Recreation
program
getting
back
on
track
By
Mandeep
Binning
The
recreation
program
at
CNC
is
currently
run
by
Dr.
Peter
Usher,
the
instructor
of
the
Physical
Education
Program.
He
is
assisted
by
Dean
Barnett.
There
were
team
sports
until
1983
but
they
were
largely
shut
down
by
economic
cutbacks.
A
new
program
was
started
up
in
1985
which
Included
fitness
classes
as
well
as
the
occasional
tournaments
-which
were
funded
by
the
Student
Association,
if
students
could
organize
it
themselves.
That
first
year,
the
fitness
class
which
has
since
increased
to
about
30-40
per
class
had
an
attendance
of
about
10
people
per
class.
The
tournaments
were
intermittent,
as
might
be
expected
of
student
organized
tourna
ments.
But
in
the
spring
of
1987,
the
CNC
Student
Association
and
CNC
Administration
got
together
and
took
up
the
subject
of
a
recreation
program,
provided
funding
for
it,
and
gave
the
Found
-
Money
in
the
library
in
the
week
of
March
13th
through
19th.
Rightful
owner
may
claim
it
in
the
library
by
identifying
the
amount.
Scholarship
Fund
The
CNC
Scholarship
Committee
is
now
in
the
process
of
raising
money
for
Student
Scholarships.
This
is
being
done
through
the
1st
Annual
CNC
Endowment
Scholarship
Campaign
-
"Investing
in
Tomorrow".
The
Committee,
a
group
of
local
businessmen,
professionals,
college
personnel,
and
a
student,
has
a
goal
of
$50,000,
to
be
raised
by
June
1,
1988.
This
target
amount
was
established
to
take
advantage
of
two
programs
that
are
currently
in
existence.
Both
the
Provincial
Government
and
the
Vancouver
Foundation
will
match,
dollar
for
dollar,
moneys
raised
by
the
Committee
with
$100,000
to
initiate
a
Scholarship
Endowment
in
perpetuity
for
the
students
at
the
College
of
New
Caledonia.
The
Committee
will
be
conducting
a
drive
among
the
general
public,
businesses,
professionals,
and
the
College
community
for
donations
to
the
fund.
If
you
have
any
fund
raising
suggestions,
would
like
to
,make
a
contribution,
or
donate
some
of
your
time
to
this
project,

responsibility
for
running
it
to
Dr.
Usher;
all
this
so
that
the
program
could
be
formal
and
consistent.
This
new
program
is
less
team
oriented
than
the
program
in
1983
and
is
more
concerned
with
opening
up
the
college's
facilities
for
the
use
of
the
students.
For
example,
last
semester
there
were
softball,
volleyball,
indoor
soccer,
and
basketball
related
activities.
This
semester
we
have
had
floor
hockey,
badminton,
and
indoor
soft-ball,
with
walleyball
just
finishing
up.
Still
to
come
this
semester:
a
superstar's
competition,
which
involves
a
variety
of
activities,
as
well
as
a
tug
of
war.

The
intramural
competitions
and
intra-r
college
team
sports
have
been
exciting
and
fun,
but
this
recreation
program
offers
more
than
this.
There
is
also
the
weight
room,
racquetball
courts,
as
well
as
the
gym
itself
and
all
the
sports
equipment
which
can
be
signed
out
by
the
students.
All
this
is
provided
at
no
charge
to
full-time
students.
The
only
disappointment
has
been
that
the
services
provided
are
not
being
used
by
all
the
students.
