Douglas College media release

ning to upgrade your business options or downsize your personal space?

Surrey residents will have more learning and training opportunities as the Douglas College
Be Training Centre moves from its Central City Mall location into larger facilities on
ptember 5. The new 12,000 square-foot centre at 10060 King George Highway features class-
ms, resource room and a computer lab where students can take workshops and short-term
lurses.
“We've been able to grow because we do a lot of local research to find out what people are
rested in, whether it is for fun or professional development or career change,” says Evelyn
brtobagyi, the Centre’s Project Coordinator of Community Education and Part-Time Studies.
The wide range of learning options explore subjects such as digital photography, computer
berams in design and business development, debt management and how to write your own
— history.

People can also select a major program in Interior Decorating with courses for professional
signers, domestic do-it-yourselfers and homeowners who want to enhance their space to

act buyers. A course in downsizing also attracts a lot of interest.

“As people we are gatherers and hoarders, and our stuff owns us. The course addresses the
otional impact of downsizing to get rid of stuff of the stuff we have accumulated,” says
brtobagyi. “Also, students learn what to do with the things they no longer need. The intention
© keep only that which we need to make our homes beautiful spaces to live in.”

The centre is a short walk from the King George SkyTrain Station. It offers day and evening
ses and operates Monday to Saturday. For a full list of programs and more information visit
