But the Haisla of Kitimaat

after all. Why weren’t they
offered seats on the steering
committee at the outset, as

. Now the Haisla and the
Tsimshian are being involved
in some sort of parallel
review process. But no one
seems to be talking to the
Nisga’a, who claim the area
where Orenda plans to get its
woodfibre,

And no one seems willing
to talk to area environmental
groups, who are trying to
claim some of those same
sites and resources on behalf
of future generations.

garbage

Dear Sir:

Spring is upon us once
again. We're all doing our
besi to clean up our yards,

But what about the ditch
and the sidewalk around the
yard? This city is in bad need
of a spring clean-up, an all
year round cleanup,

If you just take a look

around you don’t have to~

look far to find garbage lying

ound. A quick walk: up >’

‘when one looks at all the gar-
 bage.

The city has tried to solve
our garbage problem by hay-.

ing businesses sponsor gar-
bage cans and having them
installed around town. This

is helping some but. doesn’t,

People are not going to quit

throwing garbage on the

ground,

[ would like to make a
challenge to all residents of
Terrace to clean up our city.
If everyone helps out on a
small scale by cleaning up the
garbage on the sidewalks and
ditches bordering their pro-
perty each week when they
put out their garbage it
would do alot to clean up the
city and keep it clean.

Going for a walk will ac-

tually be a pleasure again.
iLet’s all do our part.
Come on Terrace. Show
your pride!

School adding
another grade —

TERRACE —Terrace Cilvin
Christian School Society
members have approved ad-
ding Grade 10 to Centennial
Christian School this fall.

The search has already
started for at. least one
teacher, said school principal
Frank Voogd.

Adding Grade 10 con-
tinues a growth in grades and
in student population which
began when the school mov-
ed into new premises several
years ago.

Voogd said first indica-
tions are that 13 students
now in Grade 9 will stay with

the school for its first Grade
10 class.

‘In terms of parent sup-
port, we're happy. Our
minimum for Grade 10 was
12 students and it iooks like
we'll meet that;’’ he said.

Voogd added the school
may look for two teachers
for Grade 10 with the idea of

_ having one also do work in.

other grades.

“The society sees Grade 10
asa natural progression from
Grade 9. There’s a lot of vi-
sion for Grades 11 and 12,
but we may be some years

away from that program, It 7
-needs a lot of development

and the costs go up for each
grade,’’ said Voogd,

As things stand now, the
school will be bringing in one
portable classroom. for
Grade 10 and another for
other grades.

“We're looking at this j in
terms of a One year interim

solution and something more.

permanent after that,’?
Yoogd said.

The society spent last
weekend in a workshop
designed to set out future
goals for the school.
