Fulure occupants of the
Social Services Center planned
for construction in Terrace ara
annoyed and frustrated by
efforts originating — with
Kitimat-Stikine Regional
District, and apparently sup-
ported by the Mills Memorial
Hospital Board to once agaln
change the site of the new
building back to the’ hospital
grounds. It would appear that
. this project will be discussed at
this Friday's. meeting of the
Regional Boardif they place the
matter on the agenda. ;
The facilily was originally
. planned for the hospital grounds
but through efforts of full-time
and part time occupants al a
meeting pressure was brought
' ta bear on the Ministry to have
the building located in a more
central area and away from the
hospital grounds because of the
social service nature of the.
‘facility.. Minister Denis Cocke.
appeared to agree with. the
proposal coming out of this
, Meeting anda tentalivesite was
£: indicated next lo the proposed
Senior Citizen Apartments on
Kalum, north of the Civic
Center.
Now il weuld appear’ thal
Mills Memorial Hospital Board
Chairman Ted Hidber and the
Regional Board Administrator
have discussed the matter and
an appeal will be made io the’
Minister to change the site back
to the hospital grounds despite
the objection of all cceupants of
the facility. :

Social Service Center should not
be constructed on the hospital
site and all of whom approve the
Kalum Street location.

It has nol been possible to
speak to Dr. Bolduc, Head of
Public Health in Prince Rupert
or a representative of the
Federal Department of Indian
Affairs. ‘ All the above are

‘prospective tenants of ‘the new

building and one can easily see
that they" are not primarily

A spokesman for the group
said thal the Regional District
is “throwing a monkey wrench .
into the works.” ‘He snid it is too
bad that this body does not
relurn. lo counting mountain
goats and staying out of local
affairs which seem to be con-
stanly held up because of

informant was referring to the

Thornhill Secondary School, the
inadequacy and delay in the
Thornhill © Dump, the
development plans for Thornhill
and several olher projects
which he claims are hung up by
an ineffective _ regional
government. .

The major objection of our
informant to the Regional

body never acts in consultation

simply goes off half-cocked Lo

and see to the construction.

It is alsa advised that this will
not be a so called Health Cenler
but a Social Service Center and
consequently should not be
constructed on a_ hospital
grounds, -In fact, John Stokes,
former Chairman of the
Terrace and District’ Com:
munity Resources Council,
wrete Premier Barrett on
February first stating that
several government agencies

‘have expressed a desperale

need for additional office space,
and that it would be beneficial
to these departments and the
sommunity if their services
were integrated to the extent of
being in the same building in
.some readily accessible down-
-town area.

“This strong feeling became a
concensus of the meeling when
the following motion was
seconded and carried without a
dissenting vote: “Moved by W.
Harvey, seconded by 5,
Travers, that we vate on (1) the
inlegration of services (2)
location of building and (3)
whether or not we should go
ahead with this plan al
present,” Carried
unanimously. 7

Reverend Stokes continues in
his letter to the Premier “In
other wards, the Terrace and
District Community Resources
Council, along with members of
the Board of Directors of Mills
Memorial Hospital and
represenlatives of the Regional
District, are not willing to
support the proposed Health
Center to be built on the grounds
of Mills Memolral Hospital. °

conditions indicate that the
community would be’ best
served through a downtown
location where the necessary
Government agencies are
housed together for greater
efficiency and service to the
public.” :

Mr. Sam Travers, Ad-
ministrator Skeena Mental

wrillen 10 Mr, Ev. Clift,

Chairman of the Kitimat-

Stikine Regional District Board

states: ‘I have indicated in my

letter to the Premier that a

‘positive aspect to having. the

Center on Mills Memorial

Hospital grounds is to develop a

closer liason with that hospital.

J would like to indicate thal Iam

in favour of a closer Hason

between the Soctal Agencies

and the Mills Memorial

Hospital. However I feel that’
this could be accomplished by

ihe establishment of a Medical -
Social Worker employed by thal

hospital. Unfortunately, ° to

date, the hospital has had to
rely. on Agency Personnel
visiting that hospital. This is
far from adequale. I am sure

that: you are aware that.
hospitals thal have employed a

Medical Soclal Worker have
had success in developing this

closer liason.”

It is not clear whether a
decision ta interfere will he
taken at ihe meeting of the
Regional District Board on |
Friday .or- whether action has
already been taken at- the
Regional District ad-
ministrative level without a
Board meeting... This will be .
revealed at the meeting
scheduled for the new Kitimal
