Vancouver Island University is getting set to search for a new president.

Last week current president Deborah Saucier announced her resignation as of April fourth.

The move followed a vote of non confidence in her leadership from the VIU Faculty Association and a call for her removal from the Vancouver Island University Students Union (VIUSU).

Midcoast Morning speaks with a representative from VIUSU about their hopes for the change.

Plus this weekend voters in and around Oceanside will decide on the fate of substantial upgrades to the Ravensong Aquatic Centre in Qualicum Beach.

Parksville Mayor Doug O’Brien shares the journey the project has taken to reach this stage.
