Sechelt ran “model program”

Capilano Coilege's Elderhostel program,
which ran this summer in Sechelt, was
described as a "model program" at a B.C.
Elderhostel coordinators meeting on Oct.
4. The meeting, involving the coordinators
of all B.C. Elderhostel programs and the
Executive Director of Elderhostel Canada,
was set up to exchange information and
plan programs for next year. Sechelt
Elderhostel Coordinator April Struthers
notes that Capilano was the first of the
programs to billet students out in the
community. "They were really interested in
our billeting situation," she said. “Some
places are even thinking about going to
billeting because of our good experience
with it." The coordinators were also
impressed with the community support that
was shown on the Sunshine Coast and the
level of community involvement.

Incidentally, the coordinators’ meeting
was filmed by a TV crew, and a segment on
Elderhostel will be shown on an upcoming
edition of the CBC TV program "The Best
Years."

Marketing Fiction in spring

Communications 280, Marketing Commercial
Fiction, is being offered again this
spring at Cap, with instructor Crawford
Kilian. This is not a creative writing
course. Kilian says, "It's intended for
people who are already pretty capable
writers, but who need help in technical
areas—everything from manuscript format
and storyboarding a plot to researching
markets and reading a contract. The
emphasis is on commercial writing—
something for which a market exists." For
details call him at 2585.
