Destiny °Q2 ...120e. continued from page 1 Abbotsford and Mission school districts have also been invited. “We’re not trying to reach just the high school audience,” McLoughlin notes. “A major theme of the fair is ‘you never stop learning.’ We want to reach people out of school who are still looking for a career or considering a change, and parents of students, who may want some information on the cost of education.” The fair will be hard for mall visitors to miss. Most of the concourse will be lined with booths, all of them staffed. Over 200 people will spend time behind the booths. UCFYV will have two booths at the fair, one staffed continuously by Information Services and Counselling & Advising, and one staffed in shifts by various UCFV programs. “We divided the booths into three sections: labour market awareness, post-secondary institutions, and business and industry,” McLoughlin says. The response from employers, educational institutions, professional associations and government agencies has been overwhelming, according to McLoughlin. ““We’ve had to turn away some groups because of lack of space. Some groups are sharing booths,” he noted. Faculty are encouraged to let their students know about Destiny ’92. UCFYV students may find the fair useful for talking to representatives of other institutions such as UBC, BCIT and SFU; finding out about professions such as pharmacy, dentistry, journalism, medicine and accounting; and talking to potential employers, including B.C. Tel and B.C. Hydro, London Drugs, CHWK radio, hotels, government ministries, the RCMP, corrections agencies, the Canadian Armed Forces, and various local businesses. A planning committee has been working since September on Destiny "92. UCFV’s Bob Warick and Sybille Stegmueller served on the committee, along with representatives of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, ~ School District 33, CFB Chilliwack, Employment and Immigration Canada, the Chilliwack Public Library, CHWK radio, and the Kiwanis club. The Kiwanis club and Employment and Immigration are major sponsors of the event. UCFV helped to fund promotional services. | There will be a prize draw every hour throughout the two day event. UCFV has donated a one-year tuition waiver prize. District aids UCFV parking crisis Abbotsford district council is considering a proposal this week which may help ease parking pressures around the Abbotsford campus. The proposed changes are based on a report by the district engineering department, which worked in consultation with UCFV’s facilities department. The proposal identifies restricted parking areas along College Drive and Gillis Road. College Drive will have parallel parking allowed along the east side of the road the length of the UCFV property and restricted parking on the west side, allowing access for emergency vehichles entering Crown Point Villa. Gillis Road will be identified as a one-way road running east to west. Parking on Gillis Road will be restricted to limited parking on the north side only. The district plans to have parking signage installed along College Drive and Gillis Road by the end of February. In the meantime, the district has asked the RCMP not to ticket vehicles parking in this area unless they are: parked off the road surface, near a fire hydrant, or at the College Drive/Gillis Road intersection.
