THE TUMBLER TIMES

IDUSTRIAL FIRST AID

neteen people from Tumbler Ridge
rticipated in a WCB-sponsored
dustrial First Aid course conducted
tween 20 Feb. and 15 March inclusive.
e class was a representative cross-
ection of the community, with four-

en of the participants not employed

y Quintette Coal.

e were fortunate to obtain the ser-
ices of Bobbie Walkley of Cranbrooke

s course instructor. She certainly
ows her work. She also knows how

o strut her stuff as was demonstrated
t the wind-up party. There was a lot
f strutting that night. Thank God for
xygen therapy.

ll classes were held in the rec centre
d, because of Pat Griffin's desire

or optimum use of the faciltiy, most

f the course was learned whilst trying
0 ignore Cubs, floor hockey, and the
humps, strains, bumps and grinds of

he dancercize classes. Somehow we
anaged and most of the course material
unk in.

inal exams were held on 16 and 17 March
nd the results are not yet available.
egardless, Tumbler Ridge must have the
ighest number of Industrial First Aid
ttendants per capita of any other com-
unity in the province.

SCHOOL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The first school advisory meeting
was held Wed., March 9, 1983.

Bob Wilson called the meeting to
order with the following advisory

members in attendance: Mr. & Mrs.
King, Radies, and Simard; Mr. Brown,
Mrs. Peters, and Mr. DeMelt.

Mr. Wilson brought everyone up to
date on the school plans for the
next year - elementary school fin-
ished by Sept/83, grades 10 and 11
and 12 in the present school until
early '84 when the high school is
finished, and grades 7,8, & 9 going
wherever space will best accommodate
them.

The BC school curriculum was dis-
cussed as was the need to keep
everyone in town informed as fully
as possible.

Bob Wilson and his staff were con-
gratulated for the excellent repu-
tation the school has to date. The
need to maintain this reputation
and solve any potential problems
immediately was mentioned as a

high priority. The meeting was
adjourned at 10:00 PM.
