stewart still waits -

for Orenda reply

TERRACE »= Stewart residents

proposal, says the community” 5
mayor,

Dartene Cornell said the provin- ,

cial government © has’ yet to

respond to Stewart's opinion that -

wood from that area should be
processed in that area. —

Orenda has a forest licence near
Stewart and at first wanted to
build a pulp and paper mill in the
area,

It abandoned its preferred loca-
tion south of Meziadin Lake last
year in favour of one: south of
Lakelse Lake.

And although: Stewart filed a
nine-page bricf outlining its posi-

tion last November, residents are
still waiting for a response.
Al the same time, the govern-
_ment earlier this year commission
a scparate review to take into ac-
count native questions about the
- project.

“plan ‘to replace activity that will

be lost when Westmin closes its
gold mine this year, but that the
project was approved exclusive of

any response to the town’s posi-
tion on Orenda.

"We've had no response, none
whatsoever," said Comell.

There is mention of Stewart's
opinion in the review of the
Orenda proposal. yet. the com-
millee doing the review said any
action is beyond its mandate.

"However, these concerns have
been communicated to. cabinct
ministers for their consideration,"
the committee stated.

The same committee did recom-
mend that more be done to take
native opinions into account.

The Stewart submission of last
November said if Orenda wasn’t
interested in establishing a local
processing plant it should find
alternate sources of wood for its
mill.
