TERRACE — The city has
agreed to pay the cost for local
firefighters who want to be vac-
cinated against Hepatitis B.

The decision came in
response to a request from
firefighters’ president Rick
Owens which. was accompanied
by Skeena Health Unit statistics
showing the virus was the nor-
thwesi’s third most reported
communicable disease in 1988.

Also enclosed was a fact sheet
produced by the Canadian Liver
Foundation which pointed out
firefighters, in emergency situa-
tions, could come into contact
with the blood or body fluids: of
a carrier of the virus.

While the effects of infection
could be as mild as a brief bout
of flu-like illness, the founda-
tion noted it could also lead to
potentially fatal diseases such as
cirrohsis or cancer of the liver.

“The membership feels the

Hepatitis B vaccination is very
important and high on our list
of priorities,’” Owens said,
Council agreed to allocate
$2,600 dollars to cover vac-
cinaling the estimated 20-25

members who will require it.

The three-shot course of treat-
ment (cost $132) will not be
mandatory for firefighters. --

In an effort to allay the fears
of a local parents, aldermen
have agreed to installation of a
fence at Lower Little Park.

Last month the Nobody's
Perfect Parenting program ex-
pressed concern for the safety
of youngsters using the park
playground given the volume
and speed of traffic wsing
Kalum St. and the addition of a
convenience store-gas bar on
Davis Ave. across from the
playground.

The city will erect a four-foot

high chain link fence which will

extend 100 ft, along the Davis

Ave, side of the park from the

edge of the path entering: its

north-east comer. Estimated

cost is $1,500. _

enough volunteer hours to stay
open,’’ spokesman Diana

Bit of a wait for investment

TERRACE — Even if the city
‘can persuade Hong Kong
businessmen planning to leave
the British Crown colony to
relocate in Terrace, it will be
several years before they will be
in a position to do so,

‘That was one of the findings
of economic development of-
ficer Peter Monteith during last
month’s trip to Hong Kong. He
was part of a B.C. delegation
which attended a trade and in-
vestment show in the colony
and later conducted. a seminar
,on investment opportunities in
the province.

Monteith said 90 people,
mainly middle management in-
dividuals, attended the seminar

_and he had got “‘two or three
solid leads.*’ However, with the
volume of applications —

The city wants individuals
who are in a position to take ad-
vantage of the federal govern-
ment’s business immigration
program in either the en-
trepreneur or investor
categories.

To qualify as an en-
trepreneur, Monteith explained,
an applicant had to have a
business background, invest
$100,000 in a Canadian business
and create a job for themselves
and one Canadian. Investor
status was achieved by putting
$250,00 into a Canadian’ com-
pany for three years provided it
was deemed a beneficial invest-
ment for the province.

Referring to concerns about
what will happen in Hong Kong
when it is handed back to the
Chinese in 1997, he said,

“There’s a lot of nervousness

over there (and) a lot of money
that's looking to get out.”

One hurdle communities like
Terrace have ‘to clear is Hong
Kong residents’ preference for
cities and their lack of
knowledge about Canada apart
from major centres like Van-
couver and Toronto.

“People did not know about
the degree of urbamization and
industrialization in the north,”
Monteith said, adding, ‘‘It’s an
education process and it’s going
to take a while.’”’
