TERRACE — Women lack the
resources that men‘have in deal-
‘ing with the legal and justice
system, says the director of the
Terrace Women's Resource
Centre. ,

-And that means women
aren’t adequately represented,
Karla Hennig told a Law Socie-
ty of B.C,.committee examining
gender bias here last week,

’ The problem extends to
women ‘in’ battered relation-
ships, ‘immigrant women and
women: with low incomes, said
Hennig.-

“St would appear that some

Hennig added that women —

living in small towns who leave

particular worry.

said.

More women then men live in
poverty and that means there
only access to the justice system
is through tegal aid which Hen-

money.

‘Legal aid in this area seems
to give precedence to criminal
cases over civil cases, Matters of
custody, support and divorce
are not accepted as of primary
importance,’’ she continued.

She added that immigrant
women often don’t possess a
sufficient knowledge of English
and so don’t understand what
their lawyers have told them,

Hennig did acknowledge that
transition houses, sexual assault
centres and victims assistance
programs have improved access
to the legal and justice system.

She said the challenge of the
justice system is to decide if

chemical
route

TERRACE — Orenda hopes to
calm public fears about possible
chemical spilis by changing how
it wants. to transport chemicals
to the site ‘of its proposed
groundwood' pulp and paper:
mill. - er
Company = vice-president
Frank Foster said a new. plan
envisions four truckloads per
week of sodium silicate being
shipped to the site: by- rail in-
stead of in trucks along Hwy37, |
past Lakelse Lake — as
originally planned. “
“That eliminates any-moye-
ment of chemicals or hazardous
goods along that stretch of |
road,” Foster said last week. :
Sodium silicate made up two-_
thirds of the various hazardous
materials the company had
wanted to ship by truck to the
mill site. cet
The remaining hazardous
chemicals, and another two |
truckioads of non-hazardous
‘aaterials are to arrive by truck
via Kitimat. vs
Other ingredients in Orenda’s
chemi-pressurized groundwood
process — carbonate, clay,
caustic soda and hydrogen
peroxide — are to arrive from
Prince George by rail, The com:
pany’s plan also calls for 12
truckloads of purchased kraft
pulp and 180 truckloads of pulp
logs to arrive each week at the
site from around the northwest.:
Foster said the change was
made in response to public con-
cern about shipping plans, -
“The concern that was raised’
is a valid one,”’ he said. “There
is a remote possibility that there
could be an accident involving a.
chemical truck when a school
bus is on that road. And we-
believe this change addresses.
that particular scenario."* _
Foster maintains the increase’
in truck traffic in the area due.
to Orenda would be minimal.
He said 43 round-trip truck.
trips per day would be made .
