Dear Minister Horner:

On behalf of the Bow Valley College community, I am pleased to submit our 2010-2014 Business Plan as endorsed by the Board of Governors on May 26, 2010. This business plan establishes a clear framework from which Bow Valley College will manage a challenging fiscal environment yet still advance long-term strategic priorities.

As a proud partner in Campus Alberta and the Comprehensive Community College for Calgary and its surrounding regional communities, we are committed to enhancing access throughout our service region. Together with government, a network of partners, and community supporters, we will provide innovative adult education programs and services that equip people for lifelong learning and full participation in Alberta’s economy. We will do this in alignment with government priorities to encourage economic and social well-being.

This 2010-2014 Business Plan was informed by consultations with college stakeholders, including our learners and clients, program advisory committees, faculty and staff, managers and executive and was prepared to deliver on the strategic principles set out by the Board of Governors, as laid out on pages 12 to 15 of the business plan.

Should you wish to discuss any of the details contained in the Bow Valley College 2010-2014 Business Plan, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

Scott Thon

Chair, Board of Governors
