This is our friend, Jiwan. He attended Vancouver Community College a few years ago.VCC's downtown campus specializes in training for careers in hospitality, health, business and technology and other areas. In many of the programs offered at City Centre, content is primarily one-third theory and two-thirds practical experience gained in working situations.

As you can tell by the photograph to the right, Jiwan took a program to qualify as a baker. Look at the size of that rolling pin; it could be a lethal weapon! The picture was taken by the college for their promotional materials.
They've made use of it too. Can you imagine seeing a life-sized cardboard cutout of yourself? We once spotted one at the Pacific National Exhibition Fair. The PNE is an annual 'county-fair type' event which takes place just a few kilometers from downtown Vancouver.
Jay occasionally walks through the downtown VCC Campus on his way to work. He maintains that a copy still haunts the hallways of the college to this very day!
