President’s Report

Centre for Curriculum,
Transfer, and Technology

As a result of the provincial strategic
plan, the new provincial Centre for
Curriculum, Transfer, and Technology is
now constituted. Its 14-member Board
includes Douglas College Board member
Jamie McEvoy, who represents the
province’s students.

The new Centre incorporates the
former Curriculum and Professional
Development Centre and the Standing
Committee on Educational Technology,
but an expanded role is anticipated.
Executive Director Dr. Gary Bauslaugh
will be visiting Douglas College soon to
discuss how the Centre can best
contribute to constructive change in the
post-secondary system.

Green Links also provides a professional jumping-off point for Burnaby Project
Coordinator Kathleen Grainger, who has a degree in Environmental Studies from Waterloo
University and a Diploma in Integrated Resource Management from Sir Sanford Fleming
College. Grainger is supervising a variety of projects, including community surveys and
urban trail planning. “This is the first job I’ve had in my field. I’m interested in project
management rather than strictly technical work, so I’m glad to be applying my specialty in
such a hands-on way.”

Other workers, whose ranks include grads from local high schools, BCIT, SFU, UBC
and Douglas College, will fan out to study ecological systems in identified urban settings,
reintroduce native plant species throughout the study sites, and conduct educational
workshops in schools and community centres. Part of the “E-Team’s” time with the
Institute will also be spent in the classroom, tackling a wide variety of environmental
issues and learning the latest techniques to improve endangered areas.

For more information on any aspect of the Green Links project, call Melinda Yong 9
the Institute office (5522) or Val Schaefer (5224). And watch for posters on the many
upcoming public events—thanks to the Institute and its crew, it’s going to be a very
“green” spring at Douglas College. ff
