Hartley Bay is located at the southern entrance to Douglas Channel and Kitkatla is situated on the northern shore of Dolphin Island about 55 kilometres due south of Prince Rupert. The Regional District of Kiti- mat-Stikine has notified the Ministry of Municipal Affairs of the proposed change, and will be mecting with representatives of the villages involved to discuss the criteria used in making their decision as well as the process involved in actually making the change. Hazelton director Pete Weeber has suggested that if the Regional District of Kitimat- Stikine is going to give a piece of real estate away, they should be asking Municipal Affairs for 1991). Coastal villages seek to leave regional district another piece of real estate in return. Directors with a penchant for empire building suggested asking for all of Vancouver Island, or the Queen Charlottes, ‘or Port Edward with its indus- trial base, but a more reasonable proposal was Dease Lake. An administration report lists the population of Hartley Bay at 214 (1986 Census) and Kitkatla at 421. A total of 635 people, just short of 15 percent of Elec- toral Area ’C’. The balance of Electoral Area °C’, which basi- cally consists of the region from Rosswoad south excluding Ter- race, Thornhill and Kitimat, contains a population of 3,705. If the change is made, the implication for the 3,705 people left in Area ’C’ include reduced voting power at the board table. The regional district voting unit is 2,000 and reducing the popu- lation from 4,340 to 3,705 reduces the Area ’C’ directors weighted voting strength from three to two. Per capita government grants would be affected but the change would have little affect on prop- erty taxes. The net taxable leave assessment lost would be only $120,000. The area in question, however, is rich in resources. Throughout the area, there are forestry values, recreational and tourism opportunities, potential aquaculture sites, a commercial fishery, and substantial mineral values on Banks Island. In favour of the two commun- ities who wish to secede, though, are their strong com- munity ties with Prince Rupert and the fact that they’re already within the boundaries of Prince Rupert’s School District #52. Kitkatla and Hartley Bay were once part of Schoo! District #80 in Kitimat but the province changed that in 1977. Redrawing the regional district boundaries then, would simplify Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District’s method of providing School District #52 with their required voters list. At the present time, Skeena-Queen Charlotte staff must access the Kitimat-Stikine Area ’C’ voters list and extract the voters within Schoo! District #52.
