Horseshoe Bay to launch
own daycare service

Horseshoe Bay parents are
for the first time ever being
offered the opportunity to
get a daycare service
established in the area.

One of the most common
questions received by the

committee of Gleneagles
Community Elementary
School from parents of

families newly arrived in
Horseshoe Bay is: What
daycare facilities are there?
Every time the question is
asked the parent gets the
same stock answer: None.
Now the school has
decided to take the incentive
in coming to grips with the

problem which seemed to be
getting no nearer to a
solution.

As coordinator Peter
Cotton says: “Both qualified
staff and a suitable facility

are already available in
Horseshoe Bay.”
Cotton has called a

meeting designed to launch a
Horseshoe Bay PDaycare
Society to help meet the
needs of the increasing
number of working mothers
and single parent families.

The meeting will be held

Wednesday at 8 p.m., in the
community school lbrary

Property management
workshop set for N. Shore

On Sunday, May 25, from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Capilano

College is offering an in-
tensive workshop) on
property management.

Instructed by  Byrnice
Agnew, who has been in the
field for the past thirteen
years managing residential
properties, apartments,
commercial buildings, and
condominium units, this
course will look at what
exactly property manage-
ment is, and how to best go
aboulit.

“Many people,” explains
Agnew, “just grow up in the
field without understanding
what the total scope of this
yob ts.” Agnew will be
dealing with that and with
the emotional, educational
and personality require-
ments that fit the yob.

“Property management is
a vocavion which demands
considerable knowledge,”
says Agnew, “but above all it
requires a knowledge and
understanding of people.
This job is recognized as a

profession — it demands
high goals, organizational
skills, honesty, endurance

and a super helping sense of
humour.”
