Harry Bains becomes KPU’s next Chancellor

Kwantlen Polytechnical Univercity (KPU) has appointed former MLA and longtime labour advocate Harry Bains as the university’s next Chancellor.

He will be the institution’s fourth Chancellor since it became a polytechnic university in 2008.

Bains, who served for 19 years as MLA for the Surrey-Newton riding where KPU has a campus, took over as the university’s ceremonial head this month.

The duties of the Chancellor include presiding over convocation, where credentials are conferred on graduating students.
