The school boards of North and West Vancouver, Howe Sound and Sechelt formed a committee to determine the need for a community college to serve the region. The proposal to build a college on the North Shore passed by a plebiscite in North and West Vancouver and the Howe Sound in 1968. The provincial government granted approval, and Capilano College had its name selected from submissions made by North Shore residents, in honour of Chief&nbsp;Joe Capilano&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Sḵwx̱w&uacute;7mesh&nbsp;Coast Salish&nbsp;nation. Capilano College opened on September 10, 1968, with 784 students attending classes after hours at&nbsp;West Vancouver Secondary. The Capilano College Foundation was created in 1970 to provide scholarships and bursaries for students
