i 2 Terrace Review — - Wednesday, Say, 1989, TERRACE | — _ During a brief visit here last week, B. C. Lieu- tenant: Governor David Lam told an audience at.a Chamber of Commerce sponsored lunch- eon that Terrace must. prepare itself for a fundamental change in its economy. . “Terrace, to me, is like B. c. — unique,’’ | Lam said. ‘‘We are 7 on the verge of an explosion of prosperity.’’? The change -that will trigger that explosion,: he.’ predicted, is the change from an economy driven by resource ex- traction to one. driven by what he termed ‘‘the human resource base’’. That base involves an in- creasing focus on the-value of activities like tourism servicing and the development of new technologies rather than the sale of commodities. “In Terrace, you have every- _ thing.’ Sooner or later you, will | have the same experience .as Whistler, a four-season tourist destination. ‘You will have to chart your own course, but you ‘are certainly on the brink of an explosion — _ you have all the in- - | nte rest rates stall | a aa Copperside TERRACE — Although some cleanup of the property on the corner of Kalum and Davis has ‘begun, the actual construction of the Copperside III conven- ience store complex’ planned for the site won’t begin for at least six to eight months, says owner Bob Lavoie. Interest rates are too high at the present time, he says, but cleaning up the lot and drawing up the blue prints means every- thing will be set to go when they drop. received city council approval in principal several months ago and only needs approval of the final plan. Council iook this approach to allow Lavoie to proceed with the plan and make ' financial.arrangements while at the same time. keeping some control over the project to in- sure it will fit in with the aes- thetics of George Little Memorial Park. ‘The Copperside Ill proposal sredints," he stated: Lam also forecast. ‘other . changes on a global scale that Terrace, as a part of B.C., will -be ina strong Position to. ex- ploit. One is the. change in the- center-of world growth. ‘It has. been said: that the 19th. century -. belonged to" Britain‘and Europe, ve th ° century; belongs to ica, and the Bist- century: will belong to the ‘Asia-Pacific : countries,”” he told the audience. ‘Finally, he predicted-an up- surge in trade and communica- tion between: northern and southern hémisphere countries. “In this new flow of business, dialogue and interaction, B.C. is uniquely. situated.”” Lam came to Canada decades -ago.at the age of 43, unable to speak English and possessing no ‘apparent saleable job skills. In the time since his arrival he has become one of Canada’s most - prominent entrepreneurial and philanthropical figures. He had nothing but warm words for his adopted homeland. “My appointment (as ‘Lieu- tenant Governor) | was a milestone in the history ‘of © Canada,”” he reflected. “lt ‘shows that Canadian people don’t care if you are born here; as long as you love and serve the people, they will recognize you. You have invested in me: ‘how will [return that? By serv- ing the people, by meeting with them,.by talking with them to in- spire and encourage them.” Lam. noted that: he was so . _overwhelmed at: first by his ap- | pointment ‘that’ he told his secretary — Michael Roberts, son-in-law of Terrace resident Roy Greening — to accept every possible invitation. He admitted - that was an unrealistic ap- proach: ‘My wife has served me with strike notice,” he joked. Lam’s address was followed by an exchange of gifts that in- cluded a donation in his name from the Chamber of Commerce to the Northwest Community College endowment fund. The Lieutenant Governor’s visit concluded with the presen- tation of the Governor General’s Bronze Medal of Achievernent to Caledonia Senior Secondary School graduate Janet Lennox.’ “chee | o 1 year. _ - $24, 00 a) Money Order Please send a subscription to: te _ Name__ _ “ Address re Postal Code ‘Seniors in Terracé and District $12.00 ° ~ Seniors, outside of grerrace and.

Forest commission — continued from page 1 Relations Board chairman Don Munroe, IWA president Jack Munro, and former B.C. Lieu- tenant Governor Bob Rogers. The effectiveness of the new_ commission will be determined by how much weight | the ministry gives its recommenda- tions. Parker said they will be given ‘‘a great deal of weight... it would be foolish not to pay at-~ . tention to them.”” ~ The ministry has already ‘set out three priority assignments — for the commission; Parker said; @ Advising the ministry of the effectiveness of Tree Farm Licenses as a form of tenure; @ Recommending ways to im- prove public participation in forest planning — and manage- ment; @ Reviewing and recommend- — ing ways to improve forest ‘harvest practices, with a special . emphasis on clear-cutting and associated practices and their ‘. impact. Parker expects the commis- -sion to become active in about six weeks. In the mean time, he noted, the ministry’s intended action to convert Forest Licenses to Tree Farm Licenses — a pro- - posed policy that was the subject - of extensive public hearings —~ — has been indefinitely suspended. * ie Visa or bring this form to: Terrace Review — VEG: 407.
