Ascending the
millennium

Cranbrook’s College of the Rockies was the site of the
1998 Advanced Education Council of British
Columbia (AECBC) conference and AGM held June 4
to 6.

Members in attendance were told that educators
would be challenged to develop a wide range of _
initiatives and learning opportunities as we enter a
new millennium.

They were also told that this would require risk-
taking and innovations. In keeping with this theme,
our College president, Greg Lee, and College board
representative from Sechelt, Sam Weller, experienced
a bit of their own risk-taking by sampling some of the
indoor challenges offered in the Canadian Rockies.
