LIVE FROM VICTORIA:

It’s Catch 22

Poor Brian White. He and his Applied Land-
scape Horticulture program are suffering
from a severe case of "Catch 22''. Victoria
is supposed to be’ funding the program but
they will cancel the program without giv-
ing Brian so much as a red cent unless he
can get a full and fully paid enrollment.
On the other hand, to get that enrollment
he needs some funding to advertise for
students which he can't get until he gets
full enrollment. Did that make a lot of
sense? So Brian is looking for people who
are interested in taking this 6 month
program which has some real attractions.
First, they have had a 90% job placement
rate for the last 3 years. Further, the
program had been redesigned this fall sO
it's ideal for women, particularly single
parents. (Last time some woren were having
trouble with some of the heavy lifting)
The basic skills and knowledge learned in
the course can be used in four areas of
the landscape industry: Landscape and
Grounds Installation, Landscape & Grounds
Maintenance, Interior Landscaping and Re-
tail Garden Centres Operations. The pro-
gram runs daily, 9 am to 3. and costs $164
including supplies. If you know anyone in-
terested, tell them to call Brian at local
2.
