PRESIDENT'S REPORT

 

A.

External Matters - Municipal

 

On October 28, His Worship, Mayor Tom Baker, of New Westminster visited
the College for informal discussions with Mr. Bill Emerton, Chairman

of the Board and myself. We were joined by Jim Doerr and Randi Duke
who provided information to the Mayor on aspects of the College's
community activities and programs. The Mayor was given a tour of the
building, with a special emphasis on the Vocational, Laboratory, and
Performing Arts facilities. He informed us that the Council] was well
aware of the significance of the College to New Westminster, and that
we could be assured of a welcome reception at such time as we wished

to make a presentation to the City Council.

Because of the events of the week of November 6th, I arranged for the

cancellation of the visits of two MP's who were to visit the College.
Rescheduling of visits by MP's and MLA's is now underway.

External Matters - Education

 

Between October 25 and 27 I attended a Federal Government sponsored
National Consultation on Skill Development Leave in Hull, Quebec. I
have obtained a considerable amount. of information on federal
programs, and on prospects for the future, which I will be circu-
lating to members of the administration. Anyone else interested in
the materials available is welcome to check with my office.
