Repeating ’ his earlier slalement to’ the fTerrace-Kitimat Labour Council, Nunweller told the Annual Carpenters Convention - in Prince George Friday that “Labour organizations and working people can play a major role in the building of well .planned and settled communities in’ Northern British Columbia. The economic proposals for Nor- thern Brilish Columbia should receive full attention from people working in the North and “the government intends lo consult fully with. local com- munilies on those proposals,” “T said it in Terrace and T'll say it here. We need and want the advice of Northern working people on ways and means of making Northern communities a belter place to live", Nun- weiler continued: “We. need - your advice on working and living conditions: in Northern B.C. We need your advice on. the problem of labour turnover in Northern B,C. But, we want your advice, nol the advice of ‘Instant experts from the lower SS SSS: SSS = an —_ ~— "ij sey Se ys mainland, people who suddenly became interested in the North yeslerday"” « Nunweiler said. . “We get great numbers of fetlers and phone calls from the lower mainland. Some southerners want Development for Developments sake, some want no Development for ne Developments sake. But not one of these self professed in- stant experts is acquainted with or really interested in the basic working and living interests of you andI- the ordinary working people of Northern B.C.” Nunweiler said. He continued ‘“They are not acquainted with the situalions in the loeal communities like the local people are. They argue an abstract theme of growth vs no growth wilhoul realizing Uhat some of cur communilies need _. growth and some’ do not. ” Growth vs no growth is not the realissue, The real issue is the well-being of out communities. We want the voice of the Nor- _thern ‘working person to be heard loud and clear. Weavant working people to get involved _ in building their communities, "; to get involved with municipal ° councils, school boards and resource boards,. and many other local organizations. The . Provincial government wants to , hear your voice - not the carping ; vaice of exper(s from the lower: mainland, The lower mainland Is enough of a mess, These - experis should clean thelr own house before they become experts on others. Nunweller continued, "The best way for your voice ta be heard is to get involved. in the planning and building «f your communily, I said that {o the Terrace-Kitimat Labour Council and I meant it.” Nunweiler had just returned from a tour of the Terrace- Kitimat’ area where. he had spoken to the Terrace-Kitimal Labour Council, conferred with other labour groups in Kitimat and visited the Kilimaat Indian Village.
