VIA changes
suggested

DEEP REDUCTIONS in the
$8.9 million deficit now sad-
dling Via Rail's Skeena pas-
senger run from Jasper to
Prince Rupert are possible if
equipment and schedules are
changed, suggests a report.

The report, commissioned
by northern municipalities,
says the deficit could be cut
by doing away with the cur-
rent full-service slyle of train
with sleeping cars to self-
propelled cars plying the rails
during daylight bours,

A belter connection between
the north and south is a pos-
sibility by combining the ser-
vice with B.C. Rail’s North
Vancouver to Prince George
route,

The report’s authors suggest
that concentrating on tourism
will bring a healthy revenue
retum.

Regarding the Seven Sisters
project, Bates said the goal is to
raise sufficient money through
the stock market to launch the
first phase. He figures that will
take $7 million.

The proposal — estimated to
cost $22 million in all — involves
a main lodge at Doreen linked to
four lodges spaced along a 90-

. kilometre network of mountain
trails. Included is a plan to build
12 remote helicabins in the sur-
rounding area, and an ecological
theme park, Agreements have
been reached with native bands
living in the area.

The project could house up ta
40 hikers per day, targeting in
particular an international
clientele from Germany, the east-
em U.S., California and Japan,

“The market for such facilities
and service is demonstrated by
operations of such hiking trails as
the Milford Track in New
Zealand, which is fully reserved
two years in advance,’’ a release
from the company states,

from the provincial government,
which has been hashing out a
policy to regulate the emerging
backcountry recrealion industry
in B.C, The Seven Sisters project
has been a test case for the pro-
cess.

Although an interim policy was

announced in July, the new Com-
mercial Backcountry Recreation
Policy has yet to be announced.

Until that happens, Bates said,

planning is held up because land
tenure is considered the key asset
to the Seven Sisters project.

Charles Porter, a senior policy

analyst with the Land and Water
Programs Branch, said the policy
anmouncement is imminent.

“This is a really complicated

policy because as you can im-
agine there’s a lot of con-
troversial
tracts of Crown Jand,’’ he said.

Expert opinions must be

solicited from different govern-
ment agencies before anything
‘can be adopted, he added.

Many of our communities chlorinate their drinking water to kill bacteria, Although chlorination can also form harmful by-products, its benefits are much
greater than the small risk of health effects from these compounds.
