The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, April 18, 2001 - AS

Our apologies for any inconvenience this error ;

PACIFIC NORTHERN Gas has actually increased its warkforce here in recent
months despite layoffs elsewhere in setting up a call centre in Terrace. Mar-
garet Durando is one of 11 customer service reps who together answer up
to 400 calis a day in the call centre. PNG's move to close regular customer
service offices was just one of the steps the company took to cut costs after

Methanex, the region’s biggest gas user, shut down last summer.

Room tax eyed again

Tourism promotion needs
more money, councilior says

CITY councillors are once
again saying a hotel room
tax may be the best way to
generate money to pro-
mote tourism here.

““T think it may have to
come,” councillor Lynne
Christiansen said last
week, adding more money
must be put into tourism
promotion but the city has
little to spare.

Mayor Jack Talstra
noted Smithers and Prince
Rupert both have the room

’ ‘fax.

“A two per cent tax
would faise .at least
‘$50,000 ftom: hotel guests,

“who generally aren’t local

taxpayers.

But hotel operators
loathe the idea, particular-
ly if it resulted in a tax at
Terrace hotels and no tax
at ones just outside city li-
mils. :

“It’s been mentioned
twice and it fell flat
twice,” said Maria Mc-
Gowan, the Terrace Tour-
ism Council’s coordinator.

McGowan and tourism
counci! members appeared
before’ city council] last
week to reinforce the work
of the council and its plans
for this year.

big increases in RCMP
