Adult Speclal Education

Through the combined and Individual efforts of
personnel In three different Divisions of the College, we
have developed a reputation for our high quality service to
adults with special needs. We are engaged In the training
of paraprofesslionals to work with people with special needs;
we provide Instruction to a range of students from the
severely to the mildly handicapped; we provide special
support services and equipment to speclal needs students In
regular college programs.

These activities have resulted from our close community

links - I Inks which we contInue to malntain and which assist
us to Improve existing Programs, and to develop new
programs.

Fine & Performing Arts

Our existing expertise, our outstanding physical
facilities, and the development of fliIm studios In the Lower
Malniand region provided Impetus for us to expand existing
Programs, or develop new ones, In Theatre, Stagecraft Oo
Technology, and Performing Arts Management. These have been
undertaken In cooperation with other Institutions In the
Lower Malnliand, Including SImon Fraser University.

Physical Education & Recreation

Our expertise, physical faciliIltles, and community need,
encourage us to pursue developments in this area. We have
established a Sports Institute, through which we provide
non-credit Instruction to community members Involved In
Coaching and Sports Administration, and we provide
membership for community members to utIl lize the college
resources for fltness and recreatlonal activities. These
activities have provided a higher level of knowledge and
skills to community volunteers and have also provided the
college with valuable economic IInks.
