TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY CENTRE OPENING
On Thursday, June 29, the new Tourism and Hospitality Centre was opened at VVI by Mr. Stan
Hagen, the Minister of Advanced Education and Job Training, and Mr. Bill Reid, the Minister of
Tourism, along with officials from Vancouver Community College. The new Centre is designed
to offer world class training for B.C.'s fast growing tourism and hospitality sector.
The new Tourism and Hospitality Centre will combine programs already offered at VVI with
programs previously offered at BCIT. The Centre will provide expert training in Baking and Pastry
Arts, Continental and Asian Culinary Arts, Specialty Meat Cutting, Delicatessen Training,
Restaurant Management, Hospitality Administration and Travel Agent Training.
The VVI Culinary Arts Department proved, at the reception that followed, that they already
provide world class training. The ice and food sculptures were works of art, and the food that was
served was both beautiful to behold and delicious to eat!
Congratulations to all the instructors and students of the Culinary Arts Department for providing
such a display of their professional abilities.

MORE LIBRARY NEWS
....further words from the "Instructors' Guide to the Library":

Although the library has limited funds, they are usually able to purchase "first priority" books,
periodicals, and other materials to support courses. When you plan a course, revise or update
content or teaching style, contact your librarian for assistance. Joint planning (and sometimes
purchasing) will help the library provide useful information for you and your students.
The library's diverse book collection is comprised of course texts and a range of supplementary
materials. To make sure the library is aware of changes in curriculum and course requirements

it is imperative to inform them as early as possible so that books are available when needed.

GUIDE TO FINE WINES
In an attempt to educate our readers we provide the following
"Guide to Fine Wines" for their edification.
1. Rare, expensive wines should never be frozen and eaten off a
stick.
2. Never drink wine on an empty stomach - eat some gin first.
3. Avoid wines which must be opened with a can opener.
4. How to tell a good wine from a bad one: a good
bottle is full, a bad bottle is empty.
5. A rich, dry, red wine is the proper wine to
serve with franks and beans.
6. Know your grapes-skins should not
be visible in bottle.
7. Wine should be red, pink or
white. Be leery of green
wine.

8. Never buy wine whose
vintage date is
"T uesday".

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

TOURING YOUR COLLEGE

Many of us have worked at the College for years but have not had
the opportunity to tour the different Campuses. We have put these
tours together to allow you to better relate to each Campus. They
are designed for all staff:

The goal of these tours is to give you a new insight into what
people at the various Campuses do, where they work and the
facilities available. You will also have an opportunity to meet
the Administration at each campus and other College employees. Each
of the tours is different so that we can determine which is the
most effective and workable. Future tours are planned for the Fall
and Spring.

It is suggested that staff from their "home" campus visit one of
the other VCC Campuses. As space is limited, we have allocated
seats on a first come, first served basis. Request permission from
your supervisor to attend and then call HRD - 875-1131, local 337
to confirm a spot.

Langara - July 19/89. 2:15 to 4 pm followed by a wine & cheese get
together. Allocated seats: WI = 6, KEC =6, CE = 2, CA = 1.

WI - July 26/89. 10:15 to noon followed by a light lunch at JJ's.
Allocated seats: Langara = 6, KEC =6, CE = 2, CA = 1.

KEC - July 27/89. 2:15 to 4 pm followed by a wine & cheese get
together. Allocated seats: Langara = 6, WI =6, CE = 2, CA = 1
