Under this Minstry of Regional and Economic Devel- opment initiative, said MLA Dave Parker in a news conference last ‘week, the city will work with both private sector and govern- ment community development experts to plan and implement a comprehensive development strategy tailored to local needs. _ The Strong Communities in the 90s program was announed last fall and one community in’ each of B.C.’s eight development regions was selected to participate earlier this month. In the running with Terrace for the North Coast region were Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Port Edward. Com- munities selected in other regions were Houston, Robson Valley (Valemont to McBride), Dawson Creek, Gold River, Maple Ridge, Salmon Arm and Nelson. "It is a tribute to Terrace to have been designated a Strong Community in the 90's and all residents should be proud," Parker said when making the announcement. According to Parker, the com- munities were selected on the basis of development work done to date and their plans for future development. In this regard, he added, the city’s recently released Economic Development Strategy was a big plus. Parker noted that tourism is a big part of the city’s strategy but added that he could also see economic opportunities in the retail sector and service industries. Terrace is expected to work: hard as a regional center, he said, and provide leadership to other communities who may be targetted by the program at some future date.
