The John Horgan government suggested there would be incentives coming down the pipeline for campuses to increase student housing.
V-I-U’s Carol Desilets says they know there is a shortage of student housing at the Nanaimo campus but, she says, there’s also been some interest in housing for students at the Cowichan campus…..
Desilets says they’ve mostly heard from developers who seem to be sensing there’s a need for student housing here in Duncan too.
