CNC President and CEO Dr. Dennis Johnson said the College has a sufficient accumulated surplus to absorb the potential deficit projected in the 2021/22 budget.
“While much uncertainty remains around the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the college, this budget is prudent and responsive to the times,” he said.
