You may have noticed some construction near the intersection of College Drive and College Avenue where workers have been setting foundations and running electricity for an electronic sign. This initiative is intended to help MHC inform the community of college opportunities and events. The sign is expected to be installed this week, and will be operational early in the new year.
This project has been approved by the City, though there are some restrictions of which you should be aware. Among these is the requirement that we stop using trailer sign boards. The college has also been restricted from using video or scrolling messages on the sign board.
We’re looking forward to using this enhanced communications tool. Please contact Colleen at cgraham@mhc.ab.ca with sign requests.

Copyright Notice for Faculty & Staff
Medicine Hat College’s existing photocopying licence with Access Copyright officially expired on August 31, 2010; however, the college did sign an extension of that licence to December 31, 2010. At present and pending Executive approval, the college will not be renewing the licence beyond December 31, 2010 based on advice from the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC) and on changes to the licence structure initiated by Access Copyright.
The impending expiration of this licence with Access Copyright presents the college with the opportunity to review its existing practices with regard to the licence and the relevancy of such a licence in light of changing student needs and technologies. Most public post-secondary institutions are not renewing their licence with Access Copyright.
The college is monitoring this situation closely and will attempt to keep the college community informed of developments. For more information about this issue, please click here.

Favourite Book Tree
Drop in to see the “favourite book” Christmas tree in the library. For the past six years the library staff have invited faculty, staff, administration, and students to identify their favorite books so that they may be used to decorate the tree. For just a $2.00 donation per title (funds going to the Santa Claus Fund), a small facsimile of the book cover is hung on the tree with the person’s name on the back of the cover. It is fun to see the variety of titles that have been submitted – so come and join in or just come to see what others are reading.
Automotive Tune-Up Sessions
A new automotive tune-up will start in January 2011. During this session, apprenticeship students will perform general tune-up work, check engine lights, test and/or repair starting and charging systems, and diagnose electrical problems.
This service is open to all staff on campus including their families. If you are interested in having work done on your vehicle, please fill out a service request form and return to Ray Shannon or the Trades Department. Once your work order is received, someone will contact you with a booking time.
