<\/a>\u201cFor our next theme, we\u2019re doing \u2018A Night in Hollywood.\u2019 I\u2019m doing the marketing for it, arranging the decorations, and figuring out activities for people to do when they come,\u201d she says. \u201cWe also have to transform the Dunlop House into an area that fits the theme.\u201d<\/p>\n
Remus says that to bring that theme to the Dunlop House, the team has to start very early on Thursday to get things ready.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWe completely transform it,\u201d she says. \u201cWe reorganize all the tables in the Dunlop House and put up all the decorations. It\u2019s a classic Hollywood black-and-red theme. We are also going to have some great food options. We have two appetizers, a burger, and a pizza, and a dessert of tiramisu.\u201d<\/p>\n Remus says that her group members in the program created all the ideas for the food, which is completely unique to the pub.<\/p>\n \u201cWe also have our bar menu\u2014our cocktails and our mocktails,\u201d she says. \u201cThese were also created by another student who came up with them to fit the Hollywood theme as well. We come up with these ideas together, because when we collaborate, we can fully bring our themes to life.\u201d<\/p>\n Camosun Hospitality, Tourism and Golf Management instructor Brad Boisvert\u2019s class runs the Dunlop House restaurant. Boisvert says that the work the students do is instrumental in preparing them for when they graduate and enter the service industry.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s true hands-on applied learning for the students,\u201d says Boisvert. \u201cOur hope is that when they get out there and are in a co-op, that they have an understanding of what goes on. It\u2019s getting them ready for the industry; getting them ready for the work force.\u201d<\/p>\n Boisvert says that the experience in the restaurant plus the practice in management training is a good step toward future employment.<\/p>\n \u201cThe restaurant itself is a vehicle to teach the applied learning of management skills,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n Remus acknowledges that while working to make these pub nights happen is enjoyable, it can also be difficult.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s definitely fun, but it is really stressful. It\u2019s a lot of work,\u201d she says. \u201cI didn\u2019t know how much work I was getting into when we started.\u201d<\/p>\n Remus practiced for the themed pub night by volunteering on other nights at the Dunlop House.<\/p>\n \u201cI volunteered last week at the pub, so I got to see how it works, how it meshes,\u201d she says. \u201cSo I know that when it\u2019s my night it will be a lot of fun, but leading up to it is definitely very stressful.\u201d<\/p>\n Coming up with the themes for pub nights is also a collaboration between the students, says Remus.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we first come up with a theme, we consult with our groups, and we try to think of what would work well with students as well as the teachers, because we do get a lot of teachers who come as well,\u201d she says. \u201cSo, what would suit both demographics? What would be more interactive? What might be easier to pull off and transform the Dunlop House into?\u201d<\/p>\n Remus wants other students to realize how much these pub nights mean to the people who create them and how attending them will support fellow students.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to make sure that people have a fun time,\u201d says Remus. \u201cDunlop House isn\u2019t something that most students even know about, or [they don\u2019t know] about the pub nights that we pull off. Everything we create, we put a lot of hard work into; we want to make sure that people have fun. It\u2019s just something that we are all very, very invested in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of the main components of Camosun College\u2019s Hospitality Management program takes place at Lansdowne in a heritage building originally built in 1928 as a house for the Dunlop family.
