the authors say, Vancouver scores
high. For example, on a Canada-
wide air quality index, the air in
Greater Vancouver in 1986
generally measured in the ‘good’
range (the best of four possible
categories of air quality). But,
they point out, even when there
is no overall danger of pollution,
problems with specific pollutants
can still occur.

Those wishing further informa-
tion on the report should phone

Department.

NEW FACULTY
APPOINTMENT

 

 

 

 

 

GILLIAN CROWLEY

Eo fall Gillian joined the
English and Communications
Department following four years
of teaching people in business, in-
dustry and government how to
improve their writing and read-
ing skills.

Aside from teaching business
writing, her own business ex-
perience includes managing a
small consulting firm, administer-
ing non-credit college courses,
and working as a writer and
editor for a federal ministry.

Gillian says all her work ex-
periences have confirmed the
adage that "Writing is Power".
"Although in one organization I
was informed (not entirely
tongue in cheek) that the purpose
there was to obfuscate, not to
clarify..."

In addition to teaching business
people, she has also spent five
years teaching freshman composi-
tion at Mount Royal College in
Calgary, and a year teaching at
the Alberta Vocational Institute
(Calgary).

One of her current projects is to
complete an article on the role of
revision within the composing,
process which will be published
in a book tentatively titled
“Teachers as Researchers" (spon-
sored by the University of
Calgary).

Since returning, to B.C. in 1986
after 16 chilly years in Calgary (al-
though the people were warm),
she says it’s wonderful to be back
close to the mountains and sea
again. She is hoping to take up
sailing again and will continue
hiking and cross-country skiing.
Gillian had great plans for gar-
dening too, but has since
regressed to machete attacks on
her backyard forest.
