Community Futures
Business Development Centre

It could’ take considerable

time and space to describe all the |
valuable services available ‘at.
Terrace’s new 16-37 Community.
Futures Business Development
Centre, but there is a much bet- -

ter opportunity available. The

Business Development Centre is —

holding an open house this Fri-
day between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m.
in. their office located at
101-4650 - Lazelle’ Ave. in the
Credit Union Building. Manager
Joe Whitney, Planner/Co-
ordinator Reg Stowell and Assis-
tant Administrator Charlotte
Guno will be on hand to describe
business development programs
which could provide a key to
future success for local would-be
entrepreneurs. . .

There is of course the
possibility that some people may
not consider themselves a part of
the business community and not
bother to take the time; that
could be a mistake. You don’t

about this: there are a number of
people in town who could use
help: with housekeeping and
child care. They may be single,
single parents, or perhaps it’s a
situation where both parents
work outside the home. How
much would they be willing to
pay for a little sewing and some
laundry?

‘These ideas may Or may not
spark any interest but there are a
number of people in the area

‘who. are either. unemployed or

who are working but would like
the independence of self-

-employment and have ideas of

their own. And for anyone with
an idea, the Business Develop-
ment Centre is the place to go.
For the unemployed, says
Whitney, there’s the Self Em-
ployment Incentive Program.
For people with an idea there’s a
free advisory service. Many
good ideas have been short-lived
in the business world because of
poor management techniques or
a lack of bookkeeping skills, but
