City to renew tourism subsidy THE TERRACE Tourism Council will likely contin- ue to be propped up by city tax dollars despite earlier plans to cut off the subsidy this year. City council is placing $35,000 in this year’s budget for the tourism group, the same size grant it gave last year. But it won't release the money unless it sees a sol- id business plan for how the tourism body plans to proceed by May 15. “It’s: been three years ‘since the city spun local tourism promotion off to the council. The idea was businesses that benefit from tourism would be put directly:. in charge of tour- ism. «promotion, council: It was also expected they’d find new sources of revenue and that the city grant would soon be elimi- nated. Instead a $40,000 grant the group has got from Hu- man Resources Develop- ment Canada the past two years is not expected to continue, although they are applying for different programs. And local hoteliers have attacked the tourism council every time they’ve tried to drum up support for a two per cent hotel/motel room tax, which would generate at least $50,000 a year, “We've beaten it to death,” acting chairman Doug Barrett told city SN at Fat ty council Feb. 25. “Every time we even mention it we get ourselves killed,” Barrett said the tourism body wants council to con- tinue its present subsidy for at least the next three years. The group’s appearance before council came after they missed three sched- uled meetings. Council had warned them they’d get nothing this year if they didn’t make their case before the . city budget was complet- ed. said. Barrett said the tourism council was not ready to plead its case, adding its have been derailed in re- cent months because its coordinator, Maria McGo- wan, has been on materni- ty leave. McGowan returns next month and he said the tourism council is confid- ent it will have the action plan the cily wants by mid-May. City councillors said it “may be too soon-for. the group to go without city support. meme via shops fe: wuicoi 7 aa LIVE BANDS 6 NIGHTS A WEEK! presents ¢''9 The Terrace Little Theatre William Van Zandt's & Jane Milmore's “Syl Directed-by Gordon Oates ‘March 16 - 18, 23 - 25, 30, 31 & April 1 $4 400 ~ Tickets Available at.

Northern Horse Supply opened last week in a new Greig Ave. lo- cation across from the Co-op. The store is also under new ownership. Ellen Hansen purchased the 12- year-old business from previous owner Lisa Hamer a month ago. She wanted a larger location with potential to carry more stock as well as more traffic than the former location on River Drive. “Downtown is a much better location to attract people who might not he riders but are still in- terested in horsey stuff,” Hansen The store is the regional epi- centre for everything horse-relat- ed: saddiery and harnesses, cloth- ing, jewelry, herbs and supple- ments, and grooming products.
