![]() | Chris Armstrong spoke to the Club about CityWest's most recent acquisitions and Connected Coast. When making acquisitions like West Island Cable, Banfield they look for companies that share their same values, especially when it comes to customer service and connectedness in community. CityWest now employees up to 86 employees under the direction of a new CEO who joined CityWest one year ago The pandemic has really outlined the need for services in all the communities CityWest Serves. AND look for big news in the coming weeks……. |

November 26 - Anne McNish
Anne gave us an overview of her time in Myanmar (Burma). Anne thought she would die in a taxi the first few months she was there, but thankfully, managed to survive. She taught 1st graders at the Brainworks International School. The school had a strong academic and extra curricular focus She thought she would be teaching English as a second language only to find that most of her young students had already had a couple of years of English instruction. In grade one they sit 1-1/2 hour exams over the course of a number of days, four times a year.
There are more than 135 ethnic groups in Myanmar and 80% of the population are Buddhist. The economy is agriculture (rice) and jewels - sapphires, pearls and rubies. In fact we learned that 90% of the world's rubies come from here.

2013-14 years were spent in permitting and 2016-17 in construction both above and underground. Capital invested in the project was 1 billion, 700 thousand of which was spent for goods and services in BC. In the early days crews were flown in and out from the site until the access road was completed in 2014. Now crews fly in to Terrace and are driven to camp. The came is a "dry camp" no drugs or alcohol on site, and security is much like an airport.

November 19 - Natasha Lebedick Curling Club
Natasha updated us on all the work that has been carried out at the curling club to raise funds and conduct much needed repairs. Curling is happening again with increased numbers and Covid protocols in place. She gave heartfelt thanks to the Executive for all their hard work over the last two years.
Justin Kohlman, President Coast Mountain College
We had a great session with Mr. Kohlman who used Kahoot.it to provide his presentation making it very interactive and fun! One of their values is adventurous - and we were! In first place: our President, Rosa Miller; second place went to executive secretary, Bev Killbery; and third place to club secretary, Ellen Witherly. Hmmmm I sense a theme here!
CMTN uses experiential place based learning - a combination of in-face and online learning, and are teaching other colleges how to implement it successfully.
