44 CREWE E DITOR’ S N OTES Of the above totals (for credit unions), Saskatchewan credit unions sponsored by far the largest number of people each year, falling below one hundred only in 1962–63. (This growth in later years could be a factor of the development of the Canadian Credit Union Institute and its role with the college.) None from the other western credit unions were registered until 1963–64, and the numbers remained extremely limited until 1966–67, when Manitoba sent approximately forty people. Numbers from that province increased to about sixty-five the following year, and peaked around ninety in 1969–70. British Columbia sponsored people only in the last three years of this survey: twenty-five, twenty, and about seventy-five respectively. Alberta had no significant numbers until the final two years shown on the graph, when the province sponsored approximately sixty-five people each year. A variety of other organizations sponsored students at the Western Co-operative College, but enrolment was generally much lower from these sources than that shown on the graphs above. The Alberta Wheat Pool consistently sponsored people for courses over the ten-year period, but numbers never reached higher than forty (in 1963–64) and were usually considerably lower. Maritime Co-operative Services (predecessor to Co-op Atlantic) was a regular sponsor of both employees and elected officials, although courses were mainly conducted on an extension basis by college staff. In general, numbers from this organization were higher than those for the Alberta Wheat Pool, but did not surpass one hundred, a number reached in 1967–78. The United Farmers of Alberta, Manitoba Pool Elevators, Interprovincial Co-operatives, Co-operative Insurance Services, Co-operative Vegetable Oils, United Grain Growers, and Co-op Trust Company of Canada all sponsored people at the college over the course of the decade, but always in relatively small numbers. United Farmers of Alberta numbers peaked in 1964–65 at about thirty people, while Co-op Insurance Service numbers reached around forty in 1966–67. Other organizations mentioned in this paragraph were consistent supporters of from one to twenty students annually. Over the five-year period from 1963 to 1968, the British Columbia Co-operative Wholesale Society sponsored extension courses from the college for its members. During the first four years, student numbers hovered around thirty to thirty-five, jumping to approximately ninety in 1968, and then falling to zero the following year. The Saskatchewan Co-operative Women’s Guild sponsored people for college courses C ENTRE FOR THE S TUDY OF C O - OPERATIVES
A PPENDICES 45 every year during the decade. Numbers reached a high of about thirty-five in 1966–67. And apart from three years in which no employees attended courses, the United Co-operatives of Ontario maintained fairly consistent sponsorships of approximately forty to fifty people each year. These courses were conducted mainly on an extension basis by college staff.

Includes a forecast of enrolment for 1969–70. 3. No college courses were conducted for overseas students in 1963–64. Enrolment in the #25 Teachers’ Co-operative Information course increased steadily over the decade, reaching a peak of one hundred in 1966–67, dropping to around forty the next year, and then to about twenty in 1968–69. Training for Inuit people from the Canadian North first began in 1965–66, when about sixty people attended courses at the college. That number rose and remained at ninety for the next two years. In 1968–69, Inuit people from Alaska began attending courses as well, which swelled the numbers from northern areas to approximately one hundred and eighty people. These numbers include only those people who attended courses at the college and do not include courses conducted on an extension basis by college staff. O CCASIONAL P APERS S ERIES #01–01
