Among them were Evelyn and Frank MacDonald, who have been foster parents since 1967. Making the presentation are Chris Greene of the B.C. Federation of Foster Parents, - Community facilitator Doug Smith has just returned from a ~ *Strong.Communities in the 90's" workshop in Vancouver with a list -{ of ‘goals for his five-month job. | Smith was accompanied to the -workshop by . Terrace alderman. Dave Hull, economic development : officer Peter Monteith and Tourism. ‘and Economic Advisory Commis- _sion representative Rich McDaniel. The purpose of the workshop was to provide an. overview of the Strong. Communities: in the 90's program, explain provincial. expectations and.to define specific development targets. For Terrace this means the devel- opment. of.a community-conven- _ tion center concept for some future referendum, .an examination of existing facilities and support systems in the area with a goal of 5 keeping seniors in the area, the development of wildlife viewing trails in the area, and pursuing the city’s goal of having a University of Northem B.C. forestry faculty established here. These pro- jects won't necessarily be com- pleted during Smith’s tenure but he says they will be developed to the greatest possible: extent using all available resources. | These projects were extracted” from the city’s Tourism and Econ- omic Development Strategy. Their selection was based on cach pro- - ject’s feasibility, the resources required for their development and the community’s determination in seeing them accomplished. Every new project, particularly if it involves the goverment, can be - confusing to the general public and it appears that this one is no diff- erent. Once the preliminary selec- Strong Communities-goals set from development strategy | tion process. was completed, the following process was described by Smith in a report to council ' Monday night. "The second step in the process saw the group conduct a “force field’ analysis of the project. In essence, the analysis saw the list- ing of supporting and opposing influences for the project and once completed allows for a systematic approach in decreasing the oppos- ing forces until the project is suc- cessfully completed," Smith writes. It’s not entirely certain what this means but the end result, we know, was that the four projects mentioned above were selected and council members agree that all four will help the overall economic .picture of Terrace. Smith says more information will be released on each individual project as it is developed. ' Local foster families honored, nominations open for B.C. award A special evening to recognize Skeena area foster parents was hosted by the Ministry of Social Services and Housing recently. There were several guest speakers, among them, Skeena area MSSH manager Bill Anderson, Skeena MLA Dave Parker, Terrace alder- man Ruth Hallock and Kitimat alderman Ray Brady. All spoke. with emotion when describing their feelings for the contribution foster- parents make to Terrace and other . northwest communities. It was Ruth Hallock, though, who prob- ably best summed up their com- bined message: "Strong families are the foundation that all good communities are built on." It is in this spirit that Lieutenant- - -Governor David Lam also wants to recognize the value of the foster family in today’s society. In a recent press release, Peter Dueck, Minister of Social Services and Housing, announced that Lam will be honoring 10 B.C. foster families - who are respresentative of the special care and giving available in foster homes throughout the provi- nce. "Foster parents make a valuable contribution to our communities and to the children of British Co- lumbia," says Dueck. “I am. delighted that the Lieutenant-- Governor is prepared to honor them in this way." He adds that nominations are currently being accepted and that nomination pack- ages ‘are available ‘from the B.C. _Federation of-Foster Parents Asso- ciations by calling the toll-free fosterline at 1-800-663-9999, Nominees must be residents of .
