Parks need]
aboost [|

TERRACE — British Colum-.
bians want to see increased
facilities and services in existing —
provincial parks, the creation of
more parks and improved con-
servation, and wildlife protec-
tion in those areas.

Figures. released by parks
minister Ivan Messmer show
that was the message he received
during a recent round of public
meetings, including one held in
Terrace March 6.

For northern residents —
Messmer also visited Prince
i George and Fort St. John —
: completion of the parks system
was the top priority with the
issue being raised in more than
one third of the presentations.
Also high on the list were
resource extraction, tourism
and access.

While northerners raised
those subjects more frequently
than did southern coast/interior
residents, the opposite was true
when it came to questions of
recreational facilities and multi-
ple use of parks.

The ministry also released
totals from a questionnaire
distributed at those meetings. §
Asked to identify the direction
park management should take
over the next five years, two-
thirds of respondents named
protection of natural resources
7 as a first or second priority, The

acquisition of more parkland
ranked next at 60 per cent
followed by developing more
facilities at 20 per. cent.

Although these responses
were not broken down by
region, the summary noted Ter-
race accounted for 20 per cent
and was second only to Van-
couver.

Messmer is expected to an-
nounce changes to park zoning
policies next month to be
followed later in the year by the
a discussion paper on the park
system: plan.
