A language bank that will
help foreign ‘travellers is
currently being set up by the
Terrace and District
Chamber of Commerce
Information Center. -
The’ bank will help those
with little knowledge of
. english that are visiting the
area :

. “It’s basically a volunteer
service,” said Brenda Lee ~

Reid. “Residents here who
speak a foreign language

sign up to interpret for

- visitors,” ;

Currently the language

bank has several people who -
‘speak German or Por-

tuguese.

“The other day we had
German and French visitors
in who spoke very basic
English and who had great

difficulty in understanding

us," said Reid. “If someone
could have interpreted the
information for. them it
would have been a lot
easier,”

_ The’ information Center

feels there is a real need for
the service due to the in-
crease In foreign travellers
to the area.

“Travelling in Canada has

been promoted a lot recently
and B.C, is a major at-
traction," added Reid.

The Information Center
has been handling up lo a 150
people.a week and expects to
be busier now that the Prince
