Williams Lake Council members recently voted to demonstrate their opposition to a potential closure of Thompson Rivers University’s Williams Lake Campus, according to the Williams Lake Tribune. Members signaled their opposition in a recently-ratified poll about the closure. Williams Lake Mayor Surinderpal Rathor said that the city plans to work with TRU on a “very aggressive” campaign and networking strategy to support the campus’ viability. Councillors Sheila Boehm and Angie Delainey also called for a plan to engage other institutions to replace TRU in the event of the closure. TRU’s Board of Governors is anticipated to make a decision on the closure at its next meeting on June 19.
