sparked the longést

session in 1985.

Mayor Jack Talstra
said the logs felled from
the range were being

NWCC
board
member
needed

With one resignation,
the board of Northwest
Community College
(NWCC) has no one
representing any area
east of Terrace.

Dirk Zutter’s resigna-
tion from the college
board was accepted by
provincial government
order-in-council number
2193 on Nov. 27, 1985.

College president Dr.
Val George said the
board has asked for a
replacement and expects
one to be appointed early
in 1986.

The nine-member
board is currently reduc-
ed to eight, said Dr,
George, and none live
east of Terrace.

Dr. George said there
is no requirement for
geograhical representa-
tion on the board, but it,
is usually done.

He has specifically re-
quested the government
to appoint someone
from the Bulkley Valley
region.
