Dear Colleagues,

As part of the Open Governance initiative announced on July 14, the Planning Council for Open Learning agreed to have its public meetings broadcast on the web via livestream. The next Planning Council for Open Learning meeting is on Monday, Dec. 5 at 10 a.m. in room OL127 of the BC Centre for Open Learning on the Kamloops campus. You are welcome to attend or you can watch it live.

This is the third of several TRU governance body meetings which are now being live-streamed to the community. The Board of Governors and the Senate also agreed to live-stream all their future public meetings starting this fall term.

The first joint meeting of Senate, the Board of Governors, and the Planning Council for Opening Learning will be held in the winter term; it will also be live-streamed.

The livestream broadcasts for these meetings will be available for viewing during the meeting. Presentations at Planning Council for Open Learning meetings will be converted to voiceover PowerPoint format and posted on the PCOL web page after the PCOL meeting.
