A Lakehead University Professor wants the City to continue its support of the Humanities 101 program. The program is for students with disabilities and Dr. Christina van Barneveld wants enough passes to transport twenty students to 15 classes. Councillor Iain Angus asked if they would consider holding the course in a downtown location; but van Barneveld says the students wanted to take a course on campus so they could get a feel for University life. The students don't pay tuition so the bus passes are not included in their course. Council will decide on September 12th whether to provide the free passes or not. Monday, August 29, 2011
