.................................................... 

In response to your memo of October 2, regarding summer session/semester planning, 

I wish to provide the following information regarding Environmental Education. 

I.

Courses: Education 

452-4 

Education 462_1+. 

II.

Location: Kamloops, during July. (For Section I). 

A coastal location, possibly galtspring Island, during 

August for Section II of both courses. 

This will have to be listed as T.B.A. until we work 

out the details, but I hthpe to be able to run the 

second section in a coastal location, (NOT STRATHCONA) 

but I'll have to correspond with the Gulf Islands 

School District. 

III. 

Scheduling. 

Both sections are offered as intense, total immersion experiences. 

The dates for Section I, Kamloops will be: 

Thursday, July 

Saturday, July 26, Inclusive. 

The dates for section II will be: 

Friday August 1- Saturday August 

23,

Eauiment ? 

Supplies: 

(a) Printed materials: we will need to duplicate three basic 

sets of materials for students: 

i.

An urban studies handbook. 

ii.

An outdoor school handbook. 

iii. 

A set of readings. 

Plus assorted minor duplicating. We will need approx. 125 copies 

of each. 

(b) Field costs: we will need to rent four Ford Econoline 

Maxi-Vans for one month, for Section I. These vans 

have been leased from Budget in previous years. 

(c) We need to accomodate several instructors in Kamloops 

for the month. This involves costs of food, essentially, 

since the instructors live in the dormitory they have no 

lodging costs. There may be some minor travel expenses 

to and from Vancouver, but generally our instructors also 

travel in the rental vans. 

(d) Postage: We need to mail students an equipment list, and 

instructions for travel to and from Kamloo 

p

s, etc. This 

occurs in late May or early June. We usually can get away 

with one mailing.

(e) We use a variety of scientific equipment 

for field work. This is normally charged 

out from Biosciences Stores on our normal 

Education Faculty account. The total costs 

are not normally in excess of 1504300. 

INFORMATION FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION & FOR STUDENTS: 

See attachment. 

Visiting Faculty. 

We have appointed several persons to staff this 

program in previous summers. They are paid a lower 

stipend than the normal Lecturer in Continuing Education 

because of their theoretically shorter period of employment. 

This amount has been $1100 for people staying the entire 

period of the courses in Kamloops. 

Persons to be Appointed: 

Mr. Brian Herrin. Vancouver School District. 

Mr. Harvie L. Walker. Vancouver School District.' 

Mr. E.P. Dowling. 

Mr. E.W.T. Jackson: 

?

West Vancouver School District. 

Mr. Stan King. 

?

Architect & Planner: Vancouver. 

In past years we have also appointed Gloria Sniveley and 

Al Whitney. I would like Gloria again in 

1

975,

but I 

don't know her availability or the nature of her assignment 

as a Coordinator in the Faculty of Education. The Kamloops 

program might form part of her regular summer work load. 

I also don't know about the availability of Al Whitney 

after May I , 

1975.

Mr. Cam Murray, Environmental Education Coordinator to 

S.D. #24 is seconded to the program by Kamloops district 

as part of his normal work laad. 

Mr. P.L. Shaw has been appointed for the wilderness portion 

of the program at an honorariiim of 

$700.

Mrs. K.L. Fleming was appointed as a Teaching Assistant 

at a stipend of 

$700

for the month of July only. 

Dr. Milton McClaren is not stipended. 

FUNDING. 

In past years the program has been paid for in the main 

by Continuing Education, as are all Summer Sessional courses. 

The costs of the program have been partially offset by fee 

revenues under the budgetary formula for Continuing Education. 

The NET costs of Kamloops have therefore been about $'+OOO/ summer. 

(About the equivalent of two regular summer sessional stipends.) 

However, the summer program in 1974 was expanded with the 

addition of section II at Campbell River (Strathcona). 

This program was more expensive 

. ?

.

....3/ 

than the Kamloops program because of increased equipment 

rental costs (SCUBA GEAR, BOAT RENTALS, etc., ) but, the 

funds for it came from the special grant for Continuing 

Education provided by the government for the 1974-75 

fiscal year. Therefore, the costs of the two sections 

should NOT be lumped or considered together. 

It is my opinion that we should offer the second section 

SECTION II of +52 and 462 ONLY if demand justifies this 

and we should indicate this in our announcements. Because 

of the costs of an off campus residential program of this 

type, I feel that it is the only sensible thing to operate 

one section economically rather than two sections at a 

higher cost. 

I am, therefore, proposing a budget for Section I only. 

This budget is as follows: 

I.

Vehicle Rental & Operations: .... 

........

4

@ 750.....$3000. 

II.

Accomodation & Food for instructors....8 @ $15O....$1200. 

(Based on one month.) 

III. 

Duplicating and postage........... 

IV.

Equipment...... ............... . • . . • • . • . . . 

V.

Stipends& Honoraria ...............'..o...$??0 

(NOTE: this should really not be included, as 

it is considered separately for other courses, 

but I am including it to give a better picture 

of actual costs.) 

$ 12,700. 

Revenues: Tuition Fees: 70 @ $12O...........$ 8400. 

Field Activity 

70 @ $ 2

$10,150 

NET: $12,700

I will develop a projected budget for Section II once 

I know where that will be, what staffing it will need, 

etc.
