Environment, Accessibility
Stressed At First President’s
Commission Hearing

The environment was identified
as a leading public concern at the
first meeting of the President's
Commission on the new Coquit-
lam campus last Tuesday evening
in Port Coquitlam.

“Douglas College should ac-
centuate the environment as an
area of study,” said Michael For-
rest, a Port Coquitlam resident and
member of the Pacific Salmon
Commission. “Unless we have a
specific program that teaches us

how to improve the environment,
we'll never learn it.”

Port Moody Mayor Dave Dris-
coll was a scheduled presenter at
the meeting. He also identified the
environment as a concern of Port
Moody residents, as well as acces-
sibility. “The new campus must be
sensitive to change through broad-
based programs,” he said. “It
must be seen as being open to the
community, not only physically,
but in a programmatic sense.”

Port Coquitlam resident Tracy
Kline told the Commission that
education for single mothers must
be easier to get. Having a young
son with physical disabilities
makes it difficult for her to attend
college full-time, but Kline said
that a number of factors prevent
other women from getting ahead
through education. “Expense,
physical distance, and daycare is a
big problem. For young single
mothers especially, the need is real-
ly there,” she said.

Attendance at the meeting
was fairly low, but President's
Commission Chair Richard Bell
felt that attendance.will improve
as series of meetings continues.
He said that input from the public
has already proved to be invalu-
able. “It gave us a sense of the
value of going to the community
and seeing who and what is
there,” said Bell. #
