In fact, some of these placements are at some of Canada's oldest and most respected private golf clubs.

Students remaining in B.C. are working at golf clubs such as Point Grey and Capilano in Vancouver, at Furry Creek Resort in Squamish, at the new golf club in Balfour, and at clubs in the Okanagan Valley Five students are heading to Alberta to work at courses in Red Deer, Willow Park, and Canyon Meadows in Calgary, at Kananaskis and Canmore in the Rockies, One student secured a place ment at Wascasouix in Saskatoon, another is working at Westmont, Page 11A near Kitchener, ON, yet another is employed by“the Toronto Chamber of Commerce Board of Trade, which operates four clubs in and around Toronto, and anoth- er found work at Pointe West, near Windsor. A placement was secured in Quebec at the Royal Montreal Country Club, North America’s oldest golf resort, and at such exclusive clubs as Mont Bruno and Summmerlea. “It gets easier each year to place students,” confirmed David Loan, the principal instructor of the program. Selkirk College's program, the only such post-sec- ondary golf club management training presently available in Canada, has become known across the industry, and the cali- bre of students who go out on work practicum are the program's best ambassadors. “We didn't have enough stu- dents to meet the seasonal demand from clubs willing to provide work placements,” Loan said, but frankly, he prefers it that way.
