1.6 WHAT WE HEARD

The internal consultation sessions provided important
feedback and advice that normally would be outside the
scope of a master plan process. This information will inform
future campus projects, provide feedback for administration
and operations, as well as establish potential avenues of
communication in the future.

1. Better connectivity between Castlegar Campus and the
City of Castlegar

Bridge to downtown

- Property on the west side of the Columbia River
is privately owned. This would necessitate
landing the bridge at Zuckerburg Island

- Funding for this project through the College
would be a difficult ask

Better/safer bike paths

. Bikes need to share the road over either
Columbia Bridge or Brilliant Bridge

Expanded transit service

- Bus service stops at 6 PM
- No service on Sundays or holidays

2. Concern that programs are not well known, and can
be difficult to find information (Tenth Street Campus
programs such as Contemporary Music & Technology and
Ski Resort Operations & Management)

3. The course catalogue did not clearly define the workload
associated with some of the programs

4. Later hours would allow for study at school
5. Limited transportation options — Castlegar Campus

6. Cost and limited availability of housing can be a barrier to
education

7. Funding is strongly tied to building utility. Through the
discussions to date, it is understood that until Selkirk
College can demonstrate a higher classroom utility,
capital funding for expansion of academic will be scarce
