They feared the college would

its bric-a-brac shanty shacks littering the campus and posing
as classrooms.
Mr. G lenesk tried to allay
their feelings and said that
"demountable" was a better
word to describe the units and
that they were made of such
durable materials as steel and
masonry.
In other problem area the
college deputation second
guessed council's concern and
said that traffic flows into t, e
college would not necessarily
interfere with local traffic as
most residents would be normally commutting in the.
opposite direction. They urged
council to support them in persuading the provincial government to improve the nearby 401
interchange which they felt is
a potential bottleneck.
Though there was unanimous support for the college as
such there was some criticism
about how it was to be built.
