

For months, she pushed herself to learn as they planned for the future ahead. The pandemic hit and she did her best adjusting to virtual classes, but she was not prepared when tragedy struck in May 2020.

Just one week away from receiving his certifications, Johnson’s son was killed in a car accident.

She says she was just coming to terms after losing her two other children, sister and mother all in the last couple of years, and felt she was back at rock bottom again. Taking time off school to grieve, she was hesitant to go back but her son left behind two boys and knew she had to be a strong role model.

“I realized that if I quit now, then my grandkids would look at me and think it was okay for them to quit school too,” Johnson says.

“I told them this all sucks but we have to keep moving, it’s our only choice.”

She resumed her studies the following fall. Johnson says her instructors were very understanding and helped support her through this difficult time. When Tricorp opened their Aboriginal Canadian Entrepreneurs (ACE) program, Johnson applied and was accepted. Now alongside her classes, she is learning how to run a business as she inches closer towards receiving her Dogwood Diploma.

For Johnson, the most inspiring part about going back to school has been getting to know classmates from all ages who also have faced many struggles. The College has given her a new sense of confidence.

“It’s great, I always thought this was the end when I stopped working... but it makes me happy to see so many of us go back to learn and pursue what we want to achieve,” she says, adding she wants to work again so she can help her son’s family financially.

But amongst all the peer support at school, Johnson says her biggest fans have been her grandchildren.

Homework night has become an event she partakes in regularly where they talk about their lessons and help solve each other’s math problems.

“We talk about how far education will take you... and then my grandkids tell me they believe in me and are proud of me,” she says with a smile.

“They tell all their friends that I’m the cool grandma who goes to school.”
