Simpcw Chief will be TRU's third chancellor Jennifer Will NEWS EDITOR Ω TRU welcomes its third chancellor since introducing the role back in 2004. Simpcw Chief Nathan Matthew will fill the position starting in March. The announcement was made on Feb. 2 in the Mountain Room by Jim Thomson, the board chair for TRU’s Board of Governors. Thomson introduced Matthew to
the crowd as a great asset for the university and the perfect fit for the position. “He’s a leader in local, provincial and national circles for his advocacy for quality Aboriginal education. Nathan was TRU’s first executive director of Aboriginal Education from 2006 to 2014. His service with community and education span more than three decades and for this has been recognized multiple times,” Thomson said.
Matthew is Chief of the Simpcw First Nation of Chu Chua near Barriere, a position he has held for more than 20 years. In addition to being TRU’s first executive director of aboriginal education, TRU awarded Matthew with an honorary doctorate of letters in 2006.

TRU's next Chancellor to be appointed March 1 CONTINUED (COVER) “We are thrilled to have someone with Matthew’s background take such an important role,” said TRU president Alan Shaver in a press release. “The individual holding the honorary position of chancellor is a reflection of the university’s values at the highest level.” In addition to his work with
TRU, Matthew been a member of the Assembly of First Nations Chiefs Committee on Education and an education consultant throughout B.C. Matthew’s appointment to the position will be effective March 1, with a formal installation to occur during convocation ceremonies on June 6. The Thompson Rivers
University Act states that chancellors serve three-year terms and will serve no more than six years. Wally Oppal, the university’s current chancellor, has held the position for over seven years since 2010. Oppal’s term was extended to allow for the search of TRU’s next chancellor. Oppal was a retired B.C. Supreme Court justice who
succeeded TRU’s first chancellor, Sen. Nancy Greene Raine, who held the position from 2004 to 2010. The role of a university chancellor is to serve as a member on both the school’s board of governors and senate. The chancellor also presides at convocation and confers all degrees. Matthew said that he was
happy to accept this volunteer position and he hopes to bring his experience of Aboriginal education and inclusion to the table. “It truly is an honour,” Matthew said. “It would be so great if my grandparents could be here. Things like this just weren’t even contemplated or thought about a number of years ago.”
TRUSU honoraria policy to reflect B.C. minimum wage TRUSU’s honoraria will match B.C.’s minimum wage as part of their commitment to the Fight for 15 campaign Jennifer Will NEWS EDITOR Ω
At last year's TRUSU AGM, students posed questions to the union on why they fight for a $15 minimum wage, yet only pay $11/ hour. (FILE PHOTO)
TRUSU’s campaign, Fight for 15, raised a lot of questions at last year’s Annual General Meeting. The main question being, how can they only pay $11 per hour to their members when they are fighting for a $15 per hour minimum wage? On Jan. 24 TRUSU hosted this year’s AGM and on the agenda was a special resolution to change its honoraria policy. The honoraria policy, that was amended back in 2015, states executive members, advocacy representatives and directors-at-large were to be paid a flat rate of $11 per
hour. As the special resolution was passed at the AGM, it means that members will now be paid whatever the province’s current minimum wage is. Tatiana Gilbert, TRUSU’s president, says that this change is line with the unions commitment to a $15 per hour minimum wage. “It’s not really a matter of if it will get changed, it’s a matter of when,” Gilbert said. One concern that came with this change was the feasibility if the minimum wage were to raise to $20 per hour or more. “I’m sure if it were to go to that level, we would take some great consideration because that is quite a hike from the current minimum
wage,” Gilbert said. Gilbert says that having the policy in line with the B.C. minimum wage is not only a great incentive for students who may be considering running in the upcoming election but also fairer for current members. “A lot of student representatives who decide to run in the election sometimes, myself included, working for the Student’s Union is the only job you’ll have. A lot of students depend on their honoraria for paying rent or getting groceries or paying tuition,” Gilbert said. The new policy also reduced the maximum hours that executive members can work per bi-weekly period from 50 hours to 40 hours.

TRU joins the conversation on mental health TRU community gathered outside of Old Main to roast marshmallows and to discuss mental health Justin Moore CONTRIBUTOR Ω Blue hats topped the heads of many TRU students on January 31st as the University hosted events for the eighth annual Bell Let’s Talk Day. While most gathered outside of Old Main to roast marshmallows by the campfire and sign a large Bell Let’s Talk poster, others stayed inside to talk with Wellness Centre representatives and other students about the issues surrounding mental health. With Bell’s annual awareness event seeing more interaction every year with the number of messages of support in 2017 being over 138,000,000 compared to 2016’s roughly 125,000,000, the local TRU community felt especially proud to participate in the cause. “I think the conversations around mental health are really important,” spoke Meaghan Hagerty, a student case manager at the Wellness Centre. “It’s something that affects every person in Canada either directly or indirectly. Being able
to have an open, non-judgmental dialogue around it is beneficial to everyone.” TRU students were actively engaged in the conversation, enjoying free coffee, picking through buttons and making emoji faces to tweet, as well as opening up about their experiences with one another. “In this world, we just have to show appreciation towards each other,” said Richard Abankwa who was energetically drawing people towards the campfire to support the event. While Bell Let’s Talk only happens once per year, the conversation regarding mental health is still open at TRU. “On campus here for students there is the Wellness Centre,” Hagerty continued, “We look at what kind of support students need and how we can connect them into that support.” “There are peer mentors who are trained to be able to chat with folks and refer to resources in the community. There are counselling services, we have student case management for more complex needs or ongoing mental health concerns,” Hagerty said.

TRU hosts fourth annual Privacy and Security Conference This year’s conference largely focused on the risk associated with living in a digital world Nyasha Mukakati CONTRIBUTOR Ω Last Wednesday, TRU hosted the fourth Annual Privacy Information Security Conference in the TRU Campus Activity Centre. According to Hugh Burley, TRU’s manager of information security, the event saw around 220 students and community members in attendance. Compared to last year, Burley says he’s happy with the overall outcome of the event. “This year was a little bigger than last year and I think vendor and interpersonal engagement was a little better as well,” Burley said. “The content was a little stronger on Privacy but overall a good mix of content and I would say it was very successful.” The theme for this years was Privacy and Security in the Digital Organization. TRU law professor, Craig E. Jones, focused his conversation on the legalities and implications that encompass the online world in terms of privacy and security. Specifically, Jones focused on libel in social media, saying that in today’s age everyone must be careful with what they post online. “What is social media but defamation,” Jones said. “There isn’t a lot that is said on Facebook these days that isn’t defamatory in one way or another. You can be liable for you posts and you can be liable for posts on your wall.” Another TRU professor, Musfiq Rahman touched on the vulnerability of mobile devices in an increasing digital era. According to Rahman, cell phones and tablets are driving an increasing number of cyber crimes. “Stolen identities, data breaches, loss of privacy are just some of the consequences of widespread use of mobile devices,” Rahman
Over 200 attedants from TRU and the Kamloops community listened to speakers and interacted with vendors at the conference. (Wade Tomko/Ω) said. “One of the challenges with mobile devices is that they aren’t as physically secure as a laptop or desktop. It is easy to forget your phone somewhere, or it’s easy for someone to steal your phone.” Before the conference broke for lunch, a panel was held to discuss TRU’s digital campus. They spoke of the university's digital strategies that includes faculty in digital research, smart spaces, student experience and success resulting from digitalization. Burley led the panel, which included Michael Barr, Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Mount
Royal University, Greg Condon, CIO at the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC), Dave Kubert, UNBC Information Security Officer and Brian Mackay, TRU’s AVP Digital Strategies & CIO. While many of the panelists touched on the challenges of running an IT department and the many dangers they face, Barr used his time to encourage audience members to think more about their privacy in a world with rapidly-advancing technology. “People should understand that events like these educate and create awareness and therefore causing
people to ask questions,” Barr said. “By 2023 we are going to wake up and have less freedom. Technology is good, but we have to have counterbalances in terms of privacy.” Despite his skepticism, Barr also believes that the questions posed concerning the risks of technology could mean a resurgence in critical thinking. “Now is the time for humanities and the arts and critical thinking to make it’s place,” Barr said. “I think this will be a golden era of arts and critical thinking in universities for students to be challenged with questions like what does it mean
to be a digital citizen in 2020, with #FakeNews, paranoia and everything that is going on in the world.” The conference heavily relied on volunteers to put up and take down the event. Food for the event was provided by the TRU Conference Centre’s catering department and served by volunteer students during breaks, with beverages throughout the entirety of the event. Events and Tourism students see the Privacy and Security Conference as a great opportunity to gain real life experiences in their fields, whilst still pursuing their studies.
Human rights chief commissioner visits TRU
Commissioner spoke of her own work and her goal to make the commission more accessible Teshu Agarwal CONTRIBUTOR Ω
Marie-Claude Landry, Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission visited TRU to give a public lecture last week. (Inside TRU)
January 2018 marked the maiden visit of chief commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, Marie-Claude Landry, to Kamloops. Landry visited TRU to give a public lecture called Advancing Access to Justice. Landry’s mission to make human rights accessible was evident in her interview with The Omega. “Human Rights Commission is not a business for me, human rights should be everywhere in the country,” Landry said. “We need to be reachable, we need to have a presence. This is why I travel coast to coast.” Landry has worked towards making the commission more reachable to the people in need. “I am more concerned about the people we can’t reach,” Landry said. The process to lodge a complaint
has been made simpler and online forms have been released under her leadership. Consequently, the number of complaints has risen. The Canadian Human Rights Commission upholds the Canadian Human Rights Act, which was passed in 1977 in the parliament of Canada. According to the Commission’s website their mandate is to protect the core principle of equal opportunity and promote a vision of an inclusive society free from discrimination. Since 1977, Landry is the first chief commissioner to visit Kamloops. She is a decorated and sought-after community leader in Quebec’s Eastern Townships where she has advocated for better health and palliative care, stronger local businesses and healthy community development. Recently, BC Supreme Court ruled an important decision that solitary confinement is unconstitutional. Landry commended the decision and called BC “a shining light for human
rights.” Landry is optimistic about the future of human rights in Canada. “Our country is seen as the mother of diversity by many countries, but we have room for improvement and we will do it,” she said. A member of the audience pointed out that BC code and human rights in Canada don’t have anything on basic human rights such as right to food, housing and other social needs. Landry replied by saying that it is a request that that shall be made some time. “I hope it happens sooner than later,” Landry said. Landry spoke to the aspiring law students in the audience and motivated them to play a positive role in Canada’s future. “Every time you hear a new case, it has potential to change lives,” she said. “Remember, it is as much about systemic change as much as individual change.”

Athletes stands against sexual violence TRUSU debunks myths around Islamophobia TRU Athletics shows support for victims of sexual violence with #IBelieveYou campaign with fun and comedy
The TRUSU Equity Committee hosted event to encouraged the end of community hatred
Cailyn Mocci ARTS EDITOR Ω Thompson Rivers University’s men’s and women’s volleyball teams are stepping up to stand with victims of sexual assault in Kamloops with the #IBelieveYou campaign. Kaitlin Lomas, who is a psychology major in her final year, has been playing with the TRU Women’s volleyball team for five years and has been a part of the #IBelieveYou campaign on campus. The #IBelieveYou campaign first got its start in 2015 with the Association of Alberta Sexual Assault Services. The athletics department has taken on a branch of the overall project running through campus with the help of Amber Huva, TRU’s Sexual Violence Prevention and Response manager and the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre. This initiative is aiming to “not be a one-size fits all prevention project,” says Lomas. The project aims to look at the needs of groups that may need different assistance such as indigenous and LGBTQ2S+ students. “We have a great big policy that doesn’t always fit each community,” Lomas said.
Cailyn Mocci ARTS EDITOR Ω
After the Jan. 26 women's volleyball game attendees were encouraged to share resources and support survivors. (TRU Athletics) Lomas believes that it’s important that the athletic department stands with the TRU sexual violence initiative because as student athletes they already have a strong stance and voice in the campus community. With the project, the teams had full control over the message they wanted to share. “I believe you is really impactful because it’s so simple,” Lomas said. Lomas and her team believe that even if not everyone agrees to the
statements and initiatives put into place, this campaign opens up the lines of communication. “Even if people disagree with what’s said, those disagreements give the opportunity to hash out those opinions and learn from each other,” she said. For the future, Lomas will be creating a guide book for future teams to carry the project with the goal to make the #IBelieveYou campaign a legacy project.
On Friday Feb. 1 the TRUSU Equity Committee hosted an evening dedicated to debunking the stigma and fear around the Islamic community. Guests were treated to a comedic approach of breaking down the barriers that Islamophobia has built in the West. The committee presented the 2013 comedic documentary “The Muslims are Coming!” co-directed by comedians Negin Farsad and Dean Obeidallah. The film shed light on a educational comedy tour through the American south and southwest, with hopes of debunking Islamophobia in Middle America. “We are loving people, we believe in peace” said TRUSU visible minorities representative Inayat Ur-Rehman. Much of the basis of the film was to open up the eyes of those who are uneducated on the topic and the committee aimed to do that Friday evening with the people of
Kamloops. “Many folks in the community don’t know much about Islamic communities and that’s the basis of hatred towards Islamics,” explained Ur-Rehman. This was apparent from the many conversations that rattled around the room just following the movie. The crowd was energized and talking about the new knowledge gained from this comedic approach to education. Ur-Rehman, who moved to Canada over two years ago, has felt nothing but welcomed in Kamloops. “I’ve felt so welcomed by the community here,” Ur-Rehman said. “I tremendously feel loved.” The basis around both the film and evening’s film screen encouraged the same message; just ask and be friendly to those that are a little different than you. “The best thing to do is make Muslim friends. There are more than 200 Muslim students here,” Ur-Rehman encouraged. “Ask them questions!”

Hockey program not a priority for TRU TRU faces difficulty in resurrecting its hockey program due to funding Alvin Mutandiro SPORTS EDITOR Ω When the hockey program was shut down back in 2014, it was due to financial costs and lack of funding. Hockey is seen as an integral part of Canadian culture, as a part of the country’s identity, as a sport that perfectly suits the nation’s weather conditions.This makes it a little odd that TRU doesn’t have a hockey program anymore. Over the years the biggest problem has been the financial costs of getting a team on the ice. The WolfPack program was started back in the 2008/09 season and ceased operations in the 2014/15 season. The problem as described by the TRU athletics was the lack of a
sustainable financial model. There were some attempts to revive the program such as Trevor Bast back in 2014, his son had been recruited by TRU and he tried to save the TRU hockey program through petitions and fundraising, but to no avail. In recent years there hasn’t been any news in relation to the program and its return. However, recently appointed athletic director Curtis Atkinson didn’t rule it out completely when he spoke to the Omega, but he did state that adding a program is not a major goal for TRU now. “It’s difficult to say whether or not it will happen definitively,” Atkinson said, “It’s not in my plans, I want to do a full evaluation of the programs we have.”
Yet Atkinson didn’t completely rule it out. “You never know long-term, hockey is a significant investment,” he said. Atkinson wasn’t around when the hockey program was at TRU, but he explained that he had plenty of experience dealing with hockey programs and that these kind of programs were very expensive to maintain. “Right off the bat you must look at whether its applying for Canada West or the BC intercollegiate hockey league and then really start to consider a financial model,” Atkinson said. “It’s significant any way you slice it,” he said, “Particularly when you don’t have access to your own facilities and you have to start looking
at community facilities,” remarked Atkinson. Atkinson reiterated the fact that the business model is the most important thing and that it plays a huge role in making any form of commitment. Despite the challenges that TRU would face, Atkinson kept an open mind regarding the issue. “Things can change, financial models can change,” he said, “Perhaps there will be some incentives to become financially involved,” Atkinson concluded. Atkinson also made it clear that his responsibility is not to just bring back the hockey program. “I want to evaluate the programs that we have and make sure that we are funding them to be successful,” he said.
The hockey program is a difficult program to resurrect, largely because of the finances involved in the sport, such challenges make it highly unlikely that TRU will have a program anytime soon. The pay to play model used in baseball won’t work in hockey because of the exorbitant costs involved. Kelly Olynyk, former WolfPack athletic director stated that part of the problem was that some hockey players in the program were not willing to pay the money that was being asked of them, if the players won’t pay then it will be up to the university to do so. If that is indeed the case, then it will take the university getting more funding for the hockey program to comeback to TRU.
TRU's hockey program returned in 2009 under head coach Chris Hans. Despite finishing second in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League, the program ended in 2015. (TRU Athletics)
'Pack plays in Hawaii
WolfPack men's volleyball competed against three NCAA teams in Hawaii over weekend Alvin Mutandiro SPORTS EDITOR Ω The WolfPack men’s volleyball team took part in a three-game exhibition tournament in Hawaii, the team played three games against NCAA programs. The tournament took place during TRU’s bye week, as the WolfPack team decided to use the week to get some match practice. Unfortunately, TRU lost all three games in the exhibition tournament. The ’Pack played the first game against the Academy Union professional team. They lost the game in three sets, scores were 25-19, 25-21, 25-16. TRU’s top scorer was third-year outside hitter Joshua Mullaney who had eight kills on sixteen chances. Fourth-year outside hitter Tim Dobbert had seven kills on sixteen
chances, second-year setter Anton Napolitano had twenty-two assists, while Sam Taylor Parks (third-year middle, Kelowna) had one kill in four swings and three service aces. It was tough contest for the WolfPack as most of the players for the Academy Union team were NCAA division 1 players. “Played a bit nervous to start,” said WolfPack head coach Pat Hennelly to TRU athletics. “We struggled with service reception at times. We had some good rallies and played well considering we arrived late last night.” TRU lost the second game to the Lees McRae College Bobcats of North Carolina, 3 sets to 1, the scores were 33-31, 25-27, 25-23, 25-19. Fourth-year hitter Tim Edge had fourteen kills in thirty-two swings, four digs and three block assists. Cole Hanson, (third-year middle, Kelowna) and Charlie
Bringloe, (third-year outside hitter, Waterloo) had seven kills, Jakob Hamilton (second-year setter, Calgary) thirty-two assists, one service ace and one dig. “We lost a tough one today,” said Hennelly. “We missed a lot of series and had trouble with some of the basics. Tim Edge hit well.” TRU struggled in the final exhibition game, losing to the University of Hawaii Rainbows, who won the game 25-17, 25-16, 25-22, in straight sets. Thompson Rivers’ top performer was once again Tim Dobbert, (fourth-year, outside hitter, Aichelberg, Germany) with fifteen kills in thirty-five chances and three digs. Anton Napolitano, (second-year setter, Victoria, Australia) had twenty-four assists, six digs, one block assist and one service ace. “The guys played great today,” said Hennelly. “We were led offensively by Tim Dobbert and
While TRU isn't in the NCAA, the 'Pack men's volleyball team played matches against NCAA teams in Hawaii last weekend. (TRU Athletics) defensively by Isaac Smit and Landon Currie. Sam Taylor Parks was very good at the net as well.” “The atmosphere in the gym was great with a large crowd and excellent plays. Charlie Bringloe (third-year outside hitter, Waterloo) came in and was very good serving and attacking,” Hennelly added. Despite the results Hennelly
was still very positive about experience. “Overall, a positive experience and well worth the trip,” concluded Hennelly. The Men’s WolfPack volleyball team returns to action on Feb. 8 against the Okanagan Heat. The ’Pack are currently ranked 9th in Usports league but are on a six-game winning streak.
