May is child
care month

Ihe Capilano College Child Care

Centre’s new facility has now
been open for 18 months. “In this
time, we’ve continued to meet our
mandate which states that 75 per cent
of our clientele must be children of
College students,” says the Centre’s
manager, Janet MacDonald. “This is
something I don’t think too many
people at the College know.

“To celebrate child care month,
we’re going to invite all employees to
drop by for an ice-cream cone,” Janet
adds. ““We’ll let everyone know when
that will be.” As an additional treat, on
Monday, May 4, Maintenance
employee Bill McCallion brought
some farm animals to the College for a
one-day visit.

New bike path
opens at Child
Care Centre

he Child Care Centre officially

opened a new “over the river and
through the wood,” bike path. The path
was a wish that came true thanks to the
generous talent and labor of Landscape
Horticulture instructor, Rob Welsh, and
his students.

The children celebrated this long-
awaited event by decorating anything
they could push, pull, drag, or ride.
After an official ribbon cutting
ceremony, the path was opened with a
very musical and colorful parade of
decorated ride-um toys. The children
are happy with this enjoyable added
attraction.

Thanks again to Rob and his students.
