PRINCE GEORGE – The ribbon was cut today on a new training facility at the College of New Caledonia. The sonography lab is a brand new lab at the college. In fact, it’s only the second publicly-funded program outside of the Lower Mainland.

The Minister of Advanced Education, Skills & Training, Melanie Mark, was on hand for the event and spoke of the partnerships required to make things like this happen.

“A sonography program at CNC will help tackle waitlists while providing the opportunity for northern graduates to succeed and thrive closer to home,” said Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. “By investing in people and creating affordable and accessible education opportunities for in-demand jobs, our government is building a highly skilled, job-ready workforce that will allow everyone to access the services they need to live, work and study. This is a great day for all students in B.C., especially those at CNC.”

The Province spent $1.5 million for the infrastructure and committed $640,000 annually to run the program.
