OPEN LETTER TO THE COLLEGE COMMUNITY

Health is something which effects all of us
but which we tend to take for granted.

An informal committee of interested college
members has been meeting this spring to dis-

cuss immediate and practical ways of promoting §

health and fitness in the campus community.
Information has been shared about resources
available for health promotional activities.

The committee, consisting of Marilyn Smith
and Sandra Carpenter from Counselling and
Student Services, Chris Johnson from Fine
Arts and Win Matheson from Health Services,
has presently tabled their activities. In
late August or early September, a general
notice will be sent out inviting anyone
interested to discuss the area of Health
Promotion and propose a standing committee
to plan and coordinate activities. The
committee might be composed of representa-
tives from among faculty, staff and students.

The committee has done several things
already this year to start the ball roll-

ing.

A memo has been sent to the Principal re-
questing that juice or some other nutri-
tious alternative be available in addition
to the ever-present coffee at meetings.

A proposal was submitted to the college-
wide Personnel Development Committee
that activities be planned to emphasize
the health and fitness of all partici-
pants. Though no extensive activities
were incorporated into the May plans,
Chris Johnson will be offering a step-
test. for those of you who want to find
out how fit you are.

Chris Johnson has met with the Principal
to design a submission to the Minister .
of Recreation and Leisure regarding

community college programs for preventa-

, tive health practices.

 

Also discussed by the committee was a *
memorandum to be sent to the Snack Bar :
on each campus requesting inclusion

of more nutritious snacks on their
menu. =

The Student Services Division, in
co-operation with Health Services

and Chris Johnson held a Professional
Development Day on March 11 to dis-
cuss what we could all do to promote
our own health and that of our students.
Served for lunch was an excellent and
nutritious meal including yogurt,

8. alfalfa sprouts and lots of juice.

lf you appreciate the work the committee
has been attempting, we hope you will
plan to come to the fall meeting with
your support and suggestions.

If you have any information at this
time you think might be helpful, send
it along to Sandra Carpenter, Surrey
Campus , or phone local 268.
