PAGE As, THE HERALD, Wednesday, January 19, 1977

The following report, by
Margaret Langley, coor-
dinator of Terrace Com-
munity Services, was
presented at the January
meeting of the Terrace
Community Services
Society Board. ;

Terrace Community
Services continued
programs throughout the
summer months with the
assistance of volunteers and
moved into larger quarters
on August 16, 1976.

This move to larger
quarters assured adequate
accommodation to hire a
part-time Consumer Debt
Counsellor. A grant was
received by the Terrace and
District Community
Resources Society from the
Ministry of Consumer &
Corporate Affairs to provide
salary and operating ex-
penses for this new service
from September 1976. to
September 1977.

The programs ad-
ministered by Terrace
Community Services for the
Terrace and_ District
Community Resources
Society — either by grant
from or on contract with the

Department of Human
Resources are Intermediate
School Program, Meals-On-
Wheels, Homemakers
Service, Crisis Line and
Coordination of Volunteers.

Terrace Community
Services also act as the
rental agent for the recently
constructed Senior Citizens
Complex of 40 units, which is
under the authority of the
British Columbia Housing
Management Commission.
We have been able to assist
these residents in our role as
yolunteer agency,
Homemakers, Meals-On-
Wheels and in counselling.
We have also coordinated
donations to this complex
from service clubs and other
agencies to avoid
duplication and to deter-
mine genuine needs with
regard to additional fur-
nishings for the sitting
rooms, etc.

In September 1976, the
Society applied for a grant
from the federal govern-
ment under the Local
Initiatives Program to
establish a 24 hour com-
munity telephone answering
service. The grant was

Five man group
reviews Pearse
Report

What do you think about
various recommendations
contained in the report
submitted by the Royal
Commission on forest
resources?

The question is being
asked of industry, the
public, and all other in-
terested parties by the
recently formed Forest
Policy Advisory Committee
of B.C. The five-man eral
has been charged wit
reviewing the implications
and probable impact of
recommendations made by
forest economist Dr, Peter
Pearse whose report
released last November
covered practically all

aspects of forest
management in the
province.

Robert S. Waod, chairman
of the advisory committee,
explains ‘‘it is important the
potential implementation of
Dr. Pearse’s recom-
mendations is put into
proper perspective.”
Probably the most
significant aspect of the
report will be the ultimate
rewriting of the Forest
Act.”

The committee will
receive written submissions
up to March 31.

“All submissions must be
directly related to the
recommendations of the
Royal Commission Report,”

approved and has enabiea
us to provide jobs for four
full-time and one part-time
employee — two of whom
are hired through the
Provincial Rehabilitation
and Employment Program.
This program is self-
administered with
assistance from Terrace
Community Services.

previously initiated or given
approval in principle by the
Society have remained
active members of the
Society and have called
upon us for on-going sup-
port, assistance’ in
recruiting ‘volunteers or
‘making public appeals when
needed,

We have assisted such
other organizations as the
Red Cross, Heart Fund with
seeking out volunteers for
their campaigns.

At the Annual Meeting of
the Society in October a by-
law was passed increasing
the numbers of Directors
from seven ta 12 to agree
with the intent of the Society
to have 12 elected Directors
but also retaining the option
for the municipal, regional
and provincial governments
to appoint a Director to the
Board should they so desire.:
We have representation
from the, Municipality of
Terrace and the Regional
District of Kitimat-Stikine.

The Directors represent a
good cross-section of the
community from industry,
banking, hospitals, schools,
social and health services.

The Chairman: presented
to the December directors’
meeting a letter expressing
his views on what he felt
should be part of the focus of
Terrace Community Ser-
vices — that of a clearing
house for inter-agency
coordination in dealing wit
multiple problem families.
Inter-agency meetings with
this focus had already been
instituted by the Mental
Health Centre. The chair-
man’s letter was presented
to the ensuing inter-agency
meeting and it was agreed
to use Terrace Community
Services as such a clearing-
house in the future.

. As this area — miulti-

problem families — was the
concern of the original
Communit
Council we have come full
circle in identifying the need
of the families requiring
help. It is felt that multi-

problem families should be

given the breadth of inter-
agency assistance in coping,
rather than splinter help
which may only identify

many smaller problems,
seemingly not inter-related,
with the onus upon the
family to find remedy. The
inter-agency approach gives
family a multi-facetted
resource to assist them in
determining some kind of
working approach to the
problems collectively. For
example, learning or
emotional disabilities en-
countered at the primary
and elementary school level
are sometimes due to famil
strife and should be dealt
with before the child
reaches, the junior secon-
dary level where he may
decide not to continue his

education.

All of the services under
the Society’s sponsorship
have been towar

whether it be pre-schcol,
day care, mothers

seniors to enable them to be
self-sufficient in their own
homes or apartments.

Our Homemaker Service
is used substantially by such
agencies as Menta] Health,

counselling for teenagers,

approached have eén-
thusiastically volunteered to
assist us.

Hopefully, we will cover a
broad area of counselling
that can be done by con-
cerned citizens without
conflicting with the work of
the social and -health ser-
vices. Ideally," this should
augment the inter-agency
approach to assisting
families, and has been
successful as above men-
tioned when we have em-
ployed homemakers to work

with distressed families.
As much as our focus has
been on the voluntary aspect
of non-statutory social
services, we find we also
involved with volunteerism
in providing remedial health —

The useage of our services
in the community is con-
tinuously growing with
individuals, societies,
service agencies, the
municipality, local
newspapers, radio and .
television. We are regarded
as an agency that integrates
and coordinates many
services which would not
exist were they not housed
together, and as a clearing
house between the com-
munity anda wide variety of
resource agencies.
