That's right, Douglas College will be hold-
ing its grand opening on March 18, 1983

and to mark this event the college has
planned a large array of activities.

Theatre performances, music, displays,
tours, a reception and a dance are planned
to entertain the public and give everyone
a chance to see what the new $40 million
educational complex has to offer.

"We want to show off our new facilities
and that's why we are sending out an open
invitiation to the business community and
public to come in and see what we are all
about, and have some fun doing it," said
Bill Day.

The hour long opening ceremonies will take
place at 2:00 p.m. A keynote address will
be delivered by the Minister of Education,
Bill Vander Zalm. It will be followed by
the tours and a dance which starts at
5:00 p.m.

The new facility, a cornerstone in the re-
development plans of New Westminster, has
much to offer: a 360 seat performance the-
atre, gymnasium, cafeteria, lecture halls,
classrooms, bandrooms, science labs, vo-
cational labs, library and counselling
area.

"Douglas College has a lot to give the
community; a meeting place for communi ty
groups, resource centre for agencies and
businesses, as well as our many education
Opportunities in the career/vocational,
academic, community programs and adult
special education areas," Day said.

"This will be our first opportunity to
give the public a chance to see everything
under our new roof."

 

Keep Them Clean! Please!

We are all aware of budget restrictions.
One result of the severe budget is a very
limited building service staff. ‘At the
very best we will be able to maintain only
two Building Service Workers per shift be-
tween the hours of 0730 to 2330.

In comparison to the McBride site of
80,000 sq ft they have to cover 450,060

sq ft at Royal Avenue. They have been
assigned the principle responsibility of
washroom cleanliness. Early experience

at Royal Avenue indicates other duties the,
they are called upon to do, infringe on
their ability to keep thses facilities as
tidy as we all would like. One complete
sanitation routine per day is carried out
by the B.S.W. staff. A second tidy up and
resupply routine is attempted by the sec-
ond shift.

Your assistance in keeping washroom ap-
pearance reasonable is solicited and
would be most welcome.

Building Service Workers assigned duties
do not permit them to respond to direct
verbal requests from the college popula-
tion at large. Please refer building
service worker requirements to the
Manager - Security and Building Service
at Local 4832 or 4814. Building Service
Workers are not permitted to divert From
their assigned duties.
