Some of you may have heard of the Gitnadoix — 8.€, Parks recrea-
tion area. It is 160 times the size of Lakelse Lake Provincial Park and
is midway between Terrace and Prince Rupert.

With the exception of a faw adventurous fishermen and big game
hunters, the Gitnadolx is a land rarely frequented by humans.

‘Nestled in the Gitnadoix is Alastair Lake, a take the size of Lakelse
Lake. The lake hosts strange and exotic species of animals. For exam-
ple, trumpeter swan nesting sites can be found there. There ara only
two other known trumpeter nesting areas in B.C. ;

Furthermore, a rare sockeye spawns In the rivers here — but they
remain silver, and do not change to the well known red colour during
thelr upstream batile. ——- ,

“There are al sorts of reasons that we want to preserve this special
area”, says John Trewhitt of B.C. Parks. “First of all, t is the only large
park in the representative Jandscape of the Kitimat Mountain Range. It
is possible that the entire lake and it’s watershed could be preserved
and turned into parkland: a feat only twice belore accomplished in over
380 parks across our province.”

In 1989, B.C. Parks underwent aerial surveys to obtain an

understanding of the large mammal population in the Gitnadoix area,

. Discussions with local fishermen are helping B.C. Parks roughly
estimate the population ecology. of several fish species. ;

The Gitnadolx is classified as a recreation area. This means that if
cannot achieve full park status until current mining survey rights have
expired in 1996. .

During the years to come, B.C. Parks will use the Information obtaln-
ed by the natural rasources Inventory to base management decisions
to preserve the area.

My pet peeve for the the week
is the sight driving up Kalum
hill to Terraceview. I
” You look off to the hillside

It seems like people who trim
irees and mow grass are just
dropping them over the side of
the hill. It’s a hazardous mess..

I think this used to be one of
Vie Jolliffe’s complaints. «
Maybe residents in the area
could start beautifying the hill
