A FOOD FAIR is coming to the Skeena ‘Nall by next month in
the space once occupied by Universal Workwear. Kelly Knorr
of Everlast Developments is one of those gutting the interior of

TERRACE — The Skeena

three tenants for a food court
it's installing.

Mall spokesman Carroll
MacLean said last week
Delaney’s will move from its

current location in the mall
and that a Tim Horton fran-
chise will open when renova-
tions are complete in mid-.
April.

The food court is going in-
to the former Universal
Workwear space. That store
moved closer to Overwaitea

the space to make room for three. food outlets.

Mall has lined up two of .

last month.

MacLean said the search .
for a third food court tenant
continues.

“We're. looking for a
Chinese food outlet.
Historically, Chinese food is
the Number One seller in
food courts,” ‘he said... ~

There'll be 98 seats. when
the food court opens.

MacLean said the food
court idea is to offer a variety
of food products and that it
will operate only during ~
regular mall hours.

TERRACE — Pacific Northern
Gas is. moving its customer.ser--
vices section from: its Hwy]16 fh

location to one on Lakelse Ave,
April 1.

The move is to give other
company operations more room
at the main building, manager
Wayne Epp said last week.

“We've grossly outgrown our
building here and this is not a
year in which we can look, at an
expansion,” he added.

Seven or eight employees willl
be moving over to the new
quarters located in the Terrace
Mini-Mall in the space recently
vacated by First Choice Travel.

That company took space in the

mall's new addition.

The customer services section
will be there for two or -thrée
years at which time Pacific Nor-
thern Gas can contemplate: an
expansion, said Epp.

VIA train :
has new job

TERRACE — VIA’s northwest -

passenger train service is safe
until at least this October.
That’s when. the» Skeena,

which travels back and. forth:
from Jasper to. Prince Rupert .

three times a week, ends double
duty as a special tourist .run
from Jasper to ‘vancouver
beginning in June.

The. Jasper-Prince Rupert
route is one of eight passenger.
services VIA is considering gut-

ting unless: the federal: crown.

corporation gets more subsidy
from the federal government.
Ward on that is expected soon.

“It would seem logical and
likely . (passenger. service will
continue to October),'” said
VIA spokesman. Dianne
Graham last week when asked
about the future of the Skeena
run,

She said the Jasper to Van-
couver service; it'll run three
times a week on alternate day?
from VIA's Canadian transcon-
tinental run, makes sense’ for
the summer because of the high
demand to see the Rockies: —

' Skeena equipment is now at-
tached to the end of the Cana-
dian for the run into Vancouver
from Jasper.

“But . VIA: is: ‘converting: the.

Canadian from steam-generated

power for its passenger cars to. -

electricity: from the locomotive,
said Graham...

And since the Skeena ian’ be
ing: - converted. yet,” it: doesn’t
make’ sense: to: combine: two

types: ‘of ‘equipment * ‘on one 7.

train, she said,
“The two. systems: just aren't

interchangeable,” Graham add- .

She : ‘said ‘she: doesn't know
when the Skeena equipment is

to be‘converted from steam to.
electricity under. a VIA program

that?ll ‘last two. years... -
“The new ruit from Jasper to

‘Vancouver is: scheduled to run im
at the same time, of day as the |
‘transcontinental. Canadian,

* There’ ti be an hour and a half

wait after arriving in Jasper

from Vancouver to leave for
Prince. Rupert and a seven hour
wait after arriving in Jasper
from. Prince: Rupert for the run
to Vancouver... .

Using the Skeena from J asper
to Vancouver means there'll be

- summer train service on. that

route six times 8 week this sum-
mer.
