Hi Jennifer, Hope brought this to my attention and I'm wondering it you want to advertise this event to the Open Douglas people. The email address for the BCcampus Open Douglas is opendouglas(a)mail.bccampus.ca<mailto:opendouglas(a)mail.bccampus.ca> Or I can do that if you prefer. I'm sorry that I can't go because I'm teaching at Coquitlam that day at 12:30 :( Debra
