Doors open

to meetings

REGIONAL DIRECTORS
have agreed to open the dis-
wict’s cammiltee mectings to
the public.

Until now, those Friday night
meetings have been held in
camcra With the public allowed
only to attend Saturday morn-
ing's meeting of the full board.

That had created a curious
Situation where individuals
could only put their case on,
for example, zoning changes
and grant requests after com-
mittees had already discussed
those requests and, in many
cases, made recommendations
to the full board,

Although the committee
meetings will now be open to

Health body to be official

THE NEW body which will take
over community health services
here becomes official tomorrow.

Its 12 members are to be swom
in at a ceremony officiated by
Skeena NDP MLA Helmut Gies-
brecht.

The council is part of the
provincial governument’s New
Directions plan to create regional
and Jocal health councils to con-
trol health care decisions.

The basis of the councils is that

local people can best make deci-
sions for their communities.

Already named to the council
are Bob Kelly, who served as a
co-chair for the interim com-
munity health council, Kathy
McDonald, Micki Braid and
Nirmal Parmar.

These people were elected from
the intcrim health council. Next
year, these positions will be up
for election at the same time as
other clections take place for Io-

cal governing bodies,

Stew Christensen is the school
district’s appointed representative
while Val George represents the
city and Peggy Julseth and Sandy
Sandhals represents the regional
district,

The four remaining positions
will be filled by provincial ap-
pointees and these names are to
be released today or tomorrow.

The first order of business is to
finalize ihe community heaith

plan and a management structure,
said Bob Kelly.

“These are our two primary
tasks. After these tasks are ac-
complished, we can get on with
business,’’ he said.

One item to be taken care of is
deciding what services are to be
regional and which ones are to be
local, Kelly added.

Regional services will be
managed by a regional health
board named in late 1994,

Part of those deliberations in-

volves the future of the Skeena
Health Unit, said Kelly. .
. Also to be decided is how the
Terrace Regional Health Care
Sociely, the body which now mns
Mills Memorial Hospital] and Ter-
raceview Lodge extended care fa-
cility, fils into the picture,

Community health councils are
to receive their budgets through
the regional health council which
in turn will get its money from
the provincial government.

The Terrace and Area. Health
Council takes in Salvus to the
west, Kitwancool and Cranberry
Junction to the north, Kitwanga to
the east and down to Lakelse
Lake,

The city’s alive with theatres, art
galleries, professional sports and the
crocuses are in bloom. Tennis, anyone?

To put it mildly, spring has sprung out here. Come play
a round of golf. Stroll around the Stanley Park seawall.
And sip cappuccino at a sidewalk cafe on Robson Street.

Spring to life on the West Coast.
