That includes local contributions, in kind do- nations, government grants and corporate donations. “Everybody is hearing thal the Liberals are gear- ing up to spend some seri- ous money,” Scott said of the federal government, “We think now is the time to put our hand up and say we're ready.” They also plan to try national corporations, par- ticularly ones with local branches or sales. “CN is a natural one to approach,” Scoit said, “Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola are very keen and general- ly quite interested in this kind of community project The flip side is they want some exposure ~ and thal’s fine,” Major industry is anoth- er possible donor. “Alcan almost 10 per cent of their workforce liy- ing here in Terrace,” Scott noted. “We know they’ve been a very good corporate citizen in Kitimat and we're hoping they would have a similar sentiment here in Terrace.” It’s also important to note, he said, that there will be a two-year window of time while construction proceeds to look for other sources of money to re- duce the tax hit. “If this thing’s approved that’s going to be part of: my job,” Scait added. “It's not going to be left to a volunteer who may or may nol get around to it.” Other ways the cost can go down is through an in- crease in the city’s tax base over time, “The more properties being taxed the smaller the amount per property that will be charged,” he said.
