Stewart trustee Kirsten Chapman returned “ unopposed, Gordon Sebastian fills one Hazelton seat by acclamation with a second seat deft vacant, and no one filed for nomination from Kitwanga or Kitwancool, leaving that seat empty as well.

Getting the Inel supplies out, she sald, was made possible by Terrace's TransProvincial Airlines, who shipped the food free of charge. Black says she hopes the generosity of Davis and TransProvincial might set a precedent that the numerous other mining exploration com _ panies in the region decide to follow. we ee mee ee et
