New Guide to Evaluate
Standards of Education

Moving from one province
to another will be less stressful
for Canadian secondary school
students, thanks to a new book
on student transfers produced
by the Council of Ministers of
Education, Canada (CMEC).

1 The 106-page book “Se.
condary Education in Canada -
a student transfer guide” will
help school officials place trans
ferring students so their educa-
tional development will be as
continuous as possible, accord-
ing to Dr. Pat McGeer, minister
of education, science and tech-
nology.

“This will ease the minds of
thousands of students and their
parents who have shared a

common concern when trans-
ferring from one province to
anuther + how will the new
school evaluate studies com-
pleted in their former prov-
ince?" said McGeer, who is
vice-chairman of the CMEC.
“Where and how to place
students will become simpler
thanks to this guide, which is

_ being distributed to secondary

schools across Canada.”

The first part of the guide
summarizes secondary educa-
tion in each of the 10 provinces,
The second section provides
course comparison information
for each province, including
course descriptions for English,
French, social studies, mathe-
matics and science.

A Few Details on the PEP

Editor, Castlegar News:

I would like to reply to
several letters with regard to
the Provincial Emergency Pro-
gram.

I must confess I was one of
those who was not fully aware

-of the function of such a
‘ program and did not recognize
lor appreciate the efforts of a
: team, of dedicated volunteers
+ who Were running the program,
:some of whom have been
+ involved for some 20 years or
: more.

: T should have known, as I
: spent a short time with the
+ group back in 1961 when Red
: Warner headed up the Civil
. Defence Program as it was then
‘called,

The City of Castlegar has
appointed me as the co-
ordinator of the Municipal
Emergency Program for the
year 1979 and Hugo Wood of
the B.C. Forest Service as
essistant. co-ordinator. I am
taking over from Ted Cowlin
who has headed up the emer-
gency program for many years.
Ted is a former Kinnaird
council member.

For those of you who, like
myself, were not fully aware of
what the Provincial Emergency
Program is all about, I would
like to give a few basic details.

As you will have guessed,
the program is administered by
the provincial government.

The province is divided
into regions and each region
comes under a regional di-
rector. In each region the
various municipalities set up
their own emergency program
committees.

The City of Castlegar
comes within the Nelson region
and the regional director is Ean
Gower, who is stationed in
Nelson.

The emergency program

in attendance and the emergen-
ey program was reviewed.

To give a brief description
of the program, I think the
following extract from city
Bylaw No. 116 will give an
idea of the purpose of the
emergency: program:

“The object of this bylaw is
to ensure the continuity of the
government of the City of
Castlegar during emergencies.
This includes the

It is the intention of your
city council to keep you in-
formed of the activities of the
Provincial Emergency Program
and I will be very glad to
answer questions regarding the
program and will welcome any
comments or suggestions made
either to myself or to city hall.

3 Education Courses

The University of Victoria
is offering three faculty of
education credit courses at
David Thompson University
Centre in Nelson from January
to April.

Included are two physical
education courses and a pre-
professional year course which
deals with the analyses of
teaching and teaching skills.

The physical education
courses cover the motor skills

of children in the intermediate’

grades and the methods of
identifying, evaluating and ap-

plying a physical education
program to the special needs of
some children,

Members of the UVic facul-
ty of education’ are instructing
the classes.

Registration for the 1%:
unit courses takes place at
DTUC and may be completed at
the opening lectures,

The cost of each course is

‘It is very important for all

does not, in any way, alter the |

functions of any of the present
usual protective services such
as the RCMP, fire departments,

has been added to those ser-

them should air emergency

volunteer their services and

Al the present time, I have
not, as yet, been able to meet
many of these volunteers, al-
though I have known some of
them for many years; but I
hope to get together with them
as’ soon as possible.

« In the meantime, I hope
that present and also past

tinue to provide a service to
