What is a Community College?
It is merely another very necessary advance
providing
our children with an education, to
in
fit them to survive and grow in our present
society.: - ::. �-

COST TO THE TAXPAYER

Years ago an elementary education was ac­
cepted as sufficient. Later, graduation from a
secondary school was �cceptable in our economy.
A very few students went on to unive:rslty, and
entered the professional field.

The North and West Vancouver taxpayer with a home
valued at $25,000 will pay about $7 per year for the
college while it is housed in West Vancou�r Secondary
School.
Sechelt and Howe Sound with the same value home
would pay $4 per year. For a $12,000 home in these areas,
cost would be only $2.
If college had to acquire a campus and buildings in
1973 to serve 2,000 students, cost would be $25 for the
North and West Vancouv:er home and $7 for Sechelt and
Howe Sound.

- Today,
this
concept is not good enough.
For
I
'
'
�
generations we have said that one of the commitments of democracy is that each individual
is entitled to the opportunity for the fullest
development of whatever talent and potential
he or she possesses.

TO THE PUPIL-

A community college is a two-year academic
transfer program equivalent to the first two
y�ars of university. Students who graduate
transfer into our universities.
