INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION CONTRIBUTES $1.8 BILLION
ANNUALLY TO THE B.C. ECONOMY
Published April 27 - International education is now a leading export for British Columbia (B.C.), creating jobs and
supporting families in communities and regions across the province. The total value of international education exports
in 2010 reached over $1.8 billion dollars, ranking the sector fifth in the generation of export income. Among B.C.’s
key trading partners China, India, and South Korea, international education ranks as a top-three contributor to B.C.’s
economy.
In order to accurately measure the full economic impact of international education province-wide, the BC Council
for International Education (BCCIE) has engaged noted economist Dr. Roslyn Kunin of Roslyn Kunin and Associates,
Inc. (RKA, Inc.). Dr. Kunin’s report The Economic Impact of International Education in British Columbia examines
international student spending at K-12, post-secondary and language institutions across the province. Dr. Kunin’s study
will help the province and BCCIE to benchmark international student data and to plan strategically for future growth in
the industry.
The full report will be published here on April 27, 2011: www.bccie.bc.ca/about/publications
HAIKU COCKTAILS, POEMS ON THE MENU, AND AN EMPTY CHAIR
“It’s the most original evening I have ever been to. Having a poet
serve you and recite was really cool, the food was great, and the
chapbooks are marvellous. I’m inspired by the youthful creativity
and the sense of play.” — novelist Anne DeGrace
Published by Bill Metcalfe on April 14,
2011 – Arts in the Kootneays: For the
appetizers, there was a food menu and
a poetry menu. Your formally-dressed
server was the author of the poetry.
She or he took your order, then read a
poem to you and your table-mates.
It was the same for the main course
and dessert—the server/poets moved
to a different one of the six round
tables for each course. During the
meal, other writers read their prose
pieces to the whole room.
Before the meal, while people arrived
and mingled with drinks from the bar,
writer/waiters circulated with elegant
trays of haiku cocktails. Each haiku,
written by the servers, was typed on a
small card and attached to a piece of
writer-folded origami.
Poets perform for their tables: Sam Stevenson (front) and Celina Silva (back of room).
Photo: Bill Metcalfe
These writer/waiters were the secondyear class at Selkirk College’s Studies
in Writing program at their year-end
event on April 8, No Words Barred: A
Metaphormal.

CELEBRATING SELKIRK COLLEGE
Published April 14, 2011 – Nelson Star: It’s far too easy to forget just how important Selkirk College is to this region. Once
we are finished our education and move onto the world of work, it’s no longer top of mind.
The educational, economic and social aspects of a vibrant post secondary institution should never be taken for
granted. We all need to celebrate with them and thank Selkirk for the opportunity to host a place that can inspire,
empower and make a difference in the future of our community and country.

TECHTIPS
SAVE YOUR PHOTOS IN LOWER CASE!
Did you know…
When you save images and want to put them into the Site Manager system (Terminal 4) for the Media Library,
you cannot save the image as .JPEG (upper case). You should save images as .jpeg (lower case).
If you save with the upper case extension, it will cause your image to come up blank!

EMPLOYEE COMINGS & GOINGS
Michelle Pierce has been hired to teach the ECCE 293 course for the
Early Childhood Care and Education students starting on May 2, 2011,
for 6 weeks.
Michelle has been working as a Supported Child Development
Consultant for the last five years at Kootenay Family Place while raising
her family. She was recently promoted to manager of the program.
She has a diploma in Child and Youth Care (from Selkirk College!) and
is currently working on her degree in this field. She is also the Chair of
the Early Childhood Advisory Committee.
Outside of work, Michelle enjoys spending time with her family and
friends—hiking, biking and camping. She belongs to the Robson

Michelle says, “I am very excited to be given the opportunity to share
my experience and knowledge with the ECCE students. Ten years ago
I was sitting in that very classroom! Many children on my caseload
have behaviours that challenge the adults who work with them. The
positive approaches to behaviour strategies are something most
people in the field can feel good about implementing. I hope the
students will find the tools I have to offer useful in their work.”
Welcome Michelle!

TO LEARN MORE ABOUT EDUCATIONAL GOVERNANCE?
There are a number of seats coming vacant on the Selkirk College Board and on Education Council (EDCO) in May 2011. All
of these seats will be filled through a nomination and online election process that will be rolled out over the coming weeks.
The time requirement to prepare for and attend meetings can range from two to four hours a month over a seven- to
eight-month period. The appointment terms are three years (Board) and two years (Education Council).
If you are currently elected to a seat and want to stand for re-election or are newly interested in this work, please watch
the Grapevine for information on the upcoming nomination process.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR SCFA MEMBERS
Please remember that the Professional Development (PD) Fund established by the Common Agreement is one more
route you can go for PD funding. The fund was developed to promote activities that meet our criteria for Group
PD, but so far there are enough dollars left over to support individual PD claims as well. The limit for Individual PD
applications is $2500/year, $500 of which can be a top-up for a successful application to the SCFA Regular PD Fund
[the “other” PD Fund] that is not completely covered.

competitions, field trips and student awards. We are

the auction portion of the Gala. The program would
receive funds raised from the silent auction for their
program and students. We also present a live auction

participate in the Gala.
The Gala is a great opportunity to raise funds for
