26 Terrace Review —— Wednesday, December 4, 1991 City council advised. on concerns of local seniors The Seniors’ Advisory Com- ‘mission ‘ offered Terrace city “council a list of concerns last month during a joint meeting with the Committee of the Whole. Among their concerns are housing, parking, wheelchair access, legal assistance and crosswalks. Commission chairman Bev _ Greening told council that there is no property set aside for future construction of seniors’ housing similar to the Willows and Tuck Ave. apartments. Greening pointed out that Twin River Estates is not an affordable option for ali seniors, and the waiting lists at the two existing apartment complexes are long. Council has agreed to schedule a meeting with the city staff, aldermien, MLA Helmut Gies- brecht and the commission to discuss the problem and consider an application to the B.C. Hous- ing Corporation to conduct a needs and demands survey. “The commission was told by aldermen that there is little the city can do about the lack of wheelchair access in existing buildings, but council added that all new retail and office con- struction is required to provide some form of accessibility. Greening acknowledged this fact but said a list of accessible buildings would be valuable to ‘handicapped residents and visi- tors in planning downtown ex- cursions. The city is presently: working on this list. The commission has two parking concerns: inappropriate use of handicapped parking. spaces, and problems created by one-hour parking zones, particu- Contributed by Bev Greening ‘The members of B.C. Old Age Pensioners Branch 73 held a suc- cessful bazaar and tea at the Happy Gang Centre on Kalum Street Nov. 16. Aprons were very popular items at the sewing table, while knitted dolls and baby goods were big sellers at the knitting stall. Many Christmas novelties were available, and the baked goods were quickly sold. Winners of the raffle were: Pat Campbell — needlepoint picture; Marlene Budiselich — crocheted. tablecloth; Ethel Rowe — cush- ’ quilts and Dorothy Sieben won the door prize — a Christmas wreath. Hf you have not yet picked up your prize, please come to the Happy Gang Centre to pick it up. We are still accepting bids on the lovely queen-sized quilt. The purchaser will be announced at the next monthly general meeting Dec. 12, ‘Bob Goodvin hosted a meeting _for the exchange of ideas to help make the Happy Gang Centre a more enjoyable and productive place. Many good ideas were brought forth, which we hope can be put into operation soon. Many of our new members are getting involved at the centre. Some helped with the pancake breakfast, and enjoyed themselves ‘so much they want to return to help again. Two workshops were held this month to make Christmas orna- ments. Under the direction of Hazel DeFrane the ladies made Christmas trees out of coat hang- ers and snowflakes out of plastic holders from canned pop. Hazel DeFrane will start ceramic classes in the New Year. Please watch for the start of this and other new events. _ The Hallowe’en pot luck sup- per was held Oct. 30 and tumed out to be a huge success. Many of the members wore costumes, while others preferred to pay a fine. If we can get enough volun- teers, we will try to remain open each day until 4 p.m. so you can drop in for coffee. If each volun- teer does one day, we should have : lots of involvement. _ Jarly in the area of the Happy Gang Centre. On the first issue, director of permits and licences Bob Lafleur is investigating the possibility of ticketing violaters — of handicapped parking spaces in private parking lots. And on the second, Lafleur is considering the possibility of implementing a seniors’ parking permit system that would allow extended periods of parking on city streets. Safety on city streets could be improved, according to the com- mission, with the addition of two more crosswalks and the polic- ing of jaywalkers. As a result, the Public Works Department is investigating the cost to provide crosswalks between Kalum and Emerson on Greig Ave. and on Lazelle between McDonald’s and the Lazelle Ave. mini-mall. In addition, council will consider improved street lighting for Kalum Ave.. crosswalks during 1992 budget deliberations. Noth- ing will be done at the present time, however, to deter jay- walkers, And then there is legal aid. Greening said the existing law- yer referral service is fine for determining the need to obtain legal advice but doesn’t address the high cost actually getting it. ale ARIES .
