This is a bit unfair to the students who were hoping for (and needing) full summer employment to fund their schooling - and to the museums who will not have students to cover the entire summer.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Lori Treloar, Manager/Curator</div><div class="">Shawnigan Lake Museum</div><div class="">Shawnigan Lake BC</div><div class=""><a href="http://www.shawniganlakemuseum.com" class="">www.shawniganlakemuseum.com</a><br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On May 6, 2016, at 9:11 AM, Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv. <bcma@lists.vifa.ca> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div class="WordSection1" style="page: WordSection1; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;"><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="color: rgb(31, 73, 125);" class="">We got the one student we asked for, but for only ten weeks instead of the 14 we usually get.
