But like Stephen Leacock’s character we,,seem to have a. situation where the town IS: aatting onits horse and riding off in all directions, at ‘once. The Regional District ‘of Kitimat-Stikine already has an ecqnam commissioner, John Pousette. B.C.

There is talk of an economic development commissioner for the District of - Terrace and-or a technical. development officer. And the Chamber of Commerce. Is preparing a study paper. on the creation of a permanent position of an development officer. For years the function of: ‘the Regional District of Kitimat-Stikine has been cloaked in - secrecy.

The point Is. that what the regional | district | has been doing In the area of economic _ -development in the past few years is anyone’s guess. They've been spending taxpayers money ° _ to keep the Information they gather away from . , developing its own Interests? Since the regional . “district includes the .. Terrace strike out on its'awn? ’ research to attract new‘ but very little action come out of that bureaucratic level. The question Is where: does Terrace begin different communities is It enough to leave Ht in the hands of their research départment? Should hould ‘residents- support yet another lev 1} of planning ‘and dustry or’ ‘should council simply carry on in th e way they have In the past few months? * my Some input from ‘people: “aths community might help council to make up its minds. There ‘has already been some positive discussion on a _ assembly and adsoctation. this subject but so far ng one wants to duplicate what already exists. © One approach Is.to invite B.C. Research info | the area to talk:with local officials before it makes up. its mind which of the. B.C. communities it wants to go Into over the next few years. Terrace could be one of a possible six. After an Initlal outlay of several thousand - dollars a B.C. Research officer in Terrace would be self-sustaining and would give It a base In the northwest to work from. Being located In the community would give Terrace an edge an industrial and economic development. Call a council member with input. Your comment could be the key to.
