za So long, Mike, and
thanks

Mike Blackstone, the New
Westminster Police Officer you may
know as the ‘Hamper Guy,” has been
reassigned from the Crime Prevention
Office to the Administrative Division of
Policy Development. With his new duties,
Mike will no longer be able to work with
Vye Flindall as the liaison for the
College’s seasonal hamper program, but
he called to convey his personal thanks
for everyone’s hard work this year.
Thanks to Mike, the number of local
families has risen from eight to 24 in just
three years. And thanks to Vye, the
program will keep going with a new
sponsor next year.

any general College promotion intended
to remain on display for more than a few
