B6 Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 20, 1990 Canada World Youth withdraws from Terrace Joanne Drebett by Betty Barton An earlier announcement in the Terrace Review stated that a Canada World Youth program (CWY) would be coming to this area in the fall. Budget cutbacks have necessitated a change of plan. Canada World Youth is a non- formal development education program funded through CIDA. (Canadian International Develop- ment Agency). Due to recent unex- pected Treasury Board cutbacks of two percent across the board to CWY, Canada World Youth can not afford a program in the north- west this year. The organization says transportation costs to this area would necessitate a 12 percent increase in the budget for this program. A representative of the organiz- ation was in Terrace in April to assess community interest in host- ing a Canada World Youth group. The response was most favourable. Plans were underway to have the Indonesia/Canada exchange in Terrace, Prince Rupert and Queen Charlotte City. Canada World Youth is now in the process of re-assessing their funding for next year’s programs in the hope of having the program in the northwest for 1990/91. Re- presentative Joanne Drebett encourages residents to contact their member of parliament to lobby for an increase in the budget for development projecis, and Canada World Youth specifically. Also, Canada World Youth needs a 60-person camp facility in this area for the first two weeks of the — participants’ stay in the northwest. If they could locate their camp here, rather in the lower mainland, transportation and accommodation costs could be greatly reduced. : Because the Indonesian partici- pants are not used to our temperate climate, hot water and heat are two necessities at the camp. If anyone. . - has a lead on a camp facility for. . next year please call.
