five million dollars. I wonder if that
would have put Cap College on the map
had it been floated into the Capilano
estuary and opened as a college cum
museum, cum hotel cum restaurant. We
were relegated, however, to a warehouse
on Welch Street - the epitome of all our
space requirements. We actually
survived! Then, the fathers in their
wisdom saw the centre of Pemberton to
Deep Cove as being Lynnmour - the
Community College in the Woods!

From the day that deer were to be seen
from the first oceupaney of Lynnmour,
our College has gone a long way.
Probably 30 registration periods have
passed and over 20,000 different people
have had a Capilano experience since
those first days in a basement bookroom.

Capilano is truly a place for all ages - a
place of learning for all adults -an
opportunity for enriching the lives of
young people and adults from all
communities within the college region.
We speak now not of beginnings but of
the next decade, not of overwhelming
problems of those beginning years, but of
the challenge of the "eighties".

We speak of a dream coming true! =

Space for classes and meetings was always
a problem at West Van. Fortunately they
made the library and labs available to us.
