2024 Yvonne Thompson Page Co-op Student of the Year
"Without my co-op experience, I may not have discovered my passion for arts programming and education, and wouldnt have met the individuals who would stoke my confidence into a roaring fire and thereby enable me to fulfill my potential.
This award will help me beyond measure in achieving my education goals and opening many doors for my future."
- Ray Nufer, Diploma in Visual Arts, Completed co-op work term at the Maritime Museum of British Columbia
2024 Co-op Employer of the Year
Co-op students have always been close to my heart. Having once been in their shoes, I remember how much of a difference strong mentorship made for me. At CNB, we take pride in helping students get the right start because those first few lessons and early work experiences really do shape the path ahead. Its incredibly rewarding to help ignite that same excitement and confidence in the next generation."
