Ascending the millennium

Cranbrook’s College of the Rockies was the site of the 1998 Advanced Education Council of British Columbia (AECBC) conference and AGM held June 4 to 6.

Members in attendance were told that educators would be challenged to develop a wide range of _ initiatives and learning opportunities as we enter a new millennium.

They were also told that this would require risk- taking and innovations. In keeping with this theme, our College president, Greg Lee, and College board representative from Sechelt, Sam Weller, experienced a bit of their own risk-taking by sampling some of the indoor challenges offered in the Canadian Rockies.
