College Week held

November 16 to 22 is the first national
College Week, an event organized by the
Association of Canadian Community Colleges
(ACCC). The aim of College Week is to
raise public awareness about the role of
Colleges in Canada, and the theme this
year is "Canada's Colleges ... Touching
Lives." Although they date back only to
the 1960's, community colleges are now the
largest sector of publicly supported post-
secondary education in Canada, both in
terms of the number of people enrolled in
them, and of the facilities available to
the public. The ACCC estimates that they
directly affect one in seven Canadians—as
students, staff or faculty—and colleges
are now located in all provinces and

both territories.

Reprieve from deadline

The last day for students to withdraw from
a course, change sections, or change from
credit to audit status has been moved back
to Wednesday, November 19. Other changes
in registration, marking and exam schedules
will be announced.

Staff join OTEU

In a vote held at a special convention on
Saturday, October 18, the College
Employees Union (CEU), voted 94% in favour
of a merger with the Office and Technical
Employees Union (OTEU) Local 378. “We are
proud to announce that we are now members
of a local with 6500 members, and look
forward to our full participation in the
B.C. Federation of Labour and the Canadian
Labour Congress," said CEU President Mick
Maguire. Local 378 of the OTEU represents
workers at ICBC, BC Hydro, SkyTrain, and
16 other bargaining units in B.C.
