The building which is
completely paid for, is a two-
structure with approxi-
mately 1,550 square feet of
on both floors plus an
additional 1,300 more in the
basement meeting hall.

This provides ample room
for offices for the officers and
staff on the main floor and
leaves the top floor free for
renting out.

Each office has its own in-
dividual carpet and type of
wall panel. All the rooms are
well lighted and the building is
completely air conditioned.

The building has aroused
interest among the other
labour organizations in
Kamloops and a number of
them have been seeking office
space. At the moment the
Carpenters’ Union and the
NDP-MLA Gerry Anderson
have rented offices.

The basement hall is also
proving popular as a meeting
place and a number of labour
unions are renting it for their
meetings.

The Committee members
appointed by the Local to look
after the building
arrangements are Kevin Kelly,

- Larry Jensen, and Bert Sedor,

who are to be congratulated for
a job well done.
