Katimavik is funded by the federal government, to which the corporation reports through Mr. Dan- son. The program will put together 33. teams of 30 young people from all across Canada, all walks of life and cultural groups, who will spend 10 months of intensive working, learning, sharing and travel, within a structured environment, ‘Each: team will have a coordinator and three adult leaders. The 33 project sites will be distributed across the country, in all provinces, the Yukon and .the Northwest Sex offense workshop this weekend Aworkshop on how to deal and cope with sex offenses will be held in room 202 of Northwest Community College from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on April 16 and April 17.

In each project the participants will do volunteer work of interest to the community such as environmental cleanup and recy : development o particular projects within national, provincial and municipal parks; services to the handicapped and senior citizens; flood and erosion control; exploration of community resources on behalf of local authorities; young hostel programs; forest fire prevention; search and rescue; fire breaks; farm work; reforestation. etc. The teams will be living a modest and spartan life, doing their own cooking, washing, produ some of their own food and energy; in all kinds of ways they will be sensitized to the great problems of today: the lack of food to properly feed a large part of humanity and the dwindling resources of the earth. ; Ineach team, priority will be given to communicatin, in both French and Englis and all participants will have the opportunity to become bilingual.

Cecil Cosulich, president of RivTow, said the rate increases will average about 15 percent. A few rates will remain the same or be reduced, as example, the return automobile tariff between the Queen Charlottes and Prince Rupert. The rate changes, ef- fective April 9, apply to the normal routes serviced by RivTow, as well as the routes abandoned b Northland Navigation Ltd. last November. Northland ceased operating the service on these routes when the federal government with- drew subsidies amounting to almost $4 million annually. Mr. Cosulich sald RivTow agreed last November to operate the Northland routes for three months at Northland's published rates to determine the mix and volume of freight. (Riv- Tow's rates are based on door-to-door delivery, while Northland’s were dock-to- dock.) The new rates reflect RivTow’s experience during that period. He said that RivTow lost about $300,000 on the service during the four months, November 1 to February 28, on a gross revenue of $1,027,000. Pro-rated over 12 months, this would be about $900,000 — a figure sub- stantially below the $4 million subsidy of the past. Moreover, he said, the loss rate was now down to 23 percent from the earlier 30, and he foresaw a further reduction to 15 percent -baged on the old rates. “There was a miscor- ception abroad that RivTow was given some special status and financial assistance to operate the coastal freight service,” he said. He said RivTow has found a wide diversity in the economics of the various routes. Among the beat are the Vancouver-Prince Rupert-Queen Charlotte routings. Others, however, such as the runs to Stewart and to the southern end of the Queen Charlottes, are heavy losers. He acknowledged that RivTow had encountered some problems. Many had been overcome, he said, but a few remained. ; He listed them: 1, Many of the govern- ment docks are not really suitable for barge handling of freight and should be rebuilt to serve all modern modes — ramp barge, freight barge and roll on + roll off. 5 2, RivTow’s base facilities require upgrading, a process that will be com- pleted within a year. : 3. Division of freight among several carriers has made some_ locations uneconomic for private carriers to serve, This will be discussed with the- governments concerned. Despite the problems, Mr. Cosulich said the quality of, service had improved steadily since RivTow took over. It will continue to. improve, he added. .
