TERRACE — A local group
which acts for low or fixed in-
come people has received a
$44,500 grant from the Law
Foundation of B.C.

This is the second time in two
years the Terrace Anti-Poverty
Group Society has been financ-
ed by the foundation.

Society spokesman Gerald
King said the grant gives it a
sound base from which to
Operate.

‘Formed in 1983, the society
before had relied on local con-
tributions. ‘

‘‘We’re very happy. There's
been a constant demand for our
services,’’ said King.

Last year, the society handled
700 cases and made 300 refer-
rals to other agencies,

The society concentrates on

three areas — helping people
who deal with the social services
and housing ministry, ‘helping
people with unemployment in-
surance claims and acting as an
advocate on landlord and te-
nant cases.

Taken together, those three
areas come under the legal aid
category for which the law
foundation will give grants,

for their clients.

And while the society
welcomes the grant, King said it
is looking at ways to become
self sufficient.

One of these is a bingo it
holds Thursday nights at the
Lucky Doliar Bingo Palace.

“Should the law foundation wt

source,” said King. .

Money from the bingos this
year means the society will be
able to hire help and establish a
school lunch program for
children of low or fixed income
families.

The society is also planning
legal education workshops this
year, said King, ee

Patti Barnes, co-ordinator at

The $43,350 grant for the
project comes from a combined
