Youth Centre

asks city
for funding
assistance

TERRACE — The city’s Rec-
- reation and Community Services
- Committee will be taking a look

at a request from the Terrace
Youth Society for financial
/ assistance. According to Ella
.Goodlad, chairperson for the

society’s fund raising commit-
tee, the request is necessary
because they have been inform-
ed by the provincial government
that any funding for the project
will not be available until 1990.

According to Goodlad, the
- Terrace Youth Centre has been

open since March 4 of this year “

and the society’s 26 member/
volunteers have worked hard to
establish a recreational facility
to help youth realize their poten-
tial and develop their own per-
sonal strengths. And the
response by local youth, she
says, has been tremendous.
‘'There have been as many as 30
youths using the center on a
busy evening.”’ .

But due to limited human and
financial resources, the. center
has been limited to opening only
on Monday, Wednesday and
Friday from 7 to 10 p.m. ‘“‘The
Terrace Youth Society is very
pleased with its efforts and
results achieved to date, but this
is only the beginning. Our objec-
tive is to continuously strive to
develop programs and activities
to better’ meet the youths’
‘ needs,” says Goodlad.

Local employment

bursts back through |:

11.5 percent barrier

Terrace’s unemployment rate

‘rose above 11.5 percent again,

meaning we’re back to the old
system requiring ten weeks of
work in order to qualify for
benefits. Acting assistant
manager at the Terrace Employ-
ment Centre, Gail Gourie, said
the new system was in effect for
four weeks, until September 18.

“Anyone who filed during
that time and was told they
didn’t have enough weeks. to
qualify will be getting a notice.

ing without vehicle insurance
and operating an unlicensed

When the rate‘is under 11.5
percent, those seeking benefits

must fulfill a number of re-

quirements, including more than

ten weeks of work in some job

categories, in order to qualify.

When the area has a higher rate .

of unemployment, all are re-

. quired-to have a basic ten weeks. ©

_ Looking at employment sta-
tistics over the years, it appears
the upswing in the local
economy, bringing Terrace
under the 11.5 rate and into the
variable weeks system, was sim-
ply part of the cyclical nature of
work in the area. In past sum-
mers, unemplyment dipped to
11.7 percent (July, 1987), 11.6

(1986), and 12.8 (1985), while

January unemployment for
those years were 15.3 , 14.0, and
16.4 percent.

In 1988, unemployment rates

‘in Terrace have ranged from a

high of 12.8 percent in January
to 10 percent in June. The cut-
off number of 11.5 percent has
remained the same since 1971,
when a revision to the Unem-
ployment Insurance Act brought
in the variable entrance require-
ment.

“It was the first time in years
that we had under 11.5 percent
employment,” Gourlie . said.
