We recommend that the governing council provide, forthwith, post secondary edu- cational services for the East Kootenay region. Specifically, we recommend that: Certain. vocational and “ technological programs be made available in East Koot- enay if at all possible no later than September 1974. The initial programs be housed in temporary facilities » until more permanent arrange: ments can be made. Until such. time as the decision is taken regarding the institutional form that will best suit the East Kootenay the programs be under the direc- tion, supervision and adminis- tration of the college with affected. ‘The governing council pro- vide a library facility -and improved library: holdings that will support the college's teaching program, that will coordinate - with’ the over-all library and. information needs of-the Institute and that will, so far as possible, serve the needs of the wider community.
