deconsecrated and recently
renovated St. Peter’s Church

Nyce said 100 students are
studying out of the new univer-
sity in New Aiyansh, some of
whom are Terrace residents who
drive to New Alyansh for Nisga’a
language and culture courses.

“The instructors are saying the
students are doing, very well,”’
said Nyce. ““The closer you are to
home when ‘you study, the more
successful you tend to be.”

Students can currently complete
