President's Repo rt

Dr. Grant Fisher, Assistant Deputy Min-

| ister of Education (Post-Secondary) and
Mr. Lorne Thompson, Executive Director,

Program Services of the Post-Secondary
Division visited the Royal Avenue site

on December 17, and spent three hours

informally touring the site, reviewing
the nature of the facility, and having
informal discussions with the Deans, the

Bursar and myself regarding Douglas Col-

lege's present and future role on the
lower mainland,

Following Joy Leach's very interesting

workshops on community resource develop-
ment in December, Mr. Doerr and I have
been discussing possible approaches for
Douglas College, using the same themes.
If the Board approves a proposal to be
tabled by the Board Chairman this even-
ing, it will be receiving a recommenda-
tion from the Management Committee at
the next regular Board meeting regarding

organization and responsibility within
Douglas College for a community resource

development.

D INTERNAL MATTERS - LABOUR RELATIONS

No major events have occurred over the
past month requiring the attention of
the Board. Negotiations are continuing
with the Douglas College local of the
BCGEU. We expect that negotiations will

be commencing shortly with the Douglas

College local of the Douglas/Kwantlen

| Faculty Association.

E. INTERNAL MATTERS - GENERAL
Plans for the official opening of the

Royal Avenue site on March 18 are taking

shape. The Committee has tabled draft
plans for critical review with the Col-
lege Board and with College constituen-
cies. Members of the Board are requested
to criticize plans for the crganization of
the opening as soon as possible. The
Planning Committee is meeting weekly, and
proposals and criticisms should be pro-
vided directly to Mr. Redmond.

Registration on January 6 and 7 for the
Spring Semester went smoothly. Reports

from students indicate that the registra-
tion process had been vastly speeded up
as a result of the new physical arrange-
ments, and increasingly careful organiza-
tion.

On January 12, we were able to welcome a
group of. students from Quebec, who were
paying a "return visit" to their Douglas
College counterparts who had a week long
visit in “la belle province" in December.
These students seemed to be very pleased
with their reception, and delighted with

the activities that had been developed
for them by the Douglas College personne‘
involved in the program.
