The city went to great

‘lengths to keeps its identity —

a secret throughout the ne-
' gotiation of the deal.

Rather than using a local
realtor the city hired Calder-
. wood Realty of-Smithers to
negotiate the buy.

“The buyer’ S agent put

the contract in his own name ‘

and said he would be assign-
ing it to his client,”
explained.
Negotiating big real es-
‘tate transactions is frequent-

ly done that way when the .
purchaser does not want to —

». be identified until the deal is
done, he added.
, Asimilar transaction took
place when the property for
the Wal-Mart. development
was bought. =.
-'Talstra defended the
city’s decision to use an out-
-of-town realtor, *

“Who are you going. to
‘pick without snubbing -the
one you didn’t pick?” he
said:about choosing a local
realtor, adding Calderwood

- has extensive experience
with transactions of this sort.
“We thought the best way of.

' doing that was with dealing

with an independent body.”
Jennifer Lewis of the

Society

said the land could be used
for some. very exciting tour-

‘ism opportunities. —

Some of the potential -

. uses of that area include the
development ‘of a First Na-
tions cultural centre.
_. «‘Maybe.a First Nations
interactive cultural museum.
- with a carver.in there, a jew-

elry maker and your shops —

as well as a convention cen-
‘tre that is open to the public
“to use,” Lewis says.

“*Just think of how many

people come off that (Via
Rail) train. Rail is a high end
tourism product not every-
‘one can afford 'to‘do that:'

“Tf we can make an im-

‘pact’ ‘visually through the ~

train, similar to what Rupert
- is doing with the cruises, then
people will come back.”
And tourism president
Peter Gill said the buy sur-
prised him, but he’s happy
the city has come forward.

strike did not lead parents to
seek spots for their children
in independent schools, says
the principal of Centennial
Christian Academy.
“The strike hasn’t led to
calls,” said Curt Tuininga
during the walkout.
The principal added just
one enquiry had come in
from the mother of two —
‘one of whom already attends
the. kindergarten to Grade
12 school — about her other
daughter possibly switching —
