Over the edge is the official
independent publishing media
of students at the University of
Northern British Columbia.

As such, it is our mandate to
report on issues of interest to
students in the Northern Region.
We encourage all students, both
on the main and regional campuses
to submit to Over the Edge.

Over the Edge is part of the
Canadian University Press network
of papers, otherwise known as
CUP.

Cup is an organization that is
entirely owned by member papers,
and provides such services as a
news wire and advertisements to
Over the Edge.

second week during the fall and
winter semesters

The Editor’s Edict:
Well We’re Almost Done...

This is the second last issue of the semester and
with the snow on the ground it isn’t that hard to
believe! Our next issue will be holiday themed so
if you have any holiday stories or recipes that you
would like to share with the campus, please do send
them in!

This issue has lots of great content from the stu-
dent body, which is what we love to see. We have
some great opinion pieces on some very topical
issues and it would be great to receive feedback on
them. Reading what the students at UNBC have to
say about current events and issues whether they
be local or international is always great because it

means that you are no only aware of what is hap-
pening in the world around us, but also engaging
in the debate!

Speaking of what is happening in the world
around us...there is a municipal election currently
underway! If you haven’t noticed all of the placards
and signs throughout the city then you either live
under a rock or are not from Prince George. The of-
ficial voting day is November 19, 2011 but there are
also advanced voting days being held at city hall.
You should definitely check out the City of Prince
George website for more information on both the
candidates and where and when you can vote this

coming Saturday.

While I am not to happy to see that Prince
George has been covered in a thin blanket of snow,
a quick survey of UNBC students would suggest
that I am in the majority. Let’s just hope that all
the new seasonal distractions do not get the best of
you! While midterms may technically be over there
are still final papers and exams to think of! But if
you still want some holiday distraction to get you
through the rest of the semester there are a plethora
of events you can attend.

November 19 — 27 The Festival of Trees @ The Prince George Civic Centre
November 23 The Civic Centre Annual Tree Light Up @ 6pm

December 1 Official opening of “Candy Cane Lane”
