West Shore educational campus partners promise to consider naming new campus after late BC Premier Horgan

An online post proposing the name “John Horgan University” for the collaborative educational campus under construction in Langford has reportedly gone viral, drawing thousands of views and interactions on social media. Shortly after the announcement of the passing of former Government of British Columbia Premier John Horgan, a community member in Langford created a post proposing the name for the campus. The partners developing the campus–BC, Camosun College, Royal Roads University, and the University of Victoria–told CTV News that Horgan was “instrumental” in making the campus possible and indicated that they would “take this heartfelt sentiment into consideration.” The collaborative campus is set to open its doors next spring.
