At a local pit stop today was an armoured vehicle. The car was marked with RCMP logos and had fold up shields on the top. An on looker said” I have never seen such a thing in all my 57 years of life”. The grey haired Mountie driving it said that it has a half a million dollars . When the statement ” they bought 4 a couple of years ago” was said the officer said nothing  but seemed agreeable.

An interested by-stander said ” I wouldn’t want to have to put gas in it.”

Karen Blain the Kamloops coördinator of the NITEP program that’s the program that since 1974 has assisted nearly 400 first nation teachers to get degrees through the University of British Columbia and its affiliates. They are intending a joint field office here in September 2013 . She says that the degree program has reduced credits required by the BC College of Teachers standards to 151 credits from 174. Meaning that 3 years in a field location such as the September combining of Thompson Rivers and Nicola Valley Institute of Technology and then a year at the university campus with a 3 week practicum will get you a teaching degree that can be used anywhere in the Province.

About a 15 people attended the presentation mostly administrators  some interested in teaching degrees with a cultural dimension.
