Justin Trudeau, chair of the board
of directors of Katimavik, visited
Capilano College on February 3

to meet with Global Stewardship
students and sign an educational
agreement. The agreement between
Capilano College and Katimavik,
Canada’s leading national youth
volunteer service program, will
recognize the Katimavik program
for academic credit. “Anyone who

has graduated from a Katimavik
program will be recognized for credit
in two Global Stewardship courses
at Capilano College,” says program
coordinator, Cam Sylvester.

“This new agreement will apply

to students coming into the
Global Stewardship program in
September 2005.”

Report from Ed Council

Submitted by Dr. Frank Harris

At the February meeting, Education
Council gave approval in principle
to the Post Baccalaureate Citation
in Strategic Tourism Leadership.
Council received reports from Theatre
Arts, Music Therapy, McRae Institute
of International Management,

and Labour Studies, and referred
them to the budget committee.
Council agreed that the College
planning committee should invite
administrators responsible for

key planning initiatives (space and
utilization, professional development,
environment, student life, and
technology) to meet and discuss
process and progress. The revised

Institutional Service Plan for 2005
to 2008 was referred to the College
planning committee. Changes to the
plan include mention of the accredi-
tation process, the BC Centre for
Tourism Leadership and Innovation,
located at the College’s Squamish
campus (without any provincial
funding), the proposed Film Centre
on the north campus (for which
funding is being sought), the
donation of land on the Sunshine

Coast, and the proposed development

of a new campus at Squamish.

The College budget shows an increase

of less than 1% for the coming year.

Justin Trudeau and Cam Sylvester form
a winning partnership.

Saving lives
on campus

Capilano College has taken

a positive step towards saving
the lives of its employees and
students with the purchase

of an automated external
defibrillator (AED) unit. The new
equipment will provide faster
access to early defibrillation
and help to increase survival
rates from sudden cardiac arrest
(SCA). First aid and security
personnel on campus have been
trained to perform defibrillation,
along with three College
employees, Mary Ciccone,
Geoffrey Hicks and Leslie
Walsh, who will be used as AED
backup responders.
