First Nations services reviewed

New Westminster MLA Anita Hagen (centre) was on campus February 2 to review the many partnerships that have been
established between Doulgas College and First Nations groups in the community. Hagen is recognized for the work
she’s done with First Nations constituents in her New Westminster riding. Joining her was Jenna Dupuis (left), Director
of the Raven Program, and Betsy Bruyere (right), Douglas College’s First Nations Services Coordinator.

note from lincoln centre

 

Valerie Gobeil is now doing Academic Advising at the Lincoln Centre one day per
week, Mondays from 8:30 to 4:30. There is a need for this service because so many
Douglas College students live in Coquitlam, so it’s often easier for them to see an advisor
there. Also, it’s a way to let people know that there are services in Coquitlam in advance of
the opening of the Pinetree Way campus. A different information session on a College
program will be held every Monday afternoon, beginning with business programs and UT
transfer business on March 13. Call Val at the Lincoln Centre at 945-8977 for more
information.

note from thomas haney centre

 

On February 13, Director Marian Rossell met with senior officials from the Maple Ridge
School District, BCIT, Maple Ridge Secondary School and Thomas Haney Secondary
School to review the work of the partnership to date and to pursue new opportunities. On
February 27, she met with representatives from University College of the Fraser Valley to
discuss potential linkages between the Thomas Haney Centre and UCFV’s campus in
Mission -- the two campuses aren’t far apart. ll

 

Quote of the Month:

"There is a magic about
the spring - some power
that revives half-dead
hopes and faiths and thrills
numbed souls with the
elixir of new life."
