The Thirsty Moose Pub has been saved by its antlers.
UNBC’S Northern Under Graduate Student Society (NUGSS) voted in favour of increasing the student fee by $6.50 in order to cover the pub’s financial losses.
Unofficial results have 349 people voting in favour compared to the 124 who voted against.
The total fee is now $41.52.
Eligible university students decided the fate of the campus watering hole even though the NUGSS-run bar has been losing money since it opened – including $40,000 in 2015 – and the Society hasn’t found a suitor.
Erik Searle is now the new NUGSS President replacing Arctica Cunningham.
Chris King is the new Director of Finance while Raychill Snider has been voted the Sustainability Representative.
