No harbour

A preliminary population
cauntfor Kitimat was presented
at the regular meeting of the
Kitimat City Council on Monday
evening. The count from
Statistics Canada advised that
Kitimat showed a population of
11,813 exciuding those people
enumerated at a temporary
address such as a hotel or
hospital.

Council also received a letter
from the Federal Department
of Transport in answer to their
request for information on port
development in the Kitimat-
Prince Ruperl area. The letter
stated that the decision had
been made to declare Prince
Rupert a National Harbour and
this had been based on “a
number of factors following
long- consultation with many
interests invalved; and a
number of , studies on
commodity flow forecasts
conducted for the Federal
Government”. These studies
have apparantly indicated the

strategic national significance '

of the Prince Rupert area

particularly. ins. view-of.. likely:

transportation. patterns. for the
next decade. Other factors
taken into consideration were
agreement by the Provincial
Government, manufacturing
and transportation companies,
the already established
facilities services and available

labour in the Prince Rupert’

area.

this designation of Prince
Rupert dees not automatically
exclude other ports and
harbours in the region from
Government interest and that it
did not mean the government
would be investing a lot of non-
recoverable funds into Prince
Rupert. - :

' Alderman Angle said that In
her opinion it looked like a

This letter also stated that

definite decision had been made
though she believed the local
city council had still not been
told why.

CNR will be given a period of
two years in which to remove an
old bunk car from their station
platform and replace it with a
permanent building. The bunk

-ear which is located to the south

of the CNR station building has
been ‘used as office space and
accommodation for the CN's
section Foreman. Since no

permit has been issued for the -

use of this structure and since it
is a sub-standard building it is
an infringement municipal
regulations.

Mr. J. Mekechuk,
Maintenance Engineer for CNR
out of Prince George has
written the City Council saying
a permanent building to house
the office and residence of the
foreman will be budgeted
constructed in. the future and
asked for permission to bring in
a portable trailer until such
time,

in Industrial Zones may be used
as living quarters where it can
be shown to the satisfaction of
the Authority Having
Jurisdiction that their residence
on the premises is essential to

the operation of marine, air and :

rail transportation facilities.”

Alderman Angle questioned the
necessity of having thé foreman
live there since there are

‘residential areas near the CNR
- station,

Alderman Banyay
thought that the CNR has
always been a problem since

they have a federal charter and -

thus have certain privileges.

Alderman Don Stickney felt
that if council were to grant this
special privilege they must do
so for a period of only 2 years,

According to Section 9262 of.
‘the Municipal Code ‘buildings ..

for Kitimat

This was agreed to, and passed
by the rest of the council,
Alderman Banyay requested
that City Council in Kitimat
contact CP Air and the Dept, of
‘Transport to request both better
land facilities and, better ground
service at the Terrace-Kitimat
- Airport. He stated that several
years ago a cP
representative. at - a
meeting with Council and
promised improvement of the
present service; though
improvement of the present
improvement was noted in the
first year there has been no
more since. He also mentioned
that a study was to be done of
the airport and that since
Council had not seen this yet
they should find out what was
holding it up.

The airport he pointed out
serves 30,000 people and that
these people should be able te
rely on the airportas a means of
getting in and out of the area.
Instead he said that now in both

summer and winter when it is _

often difficult to land and
passengers must be routed to

-Princée ’ Rupert.“ making- it:

extremely inconvenient for all
concerned. He mentioned cases
where people with small
children had to wait several
hours before getting to the
Prince Rupert airport and then
they were given a 50 cent food
voucher. With such a large
population which is growing
day Mr. Banyay Felt that
Council should demand better
service for the peoples it
represents, —

“Funds for the improvement of
the airport were apparently
budgeted 2 years ago but these
were later withdrawn for
financial reasons. Council
maved to write to the Dept. of
Transport regarding bringing
anexpert into the area to get his

opinion on costs and equipment
involved in upgrading the
present service. .

City Council in Kitimat
approved a plan to subdivide -
and allow B.C. Hydro and
Power Authority to build a new
office on Forest Avenue at the ,
recent minicipality meeting.
Though Council passed the plan,
Alderman Angle disapproved of
iton the grounds that the public
can now easily pay their bills
and make complaints by going
to the present office in Kitimat’s
City Centre, and that when the
office moves to the outskirts of
town it will be quite hard for
most people to get out there,

operates a valuable facility for
the whole community at a cost
below that of most public
recreational facilities, This they
said is done in part by members
contributing labour and trade
and management skills in
addition to fees and dues.
Though in 1969 it looked like the
club might be a.financial failure
the new report indicated that

they had come into he position .

of being able to start providing
for the continuity of their
community contribution.

Participation anticipated

for the 1871-72 season

showed 272 people involved -

in the club leagues, 192
playing inschool curling and 116

peopie renting the ice for -@

leagues. This gives a total of 580
people using the club, Rentals to
service ¢lubs and company

groups and individual ice sheet . %

rentals on Saturday evenings
ensure a chance for everyone in
the community to use the ice.

Before Council discussion got
underway Alderman Stickeny
wirthdrew from bath discussion
and voting stating that as he us
a member of the club and at one
time signed some notes on the

club he felt he should stay out, °

However, Mayor Springer who
is also a club member felt that
since he-was not on the
executive he would vote as he
would on any other grant
request, :
Alderman Angle who moved
to give the club the grant felt
that since they were providing
their own recreation at a
cheaper cost. than the
municipality could, that this
was reason enough to give them
