Parents share stories Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

About 40 people showed up at a parents’ meeting in Burnaby Monday night to brainstorm on how to deal with long wait-lists to get help for their children with special needs. Parents Wendy Seet and Marc Adams organized the event at the McGill library branch because they were frustrated with the long wait to get help for their three-yearold daughter, Kate, through the Supported Child Development Program. Because Kate has Down syndrome and extra needs, she was approved to have an support worker with her in daycare, but by the time Kate’s wait-list number comes up, she’ll likely be out of daycare. Seet said the meeting was mostly taken up by similar stories from other parents whose children were wait-listed because government funding is not keeping up with demand. “The stories were so powerful,” Seet said. Local NDP MLAs attended, and the Liberals MLAs sent their constituency assistants. Barbara Spitz, who works for Harry Bloy, arranged for the parents to make a presentation to the provincial government’s select standing committee on finance and government services, which is on tour listening what the public wants prioritized for the 2011/12 budget. Seet said parents will plead their case on Wednesday in Vancouver. “We’ve asked for as many parents as possible to come, and we’ll write a joint speech to be delivered at the budget hearing,” she said.

Making noise: Protesters from No One Is Illegal, a refugee and immigrant rights group, rally outside the Burnaby youth prison where Tamil women and children are being detained.

Protesters send message to Tamils Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A pregnant woman from the boat of Tamil migrants was released from Burnaby’s youth prison Monday, following a detention hearing. She is the first adult to be released from the group of nearly 500 migrants who arrived in Esquimalt Aug. 13, after months at sea. Her name cannot be released because of a publication ban, but she is pregnant and has three children. Meanwhile, about 70 demonstrators gathered outside the Burnaby youth prison on Saturday, banging pot and pans in hopes a group of Tamil women and children would hear them from inside the prison walls.

“We’re holding a noise demonstration to let the … Tamil women and children know we’re here to support them,” said Nassim Elbardouh, from No One Is Illegal, a refugee and immigrant rights group. Four hundred and ninety-two men, women and children from Sri Lanka were packed on the MV Sun Sea. All are being held in detention, apart from a handful of unaccompanied minors, who were released to the Ministry of Children and Family Development. Twenty-five women and 44 children are being held at the Burnaby Youth Custody and Services Centre. The children aren’t officially being detained, but they are staying with their mothers or guardians, who are in custody. “We want to see them be released imme-

diately and be welcomed,” Elbardouh said. “It’s criminalizing asylum seekers, it’s criminalizing refugees, and that is not OK.” Immigration and Refugee Board spokesperson Paula Faber said the migrants are in the beginning stages of the third round of detention reviews. The Canada Border Services Agency is arguing the migrants be kept in detention till their identities have been confirmed. Faber said she has no information on when the women and children can expect to be released, but as long as the people are held in custody, they will get detention reviews For more on this story, see Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www. burnabynow.com.

Lake testing costs up $138,000

Booting it for animals in the city

Testing for the Burnaby Lake Rejuvenation Project is going to cost more than $100,000 more than what was estimated by the contractor, according to a report from the department of engineering. While the report said the project is going well, and should be near completion by March 2011, it included a request that council approve additional funding for testing. The report was included in the manager’s report at Monday night’s council meeting. Burnaby-based Maxxam Laboratory services was awarded the testing contract for $232,340 plus taxes. But the scope of the work has expanded, according to the report, and the testing cost is now estimated at $370,000 plus HST. “The increase is due primarily to the number of dissolved metals and turbidity tests required in order to avoid the need to truck the (dredged material) to a special landfill site, to reduce water treatment costs and to improve production rates,” the report said. The additional funding is available within the $20 million project budget, according to the report.

Residents want more street trees

The city’s engineering department has responded to a request for more street tree planting in Burnaby. A delegation spoke at a council meeting on July 12, asking that the city consider funding street tree planting separately in the capital budget, and consider new areas for planting, aside from new development and local area service program beautification projects. Directorofengineering,Lambert Chu, responded in a report presented to council on Monday night that there are currently about 60,000 street trees in Burnaby. Under the capital program budget for 2010, $812,000 was set aside for planting trees and landscape enhancements, he added. There is also $570,000 set aside in the operating budget for maintaining street trees. Trees cannot be added to unfinished streets, the report said, because the trees could conflict with future upgrades and finishing of the roads, as well as driveways, utility connections and walkways. – By Janaya Fuller-Evans

Boots giving back: Yolanda Brooks from the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. is urging

the public to participate in a fundraiser by uploading photos of their boots online. Money raised will help the association care for injured animals.

If you’ve got a pair of boots kicking around, you can help a local organization heal injured animals. The Burnaby-based Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. is part of a charity fundraiser by shoemaking company Keen Canada. For every photo of boots uploaded to its website, Keen Canada will donate $5 to one of four charities, one of which is the Wildlife Rescue Association at Burnaby Lake. “From our perspective, it’s a great campaign,” said Yolanda Brooks, the association’s communications coordinator. Brooks said the campaign frees up volunteers from fundraising, allowing them to focus on work at the centre, be it feeding baby birds, treating wounds or changing dressings. The promotion runs till Oct. 31. To participate, people need to take a picture of their boots, then go to http://www.keencanada.ca and click on Boots Give Back to upload the photo. People can upload more than one picture, as long as it’s a different pair of boots. The Wildlife Rescue Association has been rehabilitating injured animals since 1979.

Metrotown plans going public

Proposed townhouses and hotel will be up for discussion Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The City of Burnaby is holding a public hearing on Sept. 21 regarding bylaw rezoning for three developments. The first would allow developers to build a mixed-use hotel and apartment tower atop a three-storey retail space at Kingsway and Willingdon Avenue, in the Metrotown Development Plan area. Bosa Properties Inc. had previously applied to put in a 34-storey mixed use highrise atop a two-storey commercial podium on the site in 2008. The plan for

the tower included office and residential space. Bosa has cancelled those plans and presented a revised application for a 45-storey mixed-use tower with hotel and apartment space, and a three-storey retail podium. The new application also includes a commercial fitness facility, street front access for non-profit office space (the nonprofit space, owned by city hall, was part of the original proposal), improved street access and plans to build the project to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver standards. The hotel is intended to support Burnaby’s motion picture, hightech, corporate and tourism industries, according to the city manager’s report presented to

council for the Aug. 30 council meeting. The hotel would take up 13 storeys of the tower, with 169 rooms, while residential space would take up 26 storeys, with 202 units total, according to the plan. The other two developments are a 10unit townhouse at 3740 to 3746 Manor St., with full underground parking, and 15-unit stacked townhouse at 7157 Stride Ave. Those who believe their interests are affected by any of the developments can have their concerns heard at the Sept. 21 public hearing at 7 p.m. in the council chamber at city hall. For those who cannot attend, written submissions must be received at the city clerk’s office by 4:45 p.m. on the day of the public hearing.

Home sales drop in Burnaby Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

A year after the highest selling July on record, real estate listings and sales dropped in July throughout Greater Vancouver, including Burnaby. The low numbers continued into August, but there was a slight increase in sales from July’s dip. In Burnaby, 89 detached homes sold in August, as well as 53 attached units (such as townhouses) and 151 apartments, according to the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. These numbers are well below last August’s, which dipped slightly after a record-breaking July. Last August, 114 detached homes sold, as well as 115 attached units and 188 apartments. Last July, there were 153 detached homes sold, 134 attached and 235 apartments. This was a huge increase from July 2008.

But a drop in listings, which local Realtor Adam Goss says is a positive sign, matches the drop in sales. “The good thing about the drop in listings is that before we had an extremely high stock,” said Goss, who’s with Park Georgia Realty and sells in Burnaby and New Westminster. In August, there were 100 detached homes listed, 114 attached units and 205 apartments. In July, 135 detached homes were listed, 87 attached homes and 243 apartments. Comparatively, last August 167 detached homes were listed, 124 attached units and 253 apartments. The listings for last July were even higher. Currently, Park Georgia Realty has 5.3 months of inventory, though in the condo market there is about eight months’ worth, according to Goss. That is the length of time it would take to sell the entire inventory currently in stock, he explained.

Lynn Valley Law

“(It) suggests a balanced market,” Goss said, adding anything above seven months becomes more difficult to clear. “It is nice to see the drop.” Because the market was so saturated, there weren’t as many motivated sellers, he added. The difference in the detached home and apartment markets in Burnaby is quite evident, he said. One client was able to sell his home in two days, after receiving two offers, for just below the asking price, Goss said. When the client went to buy in the condo market, he had “an abundance of choice,” he added. The client was able to get $20,000 off the list price of his new place, which had been on the market for more than 60 days, according to Goss. Summer is traditionally a slower time for the industry, so there is often a yearly drop in sales between June

ble for 15 weeks of EI medical benefits. Her long-term disability wouldn’t kick in until after her benefits had run out, and there was a waiting period for the disability benefits. She would, in effect, be without any financial resources during a period when she was battling a life-threatening disease. If a person is laid off from their job, they are eligible for up to 52 weeks of EI benefits. But if they are stricken with a disease that renders them incapable of working, they only get 15 weeks. Now, of course, the government is

hoping that employers and unions collectively ensure that a measure of benefits and/or wages bridge the EI period until some form of disability benefits kick in. But most workers are left short during this period. That’s simply unacceptable. Surely, we can do better than this. The EI medical benefits must be extended, or government needs to ensure that employers provide adequate disability plans to help people when they are at their most vulnerable. It’s the right thing to do.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Opposition crucial to democracy

Dear Editor:

Re: Is opposition always better? (Editor’s Letter, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 11). You ask if opposition is always better – and you equivocate in your answer. You note that opposition politicians too often only shovel sand into the gears of government or act out of personal, petty or private interests. (Of course the same, and more, can be said of government politicians, especially given their apparent easy access to public cash.) Perhaps your question would be better phrased as: Is elected responsible opposition always better?” I say “yes.” I cite as evidence the actions of the past provincial government drawn from a legislature nearly monopolized by the B.C. Liberals. Do you recall the legal

references to the Supreme Court of Canada under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as Premier Campbell arbitrarily rewrote public sector union contracts? This Charter and that court are Canadians’ last line of defence against arbitrary action by those who claim to govern in their names. How exactly does Mayor Corrigan’s recent attempt to have the RCMP and civic workers arbitrarily sweep homeless people from Central Park in the absence of elected opposition (an action apparently halted by reference to a Charter ruling) differ from Premier Campbell’s actions (later partially reversed by a Charter ruling)? The answer is: not so much. Must citizens prepare to sue Burnaby as their response to arbitrary action or incompetence at city hall? Surely it would be better if Mayor Corrigan had recognized voices questioning his proposed actions Opposition Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Opposition is necessary continued from page 6

from inside the council chamber; either BCA councillors or councillors from other parties acting in the public interest. In closing, I urge you and NOW readers to reflect upon the truism that electoral democracy (with multi-party legislatures) is the worst possible form of government; until alternatives are considered (anarchy, monarchy, theocracy, etc.). The daily news from China, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Russia, Rwanda, and too many other nations, stands in witness to this point. The “democracy” now practised in public by our one-party council reinforces this truth. The practical differences between many of the places cited above and Canada is that we have a free press and the certainty that, from time to time, the right to exercise power will be contested in free and fair elections pitting well-organized groups against each other. As long as Burnaby has only one party occupying all the council seats, the only difference we have here is a relatively free press. Surely you and your colleagues in the media would like some company in the defence of the public interest! G. Bruce Friesen, Burnaby

Parents need more help Dear Editor:

My daughter, Charlotte, is 25 now, and she has Down syndrome. Your article on Marc Adams and Wendy Seet and their daughter Kate (Parents protest lack of support, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 11) reminded me of how difficult it is to raise a special needs child. Everything is more difficult, and things that other children do automatically require a lot of training and supervision. It seemed to me that raising a child with Down syndrome was about four times as difficult as raising our other

children. I am very disappointed but not surprised to read that the government is providing totally inadequate funding for special needs children. Unfortunately, not much has changed in the last 20 years. Charlotte’s mother fought the government to obtain adequate support for her. When she went to school, she had a teaching aide, and every year the school district tried to take the aide away or reduce Charlotte to half an aide, and each year her mother would fight them – on one occasion all the way to the superintendent of the school district, but she always succeeded in keeping her aide. Charlotte was able to attend regular school and, with the assistance of the teaching aide, graduated from secondary school. Mr. Adams is correct that the best environment for a Down child is alongside other kids in an inclusive environment. He is also right that Kate’s safety is at risk as Down children don’t have the same self-preservation instincts as other children and tend to wander away and get lost or go off with strangers if they are not watched by someone. Mr. Adams and Ms. Seet did not choose to have a Down child; it was a random occurrence, and they and others like them can’t be left on their own to raise their child, it is just too difficult. They need help, and lots of it. In my opinion, the government has a moral obligation to provide timely and adequate assistance to such parents, and obviously they are failing to do so. Minster Mary Polak’s response that they have a finite budget, etc. is just not acceptable. I think that if enough people voice their concerns and put pressure on the government, they will be forced to do something about this disgraceful situation. Garth Evans, Burnaby

headlines over the years. The picture is not entirely gloomy, however. Agriculture Minister Steve Thomson seems to get that more has to be done to protect the ALR. Thomson, who comes from a farming family, is a former executive director of the B.C. Agriculture Council amd has emerged as one of the steadiest hands in the B.C. Liberal government. He has asked the new chair of the Agricultural Land Commission, Richard Bullock, to tour the province and meet with agri-

culture groups and other stakeholders to get a sense of the challenges faced by the commission. Bullock is supposed to file a report in October. Hopefully, what he discovers on his fact-finding tour will spur the B.C. government to not only restore the funding to the commission, but to take steps to stop prime farmland from being turned into blacktop. Now, there’s no question more housing and transportation networks will have to be built in the years ahead. And it’s more than likely that some

ALR land will form part of future treaties with First Nations bands. But Doyle’s report is a timely reminder that protecting our food supply should be of paramount importance. I suspect the NDP will make preserving the ALR a key part of its election platform come 2013. If that party does indeed gain power, it will be interesting to see if it takes a look back at the record of its predecessor in the 1970s to gain a sense of proper priorities.

HST’s fate to be decided by referendum Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A special committee of MLAs has decided to let the public vote on the fate of the HST. The decision came Monday, after the second meeting of the select standing committee on legislative initiatives, which had to decide between two options for the anti-HST petition: send the issue out for a provincewide vote or have MLAs vote in the legislature on a bill to annul the harmonized sales tax.

Richard Lee is the only Burnaby MLA who sits on the 10-member committee, where Liberals outnumber New Democrats six to four. The Liberals seemed to be leaning towards the provincewide vote, while the NDP was pushing for one in the legislature. Initiative votes can happen every three years; the next one is scheduled for September 2011. SFU public policy analyst Doug McArthur said the Fight HST campaign has a tough battle ahead of it to win a referendum. “I don’t think it’s an impossible

feat, but I do think it’s very, very hard. They’re going to have to run one heck of a campaign. The big thing is turning people out to vote,” he said. For an initiative vote to be successful, more than 50 per cent of the total number of registered voters in B.C. have to vote in favour of the initiative, and more than 50 per cent of the total number of registered voters for at least two-thirds of the electoral districts in B.C. have to vote in favour of the initiative. In the last provincial election, only 50 per cent of people bothered

to vote at all. McArthur said the referendum choice wasn’t surprising. He suspects the Liberals would fear losing some of their MLAs if there were a vote in the legislature with the spectre of recall also looming overhead. The long wait for a referendum means more time to convince the public of the HST’s merits, he added.

and September. “This summer is more typical of seasonal trends,” Goss said. “I expect it to pick up quite a bit in September.” Last year, the active spring season continued on into June and July, indicating to those in the industry that the housing slump that ran from December 2008 to May 2009 was over. Today, we’re slipping back

towards a buyer’s market, according to Jake Moldowan, president of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. “We’ve been in a seller’s market for quite awhile now,” he said. However, Greater Vancouver is on pace to hit about 35,000 sales this year, he said. The yearly average is typically 36,000 to 38,000. “We’re pretty close to an average year if the trend continues,” Moldowan said. “We always cau-

tion that averages are much better than taking a pinpoint.” The federal government’s introduction of tighter credit restrictions in April could be affecting sales, according to Cameron Muir, chief economist of the Real Estate Association of B.C. “It is pulling some of the purchasing power,” he said. While interest rates have gone down, there is a normalization of interest rates occurring, he said, and

he expects rates will increase over the next 18 months. Advance buying may have boosted the market in 2009, Muir said, with homebuyers buying earlier than they intended because of low mortgage rates and lower prices. Despite the slowdown, housing prices continued to rise in Burnaby. The median price for a detached home in the city was $803,500 last month, compared to $715,000 in August 2009.

The end of an era in Burnaby Taxidermy shop on the move to Richmond after 40 years of operation in the city Niki Hope

staff reporter

Burnabyites are going to have to trek out of the city for their bear rugs, stuffed animals, skulls and mounted fish from now on. After 40 years, Steve Kulash Taxidermy got the boot from its Kingsway location. The building – which the Kulash family leased on a month-by-month basis for four decades – was sold and the owner wants to renovate and bring in new tenants. So, it’s out with the old – and the dead – and in with the new. Stacey and Brian Kulash, the second generation of Kulash taxidermists, are moving the business to Richmond. On a recent visit to the shop, the current space is still cluttered with stuffed animals, but Stacey says they’ve already carted away six five-ton truckloads of stuff. Most of the larger pieces are gone, though a 15-foot crocodile sits stiffly on the floor. “I think that came from Africa,” Stacey says, when I ask about it. “Someone shot it and got it shipped here. We had that nailed on the wall.” In the dusty space, a mischievously grinning monkey, numerous fish and huge deer heads hang on the walls, patiently waiting for their turn to be moved. The business caters to hunters who want to preserve their prized prey, but it also provides rentals to the movie and TV industries. Their animals have appeared in Night at the Museum, 3,000 Miles to Graceland and TV shows like 21 Jumpstreet, MacGyver and Wise Guy. Their stuffed work was also part of a recent Museum of Vancouver taxidermy show, Ravishing Beasts. For Stacey, taxidermy is an art. He loves “making something look alive that was dead,” he says. It’s the only job Stacey’s ever had. He started when he was 10. His dad, Steve Kulash, was a welder-turned-taxidermist, who started taxidermy as a hobby out of his basement. When the police turned up on his door one day in the 1960s asking the senior Kulash about the skulls and prepping materials in his garbage, Steve decided to move the business out of his home. The first store – which sold taxidermy supplies like mannequins (which the animal skin or fur gets sewn onto) and eyes – was located at Hastings Street and Sperling Avenue in Burnaby. After a year, he moved to Kingsway. Steve passed away earlier this year at the age of 72. The elder Kulash worked

right up until the end. Steve passed his love of taxidermy on to his sons, and it’s an unconditional love. Stacey says the only time he gets queasy is when he has to work with a bird that’s been shot in the head. “’Cause that makes it kind of messy,” he says, laughing. Birds are tough to work with, he says. “To do a bird mount, it takes a lot longer – (it’s) more finicky, you got more feathers to deal with,” Stacey explains. Another reality of dealing with the dead is the smell. The stench, at times, has been so strong that Stacey has had to wear a respirator. “It’s a career – I’ve been doing it all my life. I’m an outdoorsman too. I go hunting, fishing. I like hearing stories about hunting trips,” he said. “It’s remembering your trip, your adventure in the woods.” Stacey has memberships in hunting clubs, where he likes hearing “stories and lies” from other hunters.

The animals Stacey preserves are tangible reminders of those stories and are a literal testimony to a hunter’s “great catch.” But Stacey says the animals he works with are rarely hunted for sport. “Say you are a hunter, you shot a bear, you’ll skin it right away, then take the meat out. People go hunting for food,” he said. “Bear meat is really good; it’s almost like pork. It’s just a little darker in colour.” The stoutly built 42-year-old looks like a hunter. He has bushy greying hair, a thick moustache and a five-o’clock shadow that’s working overtime. He’s spent the last few hot summer days hauling animal statues out of the store to the truck. Normally, this time of year is busy for the Kulashes. The taxidermy business is seasonal, Stacey says. “During the summer, I would have been mounting a lot of stuff until September – that’s when the hunting season starts again,” he says.

Dealing with dead animals, making skinned rugs and catering to hunters doesn’t exactly put the shop in good stead with animal-rights activists. Over the years, they’ve had their share of backlash. The store was once stink-bombed, the locks have been glued and they’ve had a bomb threat. Still, they have carried on for 40 years. The Kulash brothers have had some good news recently. A couple of TV production companies – including one owned by legendary, tongue-wagging KISS demon Gene Simmons – have been sniffing around the taxidermy shop and kicking around the possibility of a reality show on the shop. “Sort of like the Orange County Choppers, but with taxidermy,” says Stacey. If there is a TV show, it will take place in a new shop and a new city because soon enough, the Kulash brothers will say goodbye to Burnaby. Unfortunately, their dream to keep their longtime location open was one thing they couldn’t preserve.

K’Naan coming for SFU benefit

SFU students managed to get K’Naan as the leading act for an upcoming benefit concert at the Burnaby campus on Sept. 21. Kayode Fatoba is president of I Vision One World, which is organizing a fundraiser to help send students in developing countries to university. When Fatoba contacted the Somali-Canadian hip-hop artist, he wasn’t expecting K’Naan to get onboard, but he agreed to do the show while stopping in Vancouver on a world tour. “I was very excited,” Fatoba said. K’Naan is well-known for Wavin’ Flag, the official theme song from the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. But besides that, he’s an internationally acclaimed hip-hop artist with roots in Mogadishu and Toronto. The concert is on Sept. 21, for World Peace Day, and runs from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets are $30. Anyone can attend, but only SFU students can buy the tickets. See www.ivisiononeworld.org/peaceday2010. For more on this story, see Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www.burnabynow.com.

Securing information and data is of critical concern to businesses of all sizes, and cloud computing is leading the way. Cloud computing is internet-based computing where users can access shared resources, software and information on demand, like an electricity grid. Burnaby-based managed service provider, Imogo, is providing leadership in the area of cloud computing and backs up data in real time which can be instantly removed from a phone or computer if a threat occurs. “Cloud computing is the cost effective security solution that many businesses have been looking for,” says Stewart Irvine, CEO and founder of Imogo. “Not only does a cloud hold data securely, users of this system avoid capital expenditure costs on hardware, software and services when they pay a provider only for the services they use.” Imogo runs seminars for businesses that want to understand the benefits of cloud computing.

The annual Burnaby Board of Trade golf tournament was held on Thursday September 9th, 2010 and was a resounding success. Through the amazing generosity of golfers, sponsors and businesses, the BBOT broke all previous records in terms of money raised. $10,665 went directly to the Pacific Assistance Dog Society (PADS) which included Scotiabank’s $5000 commitment. With the sun shining, each hole provided a new surprise much to the delight of the 144 golfers out on the course. From prime rib sandwiches, burger sliders, sangria, snacks and wide variety of appetizing drinks and food to free swag and hockey nets for target practice, each hole was a new experience.

This will provide comprehensive and high standards of protection for investors and recipients in both countries.” The Burnaby Board of Trade is developing the opportunities created by the BBOT’s presentation through ongoing dialogue with delegates from the Guangdong Trade and Investment Mission.

Celebrating 40 years!

40 years of passion, curiosity and success New college strategic plan charts a bold course for Douglas

When Douglas College ﬁrst threw open its doors in September 1970, no one could have foreseen that its graduates would go on to become political leaders, business moguls, sports stars – even celebrated actors and musicians. After all, just getting the doors open in the ﬁrst place proved to be quite a challenge.

▲ (Left) Construction on the New Westminster campus started in 1979 and took over two years to complete.

In the early 1960s, after the provincial government recommended the creation of community colleges across B.C., two competing lobby groups arose in the Lower Mainland and began vying for two different institutions. It took more than three years of often bitter cross-community sparring and the intervention of the provincial government to convince the two factions to set aside their differences and unite to form a single college. In 1969, the name Douglas College was chosen for the new school. But without a campus and with a capital budget of only $950,000, where would the students go? College administration was left scrambling to cobble together space

in existing school facilities, church basements, warehouses – anything that could serve as a classroom. By Fall of 1970, the college had been able to secure enough classroom space at more than 20 locations across the region, including a smattering of portables on a dusty patch of land at the corner of Eighth Avenue at McBride in New Westminster. Douglas College was ﬁnally able to open with 85 faculty members and 1,600 students. Of course, that was then. Today, Douglas College spans two major campuses: the New Westminster Campus (which opened in 1982) and the David Lam Campus in Coquitlam, as well as a Training Centre in Surrey. Every year, about 20,000 students from across the Lower Mainland and around the world come to Douglas for post-secondary education: Bachelor’s degrees, university transfer courses, career programs in health care and human services, business, and creative arts, as well as short-term, non-credit courses for career or personal development. Douglas

About our name. . . Douglas College is named after Sir James Douglas, one of British Columbia’s most inﬂuential leaders. Born in Guyana in 1803, the son of a free Creole woman and a Scottish plantation owner, James Douglas was a motivated self starter who placed a high value

on education. Overcoming many obstacles, he worked his way up in the Hudson’s Bay Company and married Amelia Connolly, a Cree-Irish woman who became his life-long partner.

At the height of his career, James Douglas transitioned into politics, becoming the ﬁrst governor

has 750 instructors who are highly regarded for bringing both academic rigor and their own real-world experience to the classroom to help students ignite their potential. And after 40 years of success, Douglas College is set to chart a new course. Later this month, the College will unveil an ambitious new strategic plan devoted to achieving the bold vision of positioning Douglas as the largest and most progressive baccalaureate degreegranting college in B.C. Thousands of students have passed through the classrooms and corridors of Douglas College over the last 40 years. Thousands of students have gone on to achieve their goals in work and life and made a lasting, positive impact on their communities. Douglas College is proud to be part of the fabric of the community and an important contributor to the economic and social foundation of the Lower Mainland. For more on Douglas College programs, visit douglascollege. ca

of British Columbia. Today he is considered one of the province’s founding fathers. The story of James and Amelia Douglas is in many ways a modern one and reﬂective of the multicultural tapestry that has become the Lower Mainland. Douglas College is proud to bear the Douglas name.

A message from the president College changing to meet the needs of future learners

Douglas College has been providing high quality, accessible education in the Lower Mainland for 40 years.

are second to none. We offer a professional, friendly, respectful, and supportive learning environment.

Today, our mission is to provide a diverse community of learners with the enhanced skills and knowledge required to succeed in a rapidly changing society. Over the past several months, we’ve held frank discussions with students, community leaders and employDr. Scott McAlpine, President ees about the future of education at Douglas College. Our new strategic plan presents a modern vision for a progressive College that will give tomorrow’s learners the knowledge and skills needed to participate in the emerging information-based economy.

Another advantage is our rich connections in the communities we serve.

Our outlook is increasingly international. Our pathways into, within and out of Douglas are becoming more open and ﬂexible, and better connected to other top institutions in BC and beyond. And we are adapting to meet the needs of new Canadians and older learners whose careers are in transition. Three great advantages make us incredibly optimistic about our future. One is our expertise – 40 years’ worth – in delivering a high quality learning experience both inside and outside the classroom. Our faculty and our support staff

And our biggest advantage may be our incredible diversity – I’m sure you would be hard pressed to ﬁnd a more diverse college or university community anywhere in Canada. That diversity represents a multiplicity of perspectives, and we’ll need to hear and consider all of them as we continue to adapt to meet the changing needs of the communities we serve.

brating 40 years of success! Then and Now: Douglas Grads really soar LANCE RYAN

Then: White Rock native Lance Ryan’s transformation from guitar o to heroic tenor sounds like a libretto from one of the agnerian operas he performs: a young student goes on a quest to please his mother, only to find hidden talents which will take him on a journey beyond his wildest dreams. Ryan’s journey to center stage in the great European opera houses started at the back of a lecture hall in Douglas College in fall 1989. He was 18, straight out of high school and olled as a guitar major in the Music program. But he was equired to take choir – something that struck a sour note with him and his guitar classmates. “All we guitar fret-board fiends sat in the last row of the choir oup, begrudgingly fulfilling our required ensemble credits,” says Ryan. “My enthusiasm was not at an all time high when it came to choir participation.” The lack of enthusiasm resulted in a poor grade, even though his instructor noted Ryan had some vocal talent. The low mark ompted Ryan’s mother, Gloria Clinker, to suggest some private singing lessons. The voice lessons started Ryan thinking seriously about a singing career. He started combing the College’s recording collection, listening to other singers and using the practice ooms. He went on to finish his Bachelor of Music degree at UBC, and his interest became a passion. Now: Since his stellar German debut as Otello at Städtische Bühnen Münster in 2005, Lance Ryan has been one of the most sought after tenors in Europe. His performance as Siegfried in both Siegfried and Götterdämmerung from Wagner’s Ring Cycle in 2006-07 was widely hailed by critics. In 2010 and 2011, Ryan will hit the stages of Amsterdam Opera, Oper Köln, the Bayreuther Festspiele, La Scala, L’Opéra National du Rhin and El Liceu in Barcelona, as well as a very special homecoming performance at Douglas College on December 13, 2010.

TRICK GALLAGHER

Then: Back in 1988, Chilliwack’s Patrick Gallagher hadn’t quite gured out who he was. He had gone from being a good student to simply gooﬁng around after his parents’ divorce. He olled in the Theatre Program at Douglas College to, as he puts it, “get my parents off my ass.” But he ended up getting a lot more. Now: ou may recognize Gallagher as short-shorts wearing football

coach, Ken Tanaka, from the hit musical comedy series Glee. Gallagher also has a recurring role as a bloodsucker in HBO’s Southern gothic vampire series True Blood. He has also had roles in the Vancouver-shot television staples Da Vinci’s Inquest and Da Vinci’s City Hall, along with the Academy Awardwinning feature ﬁlms Master and Commander and Sideways. He even came to life as Attila the Hun in both popular Night at the Museum ﬁlms, going as far as inventing his character’s gibberish language. Of his experience at Douglas College, Gallagher says he learned something of immense value to any actor. “I learned the joy of performing there,” he says. “That’s the biggest thing I took from my time at Douglas.”

MAHSHID AND HOOMAN

Then: Like many new immigrants, Mahshid G. and Hooman S. faced their share of challenges when they came to Canada from Iran in 2007. They had no family or friends in their new country. And despite their education as medical doctors, they had no job prospects. At the same time, Mahshid was pregnant with the couple’s son. “When I look back at that time, I feel like we did an impossible thing,” says Hooman. “When we came here, everything is new: the country, the language. Even things like grocery shopping and banking are difficult.” “It was hard to go from a high level in your society to a situation where you are jobless,” says Mahshid. “It’s worth it in the end, because it’s a better life here for us.” Now: Shortly after coming to Canada, they discovered the Training Group at Douglas College’s Skills Connect for Immigrants Program, which helps new Canadians find employment in their field of expertise. Today, they are doing medical residencies through the Ministry of Health’s International Medical Graduates of British Columbia Program. Hooman is doing a five year orthopedic surgery residency, while Mahshid is working in family medicine for two years. Skills Connect for Immigrants offers a range of services, including career development workshops and one-on-one sessions with career consultants at sites throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. “Skills Connect was a huge help for both of us,” says Mahshid. “When we began the exams that are part of the licensing process for international medical grads, I was so busy studying and taking care of our baby son that I couldn’t take a job. The program helped pay a portion of the costs of our exams

and helped me access a child care subsidy, which allowed us to focus on our studies.” “We spent a lot of time with our counselors doing mock interviews and learning things like how to dress for interviews and how to shake hands, things that seem simple but were very important for us to learn,” she adds. “They were very experienced and helpful and always ready to help us find a suitable job.” The Coquitlam couple says they understand the difficulties skilled immigrants face when it comes to finding appropriate employment, but recognize that many of these challenges come with the territory. “It’s frustrating at first, but when you enter the system you can understand how different the society and cultures are and you need to learn those differences,” says Hooman. “It can be difficult, but if you work hard, the opportunity to be successful will open up for you. We’re very grateful to Canada and its people for giving us this opportunity.”

BBOT to lead third immigrant integration tour

Third installment of 18-month project focuses on Accounting and Finance sectors

Following the success of two immigrant integration tours and Burnaby’s first Employers Forum on Diversity, the Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) and the Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table (BIPT) will be leading 20 internationally trained professionals to three Burnaby businesses on September 22. This is the third of six tours planned throughout the 18-month labour market initiative called the Breaking Down the Barriers project. Each tour focuses on different industries, the previous tours covering

health and engineering. The upcoming tour will focus on finance and accounting and will bring new immigrant professionals to the offices of BC Hydro, KPMG and a major bank to engage in an open dialogue in an effort to create a more welcoming and inclusive business environment in Burnaby and New Westminster. Watch videos of the past tours by searching for Burnaby Board of Trade on You Tube. This project is made possible through funding from the Government of Canada and the Province of B.C.

MOTORING SUZUKI OWNERS Make yourself an North Van Suzuki informed consumer Suzuki Service Dealer is your nearest authorized

CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a mechanics’ ethics question for you. I drive a 2009 Nissan Rogue. I love this car. I was getting ready for a road trip, and I realized that there were three minor recalls on the car and that it was time for the 30,000-mile service. So I take the car to the dealership, the guy tells me the service package they offer and then charges me $500. I tell my wife, who gets upset that I need $500 worth of service on a relatively new car. I call the guy back, and he tells me that this is the “premium” service package and that they already started so I can’t change it. I ask him why he only offered me the premium service package, and he says that I didn’t ask for any other service packages. Did my dealership’s mechanic take me for a ride, or does he not need to tell me the options? I now know that I can download all my suggested maintenance requirements, broken down by mileage, from the Nissan website, and I plan to do this from now on. I guess I feel this is partially my fault for not being an informed consumer, but I also think the mechanic should have explained the “premium” service to me in more detail. What do you think? – Dave

TOM: I think you’re exactly right, Dave. Your mechanic was not entirely honest with you and you should have been a more informed consumer. RAY: Your wife also is right. A car with 30,000 miles on it should need almost nothing – certainly not $500 worth of regular maintenance. TOM: A lot of dealerships make a lot of money by adding extra services to the scheduled maintenance routines. You have the right to decline these extra flushes, inspections and fuzzy-dice rotations. But in order to do that, you need to know what is required. RAY: That information is available not only online but also in the back of your owner’s manual (that’s the rectangular thing wrapped in cellophane in the bottom of your glove box, Dave). TOM: You also have the right to take your car to someplace other than the dealer for its scheduled maintenance, even if it’s still under warranty. Simply present any mechanic you like with the list of required maintenance from the back of your owner’s manual and ask for an estimate. You can compare that price to what your dealer is charging for the same services, and decide from there. RAY: We also recommend that customers ask whoever does the service to stamp or sign the spot in the back of the manual that indicates that the scheduled maintenance has been performed. You’ll probably never

need proof, but if you do have an engine warranty claim someday, it’s good to have that. TOM: And as far as your dealer is concerned, he was sleazy on two counts. First, he absolutely should have explained to you that there are several levels of service. Once he does that, he can take his best shot at persuading you to opt for the more expensive one. But the choice should be yours. The fact that he didn’t do that lands him squarely on our fecal roster. RAY: And second, when you called him and asked him to stop the work, he should have said, “I’ll have them switch you to the basic service, and even if they’ve already done some of the work, we’ll only charge you the lower price.” That could have earned your loyalty as a customer for years. But instead, he was more interested in taking in a few extra bucks today. TOM: But you also bear some responsibility, in this case, for being an uninformed consumer, Dave. Now you know better. So next time, you’ll not only go somewhere else for your service, but you’ll bring with you your Nissan-approved list. And maybe a couple of large friends with baseball bats.

Lakers one up on Salmonbellies

You’re never too old for ringette

’Bellies bounce back in Mann Cup with perfect powerplay in Game 2 Tom Berridge sports editor

It could be a long series. That’s the consensus after Saturday’s Game 2 of the 101st edition of the Mann Cup senior A lacrosse championships in Peterborough, Ont. But the Peterborough Lakers made the mountain a little bit steeper to climb, claiming Game 3 with a 10-7 win Monday. New Westminster tied the series up at one game apiece on Saturday, following a 10-7 victory over the hometown Lakers. The Salmonbellies lost the opening match 13-11 in overtime after outscoring Peteborough in the first two periods. It was an ominous sign for the B.C. champions, who had lost four straight overtime encounters to the Brampton Excelsiors in a storied seven-game series at last year’s Mann Cup in New Westminster. But it was the younger ‘Bellies who showed their legs in the later going of Game 2, pulling away from Peterborough in the third period on four straight goals by game stars Jordan Hall and Cliff Smith, and a pair of power-play markers by rookie righthander Alex Gajic. However, Game 3 was another matter. Peterborough scored on its first two power play opportunities in the opening period and held a 4-0 advantage before the first 20 minutes was done. The Lakers held a 6-1 lead heading into the final frame with only Craig Conn finding a way to beat Peterborough goalie Mike Thompson. New Westminster found some magic to start the third. Alex Gajic sparked a five-goal rally in the

goals in the game. In the overtime, Shawn Evans and Daryl Gibson both scored in the opening two minutes with unassisted tallies to swing the advantage in Peterborough’s favour. Smith tallied a hat trick for the Salmonbellies, while Jordan McBride, Hall and third star Conn scored a goal and three assists apiece. Martin Cummings also

Ringette has a place for you whatever your age and background. The Burnaby/New Westminster assocation will be holding a second masters development program for adults over the age of 30, who are keen to enjoy the winter sport the younger kids do. The program will get started this Saturday with a free introductory skate at Moody Park Arena. One of the returning players is 33-year-old New Westminster resident Kim Savory. “I had just so much fun,” said Savory, a former national team pistol shooter who took part at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. After hanging up the pistols, Savory went looking for another means to keep active and found ringette. “It was such a good level. I felt really comfortable,” Savory said, who dabbled in figure skating in her youth, but had never tried on hockey skates until last year. “They invite you in, it doesn’t matter what level you’re in. Everyone is passing the ring,” she said. Last year’s adult team plays will continue to play in an organized master’s

opening minute. Older brother Ilija Gajic then rattled off a natural hat trick, before Conn tied the game at sixes. But Peterborough found an answer, scoring three straight goals. The winner came from Game 1 hero Cory Vitarelli. Matt Roik took the loss in goal. “It was kind of a huge hole to go down 4-0 and then 6-1. Our shooting in the first and second periods was not our best stuff,” said Salmonbellies president and

general manager Dan Richardson. “Both our losses were when everybody played 20 minutes. When we play 60 minutes and five-on-five, we can beat them. … We’re not pushing any panic buttons.” In the opening game of the best-of-seven national championship series, New Westminster held a 9-7 lead heading into the third period before Vitarelli sparked a three-goal comeback to tie the contest with his first two of three

Big plays key to Knights’ win over Notre Dame Tom Berridge sports editor

Big plays and a bit of razzzle-dazzle gave the St. Thomas More Knights a 29-13 exhibition victory over Vancouver independent rival Notre Dame Jugglers at Burnaby Lake Sports ComplexWest Friday. STM’s Marwin Empainado took the opening kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown that set the tone for the new-look Knights in their opening game of the B.C. high school football AAA varsity season. The Knights used a hurry-up offence to good effect, racking up

nearly 300 yards of total offence, including 186 through the air to knockoff their Vancouver rival. STM quarterback Mikey Carney was good on 13 of 17 passes while running for 20 yards in the second half. “We like to move the ball,” said Carney, who led the Knights to the junior varsity final last season. “Fitness is a big part of our hurry-up offence. ... It really pays off in situations like this.” Carney credited STM’s mobile front line of Luca Molinari, Terrance Cadiente, Joseph Taculod, Carlson Tacson and Konrad Maludzinski with keeping the Juggler D off balance.

“We definitely have more speed than size. They kicked our butts last year. We had to erase that memory and set the tone for the future,” Carney added. Ross Hilliam was Carney’s favourite receiver on Friday. The 6-1 senior caught four passes for 140 yards. The best of the bunch was a highlight 44-yard TD strike from Carney just before half time that proved to be the game-winner. Empainado scored a second touchdown on a short run in the opening quarter, finishing off a big pass-and-run play from Carney and Hilliam that went 53 yards to the Notre Dame two-

yard line. Empainado had a third score in the final frame, scampering into the end zone from 11 yards out. The Jugglers kept it close in the first half, replying to both Knight scores with TDs from Burnaby’s Matt Johnson on a short run and Shane Devlin on a 13-yard pass, both after long drives. But the STM defence came up big after that, stopping Notre Dame on downs with a big fourth-and-one stand inside their own 30. The Knights kept the pressure on Notre Dame pivot Demetrius Wallace as the game wore on,

sacking the 5-9 senior on three occasions in the second half, including a pair by one-half of the gold-rush twins, Aiden Golding. STM’s Kyle Madden also had a big game, piling up 65 yards of total offence, while leading the Knight D at linebacker. While happy with the win in its first game of the season, STM head coach Bernie Kully said they will have to work on eliminating the mistakes and turnovers that gave Notre Dame back the ball. “We got work on being more consistent, that’s the big thing,” said Kully.

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words Emmanuel Arceneaux - 84 I’m from the south – I was born and raised in Alexandria, Louisiana. As a guy who has always been pretty athletic, I began playing football in high school and also ran track. In fact, I did so well at that level that I was named an all-district wide receiver and free safety and was also an honourable mention place kicker in my senior year. When I graduated from high school, I decided that attending college at Mississippi’s Alcorn State University would give me the best opportunity to get a post-secondary education while realizing my dream to play football at the next level. After four years with the Braves, I seized the opportunity to head north to Canada to join the Lions Emmanuel Arceneaux joined youngsters on the field this as a rookie guy in their receiving corps. I had a great time summer during the BC Lions’ annual Timbits Camp. Photos courtesy BC Lions in my first season which motivated me to train even harder when I went back home during the winter months, in addition to working as a substitute teacher and track coach at my former high school while mentoring local kids as part of Alexandria’s Boys and Girls Club. Now that I’m in my second season, I still can’t believe that I get to come to work every day to play the game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to win a championship with this team. Win or lose, the guys in our locker room are a close group and I’m proud of our accomplishments on and off the field. As a kid who dreamed of being a professional athlete from a young age, I know what it’s like to look to others for inspiration. For that reason, I love taking part in the Lions’ community efforts during the season, particularly the club’s annual Timbits Camp. I feel proud knowing that I could be teaching football basics and the importance of being active to a young kid who one day could use his or her athletic ability to secure a university scholarship and a bright future. As a guy who comes from a small town, I know that it’s up to the local community to invest in their kids in order to ensure they succeed in life.

Mistakes cost grid Clan first win Clan men win 13th Challenge Cup SFU SOCCER

Tom Berridge sports editor

Simon Fraser University continued its dominance over rival University of B.C. in the annual men’s soccer Challenge Cup. The Clan blanked the Thunderbirds 2-0 on Saturday to win the cup for the eighth time in the past 10 years, and now hold a 13-10-4 all-time edge in the series. Derrick Bassi and Lucas Ferritto both scored goals for the 4-0 Clan. Bassi opened the scoring well into the second half, tallying in the 80th minute after finishing off a Sang Hwang free kick. Ferritto finished off the T-Birds with a low strike from inside the penalty area following a Clan counterattack. SFU keeper Hide Ozawa stopped two late UBC chances off headers from Tyson Keam and Ashley Ankiewicz, but neither were of a dangerous

A pair of costly mistakes could have cost the Simon Fraser University its first win in the NCAA Division II football. The Southern Oregon University Raiders converted touchdowns on two miscues – one at the end of the first half and the other on the opening kickoff of the second – that proved the difference in the game. Southern Oregon defeated the varsity Clan 31-18 Saturday at Terry Fox Field, its second loss of the season. With 48 seconds to play in the second quarter, punter Jeff Biles was put under pressure and Southern Oregon got the ball on SFU’s 44-yard line. The visitors eventually scored to go up 7-6 just before half time ended. On the third-quarter restart Gabe Ephard fumbled the kickoff, and the Raiders recovered at the Clan 25-yard line. Five plays later, Southern Oregon scored to make it 14-6. Ronald Young scored SFU’s first NCAA touchdown on a one-yard plunge to give the Clan a first-half lead. “We missed some tackles, we did a very poor

nature. “It’s the soccer equivalent of the Shrum Bowl, and I am extremely pleased we were able to get this result, considering we were misssing three key players,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch in a Clan press release. “It was an incredibly gritty performance, particularly by our back four, and it’s great to have our trophy back.” The match produced few scoring chances for either side. The first clearcut chance of the match came in the 71st minute when SFU’s Gagan Josan rocketed a shot from 20 metres out that was pushed over the bar by UBC goalie Zach Kalthoff. SFU will play its first NCAA Division II Great Northwest conference match against Montana State Billings University on Sept. 23.

job on kickoff returns, and we gave away the game,” said SFU head coach Dave Johnson in a Clan press release. “We basically fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. I thought our intensity was good, but when we make that many mistakes, we aren’t going to win games.” SFU got its second TD in the third quarter

on a 27-yard touchdown pass to Taylor Wilkinson from quarterback Quinton Agosta. B.J. Bryant caught a short TD pass from Agosta late in the game. Agosta finished with 19 completions for 167 yards and two TDs. Ephard carried the ball 15 times for 152 of SFU’s 211 yards. SFU stopped Southern Oregon on its first two

drives from scrimmage on interceptions. Nigel Palma and Kyle Miller both picked off Raider QB Mike McDonald to stop promising drives. On defence, Andrew Marshall led the Clan with seven tackles, including one for a loss. This Saturday, SFU travels to Monmouth, Oregon in a rematch with Western Oregon.

MINOR FOOTBALL

Atom Lions win opener The Burnaby Lions atom football team won their season opener over the North Surrey T-Birds last weekend. The Lions blanked the T-Birds 33-0 at Bear Creek Park behind a two-touchdown effort from slotback Michael Simone. Quarterback Chris Kelly and backs Ryan Helliwell and Vasco Repole also contributed six-point scores to the Burnaby scoresheet. Running back Diether Kugler was neasrly unstoppable, punishing the North Surrey defence with his hard running in the second half. The Lions also received solid efforts up front from offensive linemen Ryan Popowich and Max Morello. On defence, linebacker Mayen Gor made a key fumble recovery that stopped a promising T-Bird drive in the second

league this season, while the development team will take part in a learnto-play program that will run approximately 10 to 12 weeks. “We’ve made some fantastic friendships. It’s more about the locker room and spending time together,” said Nagel, who initially spearheaded the adult ringette program in Burnaby and New Westminster. “I think it’s something moms and adult women are looking for. They want to have fun and be fit.” Susanna Chow, who is coordinating this season’s development program, already has approximately 15 women interested in coming out. The 44-year-old mother of two said playing the game herself has given her a greater appreciation for what her kids are going through. “We all come in at the same level and that’s the beauty of it. We want to have fun, that’s the way we promote it with the kids,” said Chow. The free adult skate is part of the association’s promotion at Moody Park Arena on Saturday that invites old and young to give the fast-moving sport a try. The youth component starts at 3:15 p.m. at the New West rink. The association is particularly interested in players in the under-nine and u-12 age groups. The adult-only skate follows at 4:45 p.m. and is open to all, regardless of experience. All that is required is a pair of skates and a helmet.

Career opportunities in construction

Since 2008, construction has become the largest employer in the goods sector of BC industry, moving ahead of manufacturing to become the largest employer in this sector, providing jobs to over 200,000 people in B.C. Growing populations have put a lot of pressure on the existing housing market as well as other types of infrastructure including day care, schools, colleges, roads, bridges, etc. Naturally, new housing and other infrastructure must be built in order to meet the needs of an increasing population. In the months followoing the 2010 Olympics, the federal and provincial governments have committed a great deal of funding to support new and ongoing projects such as public housing developments and road, bridge and highway improvements in an effort to create jobs help jumpstart the BC economy. When we hear the term Construction Work, some people still imagine a worker at the construction site with a shovel and a hammer. But in 2010, this is no longer the case. People must be trained professionally to function within this diversiﬁed industry. Necessary skills include the practical application of AutoCAD, Architectural Design and Drafting, Civil Engineering

Wrangle yourself a great job.

Infrastructure Design and Construction, Mechanical Design and Modeling, Electrical Design and Drafting, etc. Careers in construction are varied and include trades people, contractors, business and administration, workers in applied sciences and related activities including urban planners, architects, engineers, construction estimators, building inspectors and other similar occupations. The skills necessary to become employed in this important sector can be gained by participating in job-speciﬁc training programs. Vancouver Central College www.vancollege.com
