making, give or take a few Leap
Years.

But this weekend, as the grand
finale to the 20th Anniversary
celebrations, Douglas College is
having an open house.

Open House ’90 stresses the
“community” in community col-
lege, says event coordinator Chris-
tina Symons, and that means the
celebration offers something for
everyone. Features range from

computers and back-to-basics play
centers to free courses.

“We're a community-focused
institution and that’s what the
open house shows,” said Symons.

“This is a great chance for people
to become more aware of what we
have to offer and it’s certainly not
just academic.”

For instance, Douglas
College’s Community Programs
and Services division presents con-
tinuing evening and weekend
courses on everything from
marketing to dealing with depres-
sion. During Open House ’90, you
can take a free mini course (one —
two hours) yourself. More than 30
classes on health, music, personal
computers, personal improvement
and other topics will be presented.
Registration begins 9:00 a.m. on
Saturday, or call 527-5473.

Families visiting Open House
‘90 will receive an education of a
different kind. The subject is old-
fashioned, no-video-screen fun
and the lessons will be dispensed
both days at various Kids World
sites on campus.

“This isn’t a baby sitting area,
the parents can also get involved,”
said Symons. "The focus will be on
things like interactive play, ethnic
play, arts and crafts which teach
recycling and games in which
children move around to develop
their motor skills.”

Other groups moving around
will be the Douglas College music
