Doug Smith said the centre is one of four projects chosen as ways Of diversifying the city's economy. The others are an assessment . of the community’s support systems for seniors, provision of wildlife viewpoints and nature trails and establishing a forestry faculty at Northwest Community College. Smith was hired this month through a $110,000 provincial government grant to assist com- munities with their economic development planning by pro- _ ¥iding access to government and private industry experts.

Nearly all of the 80 booths set rented and registrations to at- tend continue io come in, Smithers Chamber of Com- said last week. “You name it, they’re com- irig. We have welding outfits, ‘diamond drillers and somebody selling ice machines,”’ he said. One of the booths has been rented by the City of Terrace which wants to attract mining companies by selling the city as a@ servicing base. The response stiows the signficance of the mining in- dustry which poured an ‘financial benefits into the ‘ Smithers area last year, said : Harivel. aside for displays have been: merce organizer Colin Harivel estimated $10 million in direct. Colin Harivel “In 1987, a peak year, the figure was 825 million,’’ he add- ed. “‘We can’t say what will stay in Smithers, perhaps 50 per cent, but: that doesn’t include Miners, suppliers meet _in Smithers next week the multiplier of that money around town,” Harivel con- tinued, He said Smithers is an attrac- tive place for mining companies and for suppliers because it is the next largest centre on Hwyl6 after Prince George for those doing work in the north. The airport in Smithers isn’t subjected to bad weather condi- tions as the one here and the town is a regional centre for provincial government services, Harivel added. Also scheduled is a mining conference featuring reports and speakers about various nor- thwest projects — including the Eskay Creek property north of Stewart and the newly-opened Premier gold mine at Stewart. Cominco will give a presenta- tion on its SNIP property in the ‘Iskut Valley and a provincial mines official will speak on ef- forts to build a road into the valley. : Scheduled to open next week : is the revamped food floor, con- course and cafeteria at Terrace | Co-op. woe The $750,000 project began ‘last fall and includes new en- : frances and a new exterior. i At the same time, the Co-op : has moved it building supplies i store from Its Greig Ave, loca- :tion..to the former QM In- : dustries. building on.
