New Bursary for Adult Basic
Education Students

Adult Basic Education students
at Douglas College will soon
benefit from the establishment of
the Gail Smythe Memorial Bursary.

The Gail Smythe Memorial Bur-
sary was established by her family
to honour her memory and her com-
mitment to Adult Basic Education.

Gail enjoyed an active career as
an educator. She taught Adult
Basic Education at Douglas and
Kwantlen Colleges and is a past
president of the B.C. Primary
Teachers’ Association. A reading
specialist, Gail is widely recog-
nized as a pioneer in the fields of
adult literacy, adult education and
primary education.

Gail firmly believed that adult
education students required the best
education the system had to offer
and she worked hard to ensure their
needs were addressed. Gillies Mal-
narich, Gail’s friend and colleague,
noted that “she spoke eloquently on
behalf of those individuals whose
lack of education barred them from
full and informed participation in
social life.””, Malnarich remembers
Gail as ‘‘a teacher’s teacher - some-
one not afraid to be the lone voice.”

Gail’s links to Douglas College
were not limited to her experience
as an adult basic education instruc-
tor. Both of her daughters also
attended Douglas College.

Income from the Gail Smythe
Memorial Bursary endowment will
be awarded as one or more bur-
saries to students enrolled in the
Developmental Studies program
who demonstrate good scholastic
ability and who have need of
monetary assistance.
