says.

Mellalieu would like to get
high school students to visit the
college to show them that, al-
though there is a certain amount
of work involved at college, it can
also be an enjoyable experience.

Mellalieu joined the Air Force
when he left high school, and later
worked as an air traffic controller.
He also worked in the mining busi-
ness for about a year.

“T returned to university when
I was 25. I ended up short on my
degree. My major was English

Literature,” he says, adding he
plans to complete his degree at
some point.

Mellalieu and his wife
Catherine own the Rainbow Ridge
Special Care Home, a hospital for
20 profoundly handicapped in-

really exciting,” he says of his job.

lege expanding in Maple Ridge,
we need as much representation
out here as we can get.”

Mellalieu says he might like to
get involved in the “fundraising
end of things” at Douglas College.
“It seems to me that I have
worked on just about every
fundraiser in Maple Ridge. I guess
that’s one of the things I usually
get involved in. I don’t lose sight
of the goals. In that respect, I
would help out there.”

Chris and Catherine Mellalieu
have a 15-year-old daughter and a
14-year-old son.

Dw You Know...?

e @ e That there were no members
of visible minorities holding ad-
ministrative positions at Douglas
College in 1983, and that there are
only two in 1990? The percentage of
visible minority Administrators has
increased from 0% in 1983 to almost
6% today, which does not reflect the
College’s continuing commitment
to equal opportunity for visible
minorities.
