shoots up

TERRACE -- The city’s popula-
tion grew by 86 per cent to
11,433 between 1986 and 1991,

And that gives it the highest ~

growth rate of the three largest
municipalities in the northwest,
says Statistics Canada.

Add in Thornhill’s 7.1 per cent
growth to 7,173 and the immedi-
ate area can make a strong case
for being the largest concentra-
tion of people in the northwesi.

That’s bolstered by the num-
bers of people living on the Kit
sumkalum and Kitsclas reserves.

As of the end of December
1991, the population on the Kit-
sumkalum reserve was 187 while
that of the Kitselas reserve was
87.

The population of Kitimat grew
by one per cent over the five
years to 11,305 while Prince
Rupert grew by 5.5: per cent for
16,520 peopie.

These figures were gathered
during Statistics Canada’s census
"snapshot" of the country's popu-
lation June 4,1991.

The population of the Kitimat-

6.5 per cent to 42,053 people,

Northern growth figures were
about half of the 13.8 per cent in-
ctease recorded for the entire pro-
vince, That gives B.C, a popula-
tion now of 3,282 million.

This growth rate was the high-
est of all the provinces.

Across the country, the popula-
tion went up by 7.9 per cent, be-
tween 1986 and 1991 to 27:296
million people, '

Thal’s nearly double the
amount of people that lived in
Canada in 1951,

Statistics Canada attributes the
growlk lo increased immigration,
decreased emigration and a stable
nalural increase,

There were 3793 dwellings in
Terrace, 2470 in the Thomhill
area, 3843 in Kitimat and 5816 in
Prince Rupert, census figures
show,

The number of dwellings in
B.C. increased to just’ . over
1,.250,000, giving the province
12.4 per cent of the national total.

THERE'S A COLD HEARTED
THIEF IN YOUR HOME.

WE'LL GIVE YOU $50° TO TURN IT IN.

It’s lurking outside the back door. Or in the shadows of the
basement. It’s the humming, whirring, clicking, old second
_ Tefrigerator. And it’s robbing you of cold cash — an
old inefficient second fridge can cost you up to
$100 a year to run.

WE’LL COME AND GET IT.

We can take the problem off your hands. We'll pick up your
old operating fridge (10 cu. ft, to 24 cu. ft. size) free of charge,
dispose of it in an environmentally
safe manner and send you a cool $50.
This program is a Power Smart

initiative from B.C.Hydro.
