Building Service Worker Lance Hurst.

What's the angle on Lance Hurst?
For one thing, he loves to fish. "It’s
my number one hobby," said the
Building Service Worker, who came
to Douglas College eight years ago
first on a part-time basis, and later
full-time. His passion for landing a
big trophy for the rec-room wall led
him into working as a guide on
rivers throughout the province.

The 31-year-old Hurst was born
in Burnaby and attended New
Westminster Senior Secondary.
"The best things about my job are
the guys | work with, and meeting
lots of people," he said. His other
hobby is his children. Daughter
Rachel is three years old, and he'll
soon be devoting a little more time
to that hobby. His wife Fulvia is ex-
pecting their second child in six
weeks. "I love my kids," said Hurst. &
