“phe Kitimat-Stikine Regional “District board of directors has finalized their response to. the Ministry of Environment’s Rec- reation Fisheries Branch discus- sion paper, ‘SA New Approach to Guide Angling -Manage- ment’?, But not every board - ) the regional. district recommen- member agrees with its content. The primary area.of disagree- ment centers around the relative priority given to the Native food fishery as compared to conser- vation practices and the recrea- tional and commercial fishery. _ In the regional district’s draft — ‘report, one recommendation by ‘Hazelton director Gordon Se- bastian suggests that the recrea- tional sport. fishery should be ‘given the lowest priority of all ‘user groups. Half the directors . wanted this changed to give the Native fishery top priority, . while the other half felt that the Tecreational fisherman should be given rights equal to all other - ‘user groups. The latter position was approved, along with one other change: better coordina- _ tion between provincial and fed- eral fishery authorities. The ‘draft was approved and will be . presented to the ministry. Better coordination between provincial and federal authori- ties was felt to be an important . issue during the discussion be- cause any regulatory changes Killed and injured workers honored The city has proclaimed April 28 as an official ‘Day of Recog- . - nition’’ for workers killed or in- jured on the job. The day will be marked by one minute of silence at 11 a.m. by local CUPE workers in memory of the dead and injured. According to CUPE Local 2012 president Julia Mitchell, there were more than 1,000: workplace fatalities and over a_ half-million on-the-job injuries’ during 1988 in Canada. As well, thousands of other workers died of occupational diseases. She says Labor Canada has esti- mated these incidents cost $20 billion annually and in terms of both lives and dollars and that’s _ just too high ‘a price to pay. ~ Not revealed in these stats, however, is the pain, suffering and ‘sacrifice by families, neigh- bors, co-workers and friends. And in most cases, she says, this other side of the tragedy goes virtually unnoticed. In 1987, 32 '. loggers died in B.C. Last year there were 27 deaths. And the - work goes on while the statistics - continue to grow. Mitchell says that it is hoped the Day of Recognition and the --6ne-minute silence will bring at- mixed reaction in regi would be administered provin- cially and therefore only address the steelhead problem.
