Fry won trip to Arctic

Those of you who toured the Northwest
Territories Pavilion at Expo may have
found yourselves envying the person who
won a free vacation there for being the
one millionth person to visit the pavilion.
What you may not have known is that you
were envying one of our own. Faculty
member Marlene Fry who organized the
exchange programs for the French Canadian
and Japanese students this summer, toured
Yellowknife and Coppermine with her husband
Bert and 13 year old son Eric this August.

Guild formed in Sechelt

A group of Craft students at the Sechelt
campus who have been taking the weaving
classes offered, have formed a Guild. A

meeting was held in late September and a

Weavers Guild has been established with a
starting number of 20 members. Mieneke Mees
reports that they have the use of a house
in Gibsons for studio space and are
"delighted."

Auto program receives funding

Cap College is once again running the

"Job Entry" program for the automotive
service and parts industry with the CEIC.
In this program unemployed men and women
under 25 receive an allowance or financial
assistance while taking 28 weeks of
training in class and on-the-job. The
program will start November 3 and is being
run by Martin Wittman and Bob Irvine
through Extension Programs and Services.

EMRG’s LPI replaces ERIBC’s EPT

The English Placement Test (EPT) has been
replaced by a modified exam known as the

And the Winners were...

Three correct answers were submitted to
the guess-the-babies contest, so we were
nice and gave out three prizes to: Bev
Young (actually someone else entered in
her name—was she surprised!), Michele
Henderson, and Bev Harnett. First prize
was a bottle of Angove's 1985 Sylvaner/
Riesling (Australia, Stan) and runners up
got 200 ml bottles of Kressman. The tots
were Bill Murdoch, Cathy Storey, and Doug
Loblaw. Pictures for next time, anyone?

COLOPHON

However sporadically the Informer may
appear in your mail, it is still trying
valiantly to be a weekly publication,
at least during the Fall and Spring
terms. This newsletter is published by
Information Services, A118, local 2002,
and submissions are greeted with joy
and delight. Photos are generally taken
by Edna Sakata in MPC and prepared for
publication by Dave Sharrock. Printing
is done by Linda Givens and Dave Callow
in the Print Shop, and distribution is
handled by the Mail Room/Typing Pool.
Most everything else can be blamed on
Donna McMahon, but she'll deny it.
