BVC reduces staffing in response to projected shortfall of $15.4 M

Bow Valley College is reducing 103 positions as it addresses a projected $15.4M shortfall in its 2025–26 budget, reports CTV News. Of these positions, 97 are currently filled and six are vacant. BVC attributed its budget shortfall to declining international student enrolment and changes to funding for programs such as Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada and the Foundational Learning Assistance Program. “The college had to find efficiencies and make difficult decisions,” read a BVC statement.
