Power hits two decades CLASS ACT

NIKI HOPE
he Power program, a secondary school program in the New Westminster school district, celebrates its 20th anniversary on Feb. 21, from 4 to 8 p.m. The unique learning program is open to all Lower Mainland students, ages 16 to 18, and incorporates academics, career exploration and work experience opportunities. “It’s relationship-based. For example, each of our students has a focus teacher,” Jim Russell, a teacher, said. “The focus teacher is the person who meets with them on a regular basis, talks about academics as well as maybe what’s happening outside of school, whether that be a job search, whether that be
family, whatever issues are happening.” The program offers a variety of structured and self-paced courses each following the prescribed B.C. Ministry of Education curriculum, and students take all of the required courses for their high school diploma. The school also offers a year-round calendar. The school’s annual graduation is always an emotional and interesting event, Russell said, particularly for students who didn’t ever expect to make it to graduation. Russell estimates that about 65 per cent come from out of district. For more information, visit the New Westminster school district’s website at http://district.sd40.bc.ca. The program is located at 1001 Columbia St., in downtown New Westminster.

’Boro: Transportation study planned ◗ continued from page 1
transportation study of the traffic impacts of the development. Corsie said it’s not anticipated that the site will generate any traffic problems. “It’s a heavy industrial zone,” he said. “This is more of a light industrial use.” Bev Grieve, the City of New Westminster’s manager of planning, said Port Metro Vancouver isn’t required to get development permits from the city for the project, but consults with the city regarding off-site works and infrastructure matters. “It’s federal jurisdiction,” Grieve said. “We are in discussions regarding things such as access.”
In 2008, Port Metro Vancouver officials stated the site was an important part of its strategy to acquire an additional 1,092 hectares of industrial land over the next 25 years. The property sold for $30.1 million. Corsie said Port Metro Vancouver was able to purchase the site for a “very attractive” price because of the economics of the time and the mill’s financial situation. He said the site had some “positive attributes,” including being 50 acres in size, located on the river and in an area served by railroads, centrally located in the region and a reasonable distance from the port authority’s four container terminals.
