Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC) will hold its

AGM Oct. 28-31, 1974 in Quebec City. ACCC acts as a clearing house for
information among the member organizations. Dave Milton (Langara)

is a member of its Board of Directors and Howard Eaton (Douglas) is

the B.C. Regional Representative.

Dave Milton recommended that CFF consider Associate Organizational
Membership in the ACCC for $100.00 annually. The Directors were
directed to ascertain the views of their associations re this re-
commendation.

I would appreciate hearing your views - for or against.

munication between it and its member associations, the availability

associations, for their Executive Committee meetings as well as
their general meetings to answer any questions pertaining to the CFF.

administrations concerning the attendance by their faculty members at
association meetings on working days. None of the other college

countered no administrative problems for attendance at our meeting by
invitation. Malaspona College even provides quarter time release
from teaching duties to its Faculty Association President.

The CFF has established good rappots with the 'new' Department of
Education. Ernie Livesey and I had managed to have a short private
meeting with Mrs. Dailly during her visit to the Langara Campus this

summer. She assured us of CFF participation in the matters that
concern colleges. One tangible sign of this is the membership on
the Task Force onMelding for Ernie Livesey. This Task Force was

set up as a result of Gordon Ingellis',past president, CFF, meeting
with Mrs. Dailly in April 1973.

On Sept. 15th Ernie Livesey, Brian Webster (Selkirk) and I had
