LCAT conference accommodation
By Yvonne Reynolds
CENTRALIA - Centralia College
of Agricultural Technology can
now accommodate people 12
months of the year. A decision was
made in September 1988 to utilise
tkle residences an1 other facilities all
year round.
Hockey schools have rented part
of the student quarters since 1969.
Various groups on occasion have
used the facilities for week -end
symposiums, and OMAF personnel
find CCAT an ideal place for meet-
ings.
Now CCAT is conducting an ac-
tive promotion campaign to let oth-
ers know what the college has to
offer.
The country setting, attractive
campus, well-equipped buildings
and pleasant, efficient staff will
combine to attract groups wanting
a place to hold conferences, semi-
nars, workshops and meetings.
Interested groups can be housed
and fed throughoutthe year, with-
out interfering with the students.
Bruce Hall, with beds for 183,
has three lavatories on each floor.
Each level alsohas a lounge and a
kitchenette.
Huron Hall is fully aircondi-
tioned. The commodious lecture
hall comfortably seats 150. The ad-
joining lounge has a bar, which is
the only legal drinking spot on
campus.
Up to 200 people can be acvom-
modated in the residence section,
which is divided into pods. Each
pod has 15 double and 10 single
rooms, two lounges (one with tv),
a kitchenette and a washer and dryer.
Bed linens and towels can be sup-
plied if desired.
The recreation centre on the lower
level has a' spacious lounge, a fit-
ness centre and a games room with
dart boards, shuffleboard, billiards,
table tennis and fuzzball.
The college can provide board-
rooms, classrooms, a computer
laboratory, and audio-visual equip-
ment equipment.
The food possibilities are just as
varied. Any type of meal from
soup and sandwiches to elaborate
dinners may be pre -ordered from
the nutritional management servic-
es catering menu. The only stipu-
lation is that diners number at
least 20.
Now that the college is catering
to the public, a chair lift will be
installed to make the main 275 -
chair cafete:ia accessible to those
for whom die tight steps would be
a barrier. However, food can be
served in kwo other locations at
the college.
Don Milton, administrative offi-
cer at CCAT for 17 years, will be
in charge of the expanded service.
He is willing to discuss arrange-
ments with any interested group.
"Everything is negotiable," Mil-
ton said. His goal is to do every-
thing possible to make people's
stay at CCAT a happy experience.
The charge for accommodation is
very reasonable, and use of the ex-
cellent recreational facilities, the
lounges, kitchenettes and laundry
facilities are all part of the pack-
age.
Word hys already spread. The
Model Acrznotics compctiton was
held at CCAT this year, and is
bookcd again for 1990. Six hun-
dred delegates to the London Con-
ference of the United Church are
booked in for next May. A group
of ciders from the Granton church
held a successful retreat on campus
this summer.
The plan benefits everyone in-
volved. CCAT's facilities are used
all year. The maintenance and caf-
eteria staff get more hours of
work. And groups can get togeth-
er in a comfortable environment
that is also affordable.
