Acknowledging excellence This is what the Bruce Nicoll Golf Classic is Recent Appointments Classifieds Celebrating 30 Years all about. Established m 1989 as a tribute to Bruce Nicoll's belief in supporting students to continue their education, the endowment fund now stands at over $640,000. The in¬ terest earned each year provides financial support to deserving VCC students, based on their scholastic achievements and/or finan¬ cial need. Mr. Nicoll, a Vice-President and Division Manager of Canada Safeway was the Vice-President of the VCC Educational Foundation until his untimely death in 1988.

Each year, through the interest earned on the Bruce Nicoll Memorial Scholarship and Bur¬ sary Endowment Fund, the Educational Foundation helps deserving students continue their studies. Last year alone, about $22,000 was disbursed. As the proceeds from each year's tournament are added to the fund, more and more students can be helped. The goal of $1,000,000 will easily be reached, if the popularity of the Classic is any indication. That's why the registration price of $250 per person is such a good deal. Not only does each participant enjoy a day out on the course, with a fabulous steak dinner in the evening, but they are directly contributing to the fu¬ ture of VCC students, and in turn to the community at large.
