City workers display
flags on their desks

WHILE THE House of
Commons voted last week
to quash the Mag-waving ef-
forts of Reformers, others
were picking up the banner.

City bylaw enforcement
officer Frank Bowsher
bought a dozen desktop Ca-
nadian flags and distribuled
them to all city hall employ-
ees last weck in solidarity
with the federal MPs.

“T'm really proud of our
flag,’’ Bowsher said. ‘If we
can’t fly it in the House of
Commons, we'll fly it at
city hall.”?

Reformers and a couple of
Liberal MPs were outvoted
194-51 on a motion that
bans the use of Canadian
flags in the House of Com-
mons.

MP Mike Scott was
among those who had
placed a flag on his desktop
in the Commons and wore a
Canadian flag tie,

The flag kerfuffle had
originally erupted after a
Bloc Quebecois MP ob-
jected to the number of Ca-
nadian flags flying during
the Winter Olympics in
Japan, which prompted
Reformers to sing the na-

tional anthem in the House
of Commons when the
issued was raised,

Scott said he was dis-

Multiplex group to form

THE CITY is close to putling its key team
in place for a planned multi-plex project.

_ The deadline for proposals from design
‘professionals was two wecks ago, as was
the deadline for locals interested in serving
on a design advisory committee.

The next step is to choose an engincer or
architect to lead the project and to name
people to the advisory committee. It will be
charged with making recommendations on
what will go into the building.

The committee will report to another
group, the project management commiltce
consisting of city and regional district staff
and elected representatives. Linda Hawes is
the councillor on that committee.

That group will in turn report io city
council, which will have the final say on
what happens.

Hawes says a big part of the final deci-

sion will be determining what's affordable.
She said it’s an open question as to whether
there should even be an attempt to take the
project to referendum this year given the
economic climate in the northwest.

But Hawes is encouraged that a number
of groups — including sports activity
groups, corporations and service clubs —
have expressed interest in raising money.

“Several arganizations have approached
either Steve Scott or myself about partici-
pating in fund raising ventures,’’ she said.

The multiplex idea rose from the results
of a survey of city residents last year.

The city’s parks and recreation advisory
commission concluded from that survey
thal a second sheet of ice combined with a
youth/communily centre and convention
centre would be the project with ihe best
chance of satisfying the most city residents.
