A year in the

Yes, another year has come and
gone, and a busy one is ahead. Change
seems to happen so quickly now that we
don’t have much time to reflect, so take
a moment to review some of last year’s
happenings at Douglas College.
Employees and students accomplished a
lot in 1995. Here’s a sample.

Commerce, Tourism and Catering in
Hungary and Douglas College

marketing course pitting teams of
Douglas College students against each

The holiday season was made a little
brighter for 16 New Westminster families by
employees of Douglas College. Staff, faculty
and administrators worked together to gather
food, gifts, and cash for turkey vouchers for
families in the community who found
themselves in need over Christmas. The drive
was organized by the Accounting Department’s
Vye Flindall working with Constable Mike
Blackstock of the New Westminster Police
Service. Ten College departments participated,
and they donated so much that the Police
Service had to send three minivans and five
community volunteers to deliver all the
groceries and gifts to the families. Seen here
with just one van-load are (1 to r): Volunteers
Shelly Jacobsen, Andrea Feldman, Nancy
Hwang, Roy Cairns and Russ Roest; Constable
Mike Blackstock, Vye Flindall, and Santa Claus
(a stand-in for Anne Fenton). The volunteers
are holding donated gingerbread houses and a
bicycle for a lucky child.
