DOUGLAS COLLEGE BOARD

W.L. DAY
PRESIDENT'S REPORT

External Matters - Municipal

 

The New Wopenidieer Rotary Club honoured the College with a meeting in

the cafeteria of the new campus, followed by a tour. Over 60 people
were involved. Since that time we have been informed that the Rotary
is intending to make a substantial scholarship available to the College.

On November 25th, Mr. Laurie Wallace met with Mr. Doug Manning and
Mayor elect Tom Baker of New Westminster, and myself, regarding the
possibility of the Queen visiting New Westminster, and participating
in the College's Opening Ceremonies in March. After a brief visit,
the visitors agreed that it would be appropriate to have the Queen
participate in the Opening. Subsequent to that visit and tentative
agreement, it was found that the Queen would be able to spend only
15 minutes in New Westminster, and therefore her involvement would
not be possible.

On December 14, I met with Mr. R. Wright of the First Capital City
Development Company in order to discuss a long term agreement for
parking access to the existing and future waterfront parking
facilities in New Westminster. In the foreseeable future, the
parking available to Douglas College personnel and students under-

_ neath the Campus will not be adequate for guaranteed parking, and

we have an agreement in principle that we will have access to a
certain number of spaces on the waterfront. Following discussions
over the next two months, a proposal will be placed before the
Board, in the form of a long term agreement.

No news has been received recently from the City of New Westminster

regarding our proposed agreement on Simcoe Park. We believe it is
being discussed at the Committee level on City Council.

External Matters - Education

 

On December 3, Mr. iigan and I attended a seminar at Malaspina.
College on ethical problems in educational administration. Because
of the current climate of economic stress and the heightening of
pressures on institutions, college administrators are exposed to a
variety of problems in personal and professional ethics which are
seldom discussed in a systematic fashion. The Malaspina seminar was
superbly organized, and a very valuable experience.
