Cap’s first telecourse an all-college production >

"Planning Your Retirement", a telecourse
which will air on the Knowledge Network
starting February 24, is a Capilano
College production in every sense. Over 25
faculty and staff members and
administrators were involved in putting
together the six-part TV series and
supporting print package.

"This is not the first TV series we've
done, but it is the first telecourse,' said
Executive Producer Jim Bizzocchi. "We are
definitely planning to do it again." Cap
has been involved in TV production for ten
years now, and this is not the most
ambitious project that's ever been tackled,
but, says Bizzocchi, "it will reach a much
larger number of British Columbians than
any other project we've done."

"We're excited because we're fulfilling an
important social functionwith this series,
and that's what a community college should

be doing."

Retirement Planning: Cap series airs February 24

When is the best time to start planning
for your retirement?

"Now," says Vancouver Sun Money columnist
Mike Grenby. "Whether you're 20 years away
from retirement or whether you've already
retired, there is always something you can
do to improve your financial situation."

Grenby is making a guest appearance to
talk about the financial side of retirement
in the upcoming series "Planning Your
Retirement". The six-part series, hosted
by Bob Switzer, will also cover the topics
of Aging, Health, Housing, Time, and
Relationships. The series should be of
particular value to people between the
ages of 35 and 60.

Anyone can just sit down and watch the
telecourse, but to get the most out of it,
people are encouraged to enroll through
the Telecollege and receive the print
package, which includes a text and
worksheets. Each episode in the series
will air twice--Tuesdays at 7 pm and

Saturdays at 6. The first part will begin
on Tuesday, February 24 at 7 on Channel
18.

For information on registration contact
the Telecollege, 875-8217. For more
information on the series call Jim
Bizzocchi in Media Resources.

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.
