ALC Date Set - Dean to pitch sports facility


We've got a date. The Agricultural Land Commission will hold its second hearing on a bid for an outdoor sports facility at Okanagan College's Vernon campus on October 25th. College spokesperson Allan Coyle says a delegation, led by Vernon dean Jane Lister, will speak to the Commission on that date. This is the second attempt to win approval after the ALC rejected a plan to use ten acres of College land for the 7.8-million dollar facility. That land lies within the Agricultural Land Reserve. Coyle says this time ``there are points to be made about the breadth of community support for the idea.''
