Abstract:
Douglas P. Ormond, Administrator/City Clerk, City of Nelson
This paper deals with the closure of the David Thompson University Centre (DTUC) in Nelson in 1984 and the Council and the community's commitment to keep the DTUC campus open as an educational institution and the reinforcement of post-secondary education as a significant component of the community's economic base. The approach taken illustrates how a cooperative, open-door approach by City Hall management to community problem solving, community promotion and community action, can be successful.
