Dorothy Negropontes was a key player in the creation of the Community Learning Campus (CLC), an innovative collaboration of education and community leaders in Olds, Alberta. A former Assistant Superintendent with Chinook's Edge School District, she co-chaired the steering committee that developed the project, served as its executive director during construction, and, after her retirement from Chinook's Edge, was asked back to write a progress report in 2011. She reflects on what it took to move the project forward and, after the ribbon-cutting, to sustain the original vision. (Contains 1 endnote.)
