form something called the
Provincial Learning Network,

The plan is to creale an audio,
video and dala network to link all
schools, colleges, universities, li-
brarics, museums, Crown corpo-
rations and provincial govern-
ment agencies,

Once in place the network

could also add private firms and
freenets.
Officials involved expect the
system will be more powerful and
affordable than anything those
agencies could set up individual-
ly. ;
‘They hope to have a package
ptcpared to present to the groups
involved by fall.

Up to 2,500 sites across B.C.
could be interconnecied through
the Provincial Learning Network.

Southern urban centres would
help subsidize creation of the

network in the north, reducing.

Started.

“T got jarred awake at 4:31 in
the moming and got thrown
around on my bed unt I
managed to get under a door-
way,’* Ekman recalls.

The lights didn’t work, so he
went outside — where it was un-

. usually dark.

“The sky above mountains
there is usually really bright from

the glow of Los Angeles,’ he

sald.

problems, but as soon as il got
light we went out looking for
things to do and people to help,’’

did for the next week.”

He says his posting was good
experience.

His plans for the fall are to go
toa church-run college in Idaho.
