Students find jobs
despite tough times

AS SUMMER draws to a close, northern
human resource centres have tallied up
their totals for studént summer employ-
ment.

Last summer, there were I11 job post-
ings, according to Terrace summer em-
ployment officer Tamara Sweet. This
year, the goal was set at 75; a lower
number was anticipated because of the
recent economic downturn.

That goal has been surpassed — figures
gathered indicate 91 students found work
through the local student employment

centre.

However, 18 of the 109 students who
applied for jobs at the centre did not find
work. ,

“It's unfortunate,” Sweet said.

Sweet is a.student out of Prince
George and wrapped up the affairs of the
student employment office here the mid-
dle of the month.

“I’m said to see the summer end,” she
said. “I have definitely gained some life
experience and have met some, wonderful
people along the way.”

Airport use on the rise

AIRPORT PASSENGER figures so far
this year are up over the same period of
2002.

As of the end of July, 51,738 people
passed through the airport compared to
51,051 to the end of July last year.

Gains were registered in January and
February of this year over the same two
months of 2002, reflecting the success of
the airport’s new instrument landing sys-
tem which came on line last November.

In January 2002, 6760 passengers
passed through and 44 flights were missed
because of weather compared to eight
missed’ flights and 6,889 passengers in
January of this year.

In February this year, 7,211 passengers
used the airport and just four flights were
missed because of weather compared to
6,360 passengers and 22 missed flights in
February 2002.

The instrument landing system allows
aircraft to land in conditions that would
prevented them from doing so in past
years and removes a criticism that has
dogged the airport for years of being an
unreliable location.

The 51,738 passenger count to the end
of July this year is less than the equival-
ent period figure of 57,060 for 2001 but
more than the 2000 equivalent period of
50,140 passengers.
