‘THE: HERALD, TERRACE, B.C.

lass

The “Nishg’
question goes. back. to: the
surnmer of 1970 when- members |
of the Naas River River Indian -
’ Councils, the ‘Department. ‘of
school Board of District 8 met
in Terrace to discuss : the

amalgamation of the Nas# area _

with District 88. Up to that time
the Nishga education was

handled by the federal Bovern-

* ment.

The following aspirations of:

the Nishga people were defined:
1) ‘That the schools be made

part of the public. education

system with the standard: of.

education equal to that in other
areas in the District. _

2) That junior secondary
students to be educated close to
home rather than having-to be”
boarded in Terrace. .

3) The opportunity to vote for
trustees and. the .
possibility of Nass. ‘Tepresen-
tation on the Board.

4) Adequate hostel ac-
comadation. be provided for
senior secondary students in
Terrace under the auspices’ of
the Indian Department. ~

The question. was further
studied and the Board made °
recommendations. to the
Departmet ‘of Indian Affairs
that same. Summer.
were:

1). That Canyon City school
should . be. closed with. the
students being’. ‘transported to -
‘Aiyansh, -

2) Replacement - of the
Aiyansh pre-fabs with a per-
manent structure —_en-
compassing kindergarten to
Grade ten and including
library-resource- center,
auditorium, gymnasium, home
economics, industrial, com-.
mercial and science facilities:

3) Greenville school continue
to operate from grades 1-7 and
junior secondary students from
that area be boarded in either
Terrace or Alyansh. .

These _

lodging ‘costs ‘for’ stiidents -not_

diving. with their parents. :

_ proposals were $1,328,000.

‘the ‘children of the Nass were
entitled to the same edurational .

standards as ‘the rest: ‘of the ©

district receives and that ‘this
could only be. accomplished by
providing the same standard, of
facilities. ;

‘In mid-February. word was
received that the proposals. put -

forth by the School ‘Board were

acceptable to Qttawa and in
April of:that year a cheque for

$664,000 was received and .

subsequently banked _by_ the
local Boar

The. question ‘of siting . the
schoo] was not settled ' until
January. of this year and at the
time theschool Board requested
a meeting ‘with the Indian
peaple of Aiyansh to establish
the Indian educational aim ‘and
total scope of their
requirements.

At a meeting in Aiyansh early
last. February the joint

curriculum committee waa-
established to discuss and‘

define the needs of the Indian
children and whether or not

these needs could be met by -

, amalgamation,

No construction or building
plans were formulated without
“the- establishment of the
curriculum needs. It was hoped
the protilem would be settled ‘by
the March 1972 Nishga Tribal
Conference.

That date rolled around, with
no curriculum and frustration
on the part of the Committee in
trying to get together and then,

the dam broke.

IDB loans up
in B.C.

The Industrial Development
Bank, a subsidiary of the Bank
of Canada, approved 1,928 loans
totalling $85,693,000 - to
businesses in British Columbia
during its 1972: fiscal ' year,
compared with 1,428 leans for’

$63,189,000 in the previous year. .

At*the fiscal: year: ‘end; Sep-

tember 30th Jast, the: bankshad-
$197, 194,000 ‘outstanding or

committed in ‘Toans: to 47159
businesses in the ‘province,
according to the 1972 annual:

report of the bank issued today.

During — the year, IDB
authorized 5,889 loans for a total
amount of $262 million to.
businesses across Canada. - At
the close of the fiscal year, the’
bank had $717.7. million out-

Standing or committed in loans.
- to 16,075 Canadian enterprises.

In its 1972 fiscal year, IDB
received in excess of. 20,000
enquiries from businessmen
across the country. Over one
third of them resulted in ap-
plications for loans and about $4.

percent of the applications

reulted in-the authorization of
loans.

IDB during the 1972 fiscal year
assisted in financing
customers’ programs totalling
- $376.2 million., The purchase of
land, buildings, machinery, and.
_ equipment formed the. largest

“.. part of these programs , some 70, 7

The $262 million loaned by. -

IDB established an Advisory
Services department during the
year to help Promote good

smaller. Canadian businesses.
, Pamphlets about buiness
problems. and methods are
being issued without charge and

. oF smaller ‘businesses are being
held ‘in smaller centres across
Canada.

‘Because IDB was one of the
first and is now one of the
largest: industrial development

world, it has for many years
provided . guidance and per-
‘sonnel training to similar in-
stitutions «as they were.
