« BETTER TRANSPORTA- ", TION into the Nass Valley “will mean more visitors «and Laxgalts'ap » (Greenville) wants to be ., ready to meet them with a “ harbour impravement pro- * ject worth $437,000. » The village and its var- » fous corporations have al- . ready spent just over " $160,000 on preliminary * work and two weeks ago, 1a further $250,000 came | from a federal grant. Due to be finished this summer, the project is to improve upon an older « small craft harbour once maintained by the federal government, says Matt Moore, a consultant who _ worked on the project. Having an improved harbour facility makes sense as the Nass Valley - will become a busier place ‘ once the road into and in _ the area becomes more drivable thanks to an on- . going highways improve- " ment program, said Moore. There'll be a new ac- ’ cess road that'll be higher than flood levels, a new *. float for small craft, a boardwalk and stalls for a fishermen’s market and se- cure parking for vehicles. In addition to the Supercycle Bicycle Model 18005 recalled pre Also coming is a new launch for smaller craft, an improved breakwater and stabilization of the share. Other monies are com- ing from village-owned en- terprises in kind or in ma- terial provided, said Moore. “DFO has been getting aut of its old small craft harbour program for sev- eral years now,” said Moore. “The village will now be the owner of this project.” The project has the name Gitxaat’in which, in Nisga’a, means the land on which the people are living. oe The grant comes from a federal program estab- lished to help communities hit hard by commercial fishing closures. In this area, 16-37 Community Futures has been the con- duit between the program and communities. There’ll be 10 weeks of employment for 14 people and the creation of two full time jobs once the project is finished. In terms of using the harbour as an attraction for recreational fishermen and outdoor enthusiasts, Bill ’ 1402-8; 71-1403-6 viously, the three mod- Moore of the Greenville Construction Company anticipates a continual growth. “With these improve- ments, we expect a lot more visitors,” he said. The company is owned by the Laxgalts’ap Deve- lopment Corporation which is itself owned by the La- kalzap village government. Mitch Stevens, a depu- ty chief of the village and the person in charge of the development corporation, was also on hand two weeks ago when the pro- ject was was discussed at 16-37’s offices here. This project was one of several announced so far this year. Money for community projects in areas where the through $437,000 project: ‘Nass harbour improved Matt Moore loss of the fishing industry has hurt the most comes from federal fisheries and Western Economic Diver- sification, which is part of the federal industry depart- ment. More grants made THREE GITXSAN villages east of here are also on the list to receive money from the federal program designed to help communities hurt by commercial fish closures. Gitwangak will receive $250,000 from the federal government for a heritage village project, Gitanyow $250,000 for a historic village project and Kispiox, in the Hazeltons, will receive $250,000 for a visitor centre and base camp.
