Trip to Ottawa for C.M.H.C. Proposal

Our proposal went well but was more encompassing than
they envisioned. We revised the proposal to include only
the offering and developing of a Management Training Program
for manager, of Multi Housing Projects.

This revised proposal fits our expertise and with the
approval of $20,333 (which we can expect by January 1, 1975)
we will be able to meet the requirements of the contract.

This whole project has far reaching implications for
Douglas College. We will be working with The University
of Alberta, The University of Guelph, and one Maritime
university yet to be chosen. The plan is to have present
and future managers of public housing units trained to an
acceptable level of management competence through this
basic program available from the above institutions.

Some form of accreditation will be carried out and
administered by the Federal Government or the Provincial
Housing Commissions. We will be involved on the committee
at the federal level in planning and developing this whole
program: thus Douglas College will become the centre for
Bai

In addition to having worthwhile sessions with several
Federal Government individuals and committees during my
short visit there, I was able to attend the House of Commons
while debate on the budget was in progress. This timely
experience I was able to share with our faculty who teach
in the subject areas where the Canadian Economy is a major
topic.
