The Basic Food Service Worker Training Program operating out of the VVI and KEC cafeterias is a 6 month course designed to develop the skills necessary to acquire entry level jobs in the food service industry. Students enrolled in the course must achieve competency in the areas of dish and pot washing, table bussing, and general kitchen maintenance as well as related job behaviours in order to qualify for their certificates. Students are given a combination of classroom instruction and practical training and by the time they embark on their first in a series of work experiences they are highly motivated and rarin1 to go. So the next time you see an apron-clad and rubber-gloved individual working diligently under the thoughtful gaze of a lab-coated instructor, stop-watch in hand, be assured this is just the first step towards a self-sufficient life as a skilled member of the food service industry.

Two students from the Food Trade Department - Mike Bunyak and-Martin Trolland were hired to cater the food service for Coach passengers on this year's unique trip. A total of 25 staff served the 150 First Class and Coach passengers. First class passengers were catered by dining car personnel from VIA Rail. The train left Vancouver on Saturday, going along the Fraser Canyon to Kami oops where they spent the night. The following day they travelled to Vernon and Armstrong returning to Kamloops for another night. They returned to Vancouver on Monday. Mike reported "that all the food for the Coach passengers was prepared at VVI by students in Mr. Bingley1s program. All the pastries were supplied by the students in the Baking Program. Mike and Martin had looked over the Coach-class cooking facilities on the train and knew they would be working under pretty primitive conditions. Their "kitchen" consisted had two pizza ovens in a baggage carl! All the food had been frozen, and Chicken, Sirloin Tips and Lasagna were all cooked in the pizza ovens. However, Mike said there were advantages to the baggage car, when it got too hot they could slide the doors open, and that made their kitchen much more comfortable than the facilities in the First Class kitchen. The two students also served Continental Breakfasts with VVI Danish pastries, and afternoon teas with VVI French pastries. The trip was considered a great success, despite an unscheduled three hour stop, due to mechanical problems. The food and the service given by Mike and Martin was praised highly by the Coach passengers. Mr. Terrance Fergusson, the Treasurer of the B.C. Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, and the man responsible for getting VVI involved in the Okanagan Express, was extremely impressed with the quality of the VVI food and with Mike and Martin's performance. It could be that VVI and the Okanagan Express may travel together on future trips!
