wo 1600-pound Belgian hor-

ses will pull a 100-year old

plow to break ground for
the new Thomas Haney Centre in
Maple Ridge, the first institution
of its kind in B.C.

The ground breaking
ceremony at 11 a.m. on Saturday,
July 21 will symbolize the unique
partnership between the three key
players responsible for the centre’s
development.

The Thomas Haney Centre,
which combines elements of a
high school and community col-
lege under one roof, is a joint
project between Douglas College,
Maple Ridge School District and
the Municipality of Maple Ridge.

“The three partners are pull-
ing together for better education in
Maple Ridge,” says Dave Ester-

gaard, principal and director of
the new facility.

Bill Day, president of Douglas
College, says the new centre is
“precedent setting.”

“It’s certainly the first joint
enterprise of its kind in B.C. and I
believe in western Canada, where
a school district, a post-secondary
institution and a municipality
have joined forces to build a multi-
use educational facility,” Day says.

The $27 million centre will be
located on a 35 acre site near Telos-
ky stadium. The facility will ac-
commodate up to 1,200 grade 8 to
12 high school students and 450
full-time college students. The
school district is picking up the
bulk of the cost.
