_ Quetico celebrates 25th oy MARGARET WANLIN A unique residential 2ducation centre, once called a mathematical im- possibility, celebrated its 25th anniversary August 12, 1983. Quetico Centre, a Northwestern Ontario- grown idea, which was once called "your average rural slum" is now anything but that. Built on the idea that there was a need for a place to help people cope constructively with change, the Centre. has grown into a multi- million dollar facility. Since its inception in 1958, the Centre has pro- vided its learning services to nearly 100,000 people, mainly from Nor- thwestern Ontario, but also from the rest of Canada and the world. Feelings ran high as board, staff, past board members, clients and friends gathered for the event. A stone cairn built by board member Harold Tett and staff member Guenter Bartsch was unveiled. A metal' box full of momentos and memorabilia of the Cen-: tre's first quarter century was sealed into the cairn to be opened in 2008. A plaque on the cairn aptly described the Cen- tre's spirit. "1958-1983. Behind is the skepticism of those who thought or- dinary people couldn't do extraordinary things.: 1983-2008. Ahead are op- portunities that will challenge ordinary people to be extraordinary." As well as being a day for looking back, the event was also, ~as described by Centre presi- dent Cliff McIntosh, a "'preversary", a time for looking ahead to the next twenty-five years. A past presidents/chairmen's breakfast asked that group think about what the Centre will be like twenty-five years from C & D ENTERPRISES Automotive and Plumbing Supplies REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR ALL MAKES AND MODELS.

Among their views were that the Centre must broaden the age span of its programming thrust. As the population ages, the Centre must be in- creasingly able to serve an older group. The idea of helping people cope con- structively with change, was viewed as an endur- ing constant for the Cen- tre. Given technological innovation, high unemployment was seen as continuing. The group saw a role for the Centre in helping to develop new ways of distributing wealth and of finding a worthwhile place in socie- ty for people who do not hold jobs in the tradi- tional sense.
