David Thompson University Centre reunion planning underway
The organizers of a planned 2023 reunion of faculty, support
staff and students from Nelson’s David Thompson University
Centre are seeking input from people formerly associated with
the school. Preferred dates and reunion events are among the
questions reunion organizers have for interested individuals,
who are asked to contact the reunion committee at dtucreunion@gmail.com
DTUC was a consortium of the University of Victoria and Selkirk
College, established in 1979 on the premises of Notre Dame
University of Nelson following NDU’s closure in 1977. DTUC
students could obtain a UVic BA degree, and the institution
incorporated Nelson’s former Kootenay School of Art, which
became DTUC’s fine arts department. Instruction was available
in a wide range of subjects, including photography, creative
writing, and rural teacher education.
After a BC government assessment committee in fall 1983
approved the continuation of the province’s only “university
centre,” the government reversed course following the collapse
of the November 1983 public sector general strike which
had been widely supported in the West Kootenay. DTUC was
ordered to close May 1, 1984.
“A couple of former fellow DTUC writing students approached
me this past summer about a reunion,” said DTUC reunion committee
member Calvin Wharton, retired head of Douglas College’s
creative writing department. “We contacted some other

DTUC people,
who
were enthusiastic
about
a gathering
of everyone
who was
involved with
the school.
We have a list
of questions
to help determine
when in
the year most
people would
be willing to
come to Nelson
for the
event, and
what sort of programming they’d like to see.”
Wharton said 2023 was picked for the reunion in the hope
that pandemic restrictions will be fully lifted by then to allow an
in-person event.
“We’re also interested in contact information people may have
for anyone who participated in the life of the institution,” he
said. He noted that 2021 is 37 years since DTUC was shuttered,
so spreading the word about the reunion is a challenge.
“Personally, I’ve always considered DTUC a magical experiment
because it reached outside traditional academia and
arts education,” said Verna Relkoff, DTUC reunion committee
member and former head of the Kootenay School of the Arts’
creative writing department.
“DTUC was a brief fusion of the two that had extraordinary
energy. It was years ahead of its time.” Fighting for freedom with

SUDOKU
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken
down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the
numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box.
Each number can appear only once in each row, column
and box. You can figure out the order in which the
numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already
provided in the boxes. The more numbers
you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
