PRINCE GEORGE – The College of New Caledonia has had to make some difficult decisions to balance its budget in light of a $7.1 million deficit.

In a release from the College, it noted:

“To ensure a balanced budget, CNC will strategically align planned expenses with expected revenue, maximizing the provincial operating grant to support college-wide activities and services previously supported by international tuition revenue.”

The deficit comes as the result of losing a number of international students.
