Choir invites
you to sing out

Interested in testing your musical
muscles?

The community-based Douglas
College Choral Society invites you to a
new season under conductor Patricia
Rolston beginning on September 21.
Auditions will be held early in the season,
but Rolston urges both experienced and
new singers interested in choral music to
give the society a try.

“T like to encourage new singers,”
said Rolston, who is also Music Director
of the Richmond Community Music
School. “There are a lot of people out
there with good voices who would like to
be in a choir but who have never had the
opportunity.”

This season the society will perform
Handel’s Messiah and Carl Orff’s
Carmina Burana. In addition to its
rehearsals and concerts, the choir also
holds social get-togethers.

The society rehearses Wednesday
evenings in the College’s Performing Arts
Theatre. For more information call the
College’s Community Music School at
527-5469; there is a fee for the season. ff

areas such as mathematics, English, the
sciences, computers and business. With
final Ministry funding approval expected
shortly, the curriculum is currently being
developed in cooperation with the
Northern Alberta Institute of Technology,
which offers a distance training program,
and the Opticians’ Association of Canada.

Blueprints for the new campus in
Coquitlam include plans for a retail
optical outlet staffed by students.

“This could be available to the College
and general community and would
generate revenue to help offset program
costs,” said Holmwood.

The program will primarily train
newcomers to the field, although
advanced training will be available for
those already working in the industry.
There are currently about 2,000 people
working in optical dispensing in B.C., and
training standards for them will be
regulated by a new College of Dispensing
Opticianry.

B.C. is the last province in Canada to
require certified training in this field.

Fencing club opens

For those who want to sharpen their reflexes and wits while they
exercise their bodies, the Douglas College Fencing Club begins this

Sessions will enable you to study foil, epee and sabre as you learn
about this challenging sport. The group will meet Mondays, from 7-9:30 pm in Room 1315,

equipment) with student rates of $60 and $40.
