Ward, I have talked to Bill King and have agreed upon
Saturday May 11 at 1000 to 1300/1400 hours. End time is open
depending on the interest. I have Lianne getting a room at City
Hall booked for our use.
I went with 1000 hours to allow those from Vancouver Island to
get the early ferry.
I am looking into lunch plans and wil let you know.
I need to know who plans to attend as Bill needs that. Also if I
make lunch arrangements I will need numbers.

 New Info
DID YOU KNOW:
The OCDP Interview Board Stage will soon take place and this
message is intended to inform candidates on what to expect.
The Written Exam results will be distributed to the OCDP
coordinators by May 16th and the OCDP Interview Boards are
planned to begin on May 21st in some divisions. The exact dates
of the OCDP boards in your division will be communicated to you
through your division S&P Office.
To prepare for the interview, candidates are strongly encouraged
to review Appendix II of the OCDP Procedures & Guidelines
document, entitled OCDP Structured Interview Board - 2002 Cycle
Guidelines for Candidates. It contains detailed information on
this stage of the process. Here are some highlights of the
changes made to this stage this year.
* This year, the Structured Interview will only contain
behavior-based questions.
* In order to prepare their answers, candidates will be given 30
minutes to review the interview questions in a controlled
environment prior to the board. Candidates will be provided
paper and a pen to take notes during this 30 minute review. They
will have access to their prepared notes during the interview,
but will be required to surrender them once the interview has
been completed.
* Interview schedules will be prepared by OCDP Coordinators in
each division, once they receive the Written Exam results.
We wish you all the best for this stage of the process.
