David Lam Campus welcomes

Pinetree secondary students

Grade 12 science and math students from Pinetree Secondary School are attending Douglas College

this semester — sort of. Pinetree Secondary experienced significant growth this year, and approached

Douglas College about providing space for their overflow classes. As the David Lam Campus is at

60% capacity, the College entered into an agreement with the neighboring high school and agreed to provide limited space (classrooms and labs) for the 98/99 academic year only.

As part of this agreement, Douglas College receives extra money for David Lam Campus services

such as security, cleaning and technicians, as well as funds for faculty release time to pursue science

and articulation agreements with the secondary school. The agreement was arranged by Pure and Applied Science and Technology Dean Des Wilson and VP Mia Gordon.

Comunity Support name change

The Community Support Worker program has recently changed is name to Classroom and Community Support (CCS). The name change

lets potential applicants

know that CCS prepares its

graduates to support people with intellectual disabilities in communities, including schools. Faculty in CCS hope that the new name will help potential learners who want to work in schools as classroom assistants identify CCS as the program that best suits

their career choice.

This $10,000 cheque is the first of five annual installments presented by BC Hydro. The Green Links program creates ecological links between habitats by increasing the amount of native vegetation for animals and birds.

World's Youngest Grandmother?

Mary Whorley of the Registrar's Office is, believe it or not, a grandmother. Granddaughter Kara Patricia Whorley was born September 29. Mary still hasn't gotten into the swing of the Grandma thing though — rumour has it that she hasn't brought one single picture to

work yet.

Wine and cheese, anyone? Winemakers take note! Top quality 1998 Okanagan grape juice available. Call Leda Reaume at local 5901.
