Just to be clear, it is my understanding that UWO has a Writing Program, which delivers degree-level courses, and an Effective Writing Program that is part of the Student Development Centre and what most of us would consider a 'writing centre'.

I have a senate document that refers to "Effective Writing and Counselling and Career Development" dated October 28, 1982. It would seem that this unit existed at that time. I don't have any documents about the Writing Lab in English; the Writing Program here is no longer part of the English department.
