Moose FM CHMT 93.1 - Timmins

What do you think about having an affiliate Timmins University? Well that question is seriously being considered and in response to a letter recommending Timmins be a location for a new undergraduate campus, Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities, Glen Murray says they will consider it, but nothing is locked down yet. In 2011, the province announced the intent to develop three new undergraduate campuses, in the Throne Speech. As it stands, a policy statement is being drawn up and pending government direction, a transparent process will be put in place to guide the selection and pre-requisites needed from communities. So does Timmins stand a good chance? We’ll soon see.
