The collection will be assembled over a five-year period. A task force, comprised of staff, faculty and students, and headed by Chris Pilgrim, vice-president learner services, will be working to develop acquisition guidelines for the new collection. It will become the most comprehensive collection in North America, and an invaluable reference for students not only at CCNM but students at the other naturopathic colleges in the United States too. We are confident it will become the pre-eminent botanical library collection in North America. With the generous contribution of Essiac, they have made a possibility become a reality.
