bl Kitsumkalum Mountain -.- didn’t make it as a ski hill, but * Alderman .Danny~ Sheridan thinks. the mountain can. still be “used as a major tourist attrac- tion — as a game farm. ; - Sheridan points out that the 7 tourist InfoCentre statistics indi- cate tremendous growth in the. local” tourism . industry: there could: be. ‘as many as 38,000 visitors ‘this. summer. It’s the city’ s responsibility to encour- age that growth and encourage privately developed attractions that would make tourists want to stay in the Terrace area ~. longer. One of the top tourist enquit- ies or questions asked, says Sheridan, is, ‘“Where can we see - _ a Kermodei Bear?”’ But all any- one can do at the present time is to give them directions to the city dump, hiking trails, or city hall where they can view a stuffed one, Sheridan says all | three of these options are either unacceptable or impractical. His solution is a well sited, environmentally designed, con- trolled game farm or park with large enclosures stocked with Northwest wildlife. He envisions a development where wildlife would be housed in specially designed compounds large. enough to portray a natural environment and ensure the health of the animals. He sug- “gests the development could in- clude, Kermodei, black and grizzly bears, several species of ‘deer, mountain goat and sheep, moose, beaver, lynx, wolverine, ' fox, porcupine, marmot, wolf, martin, mink, a variety of birds, anda botanical garden featuring Native plants. Another sugges- tion made by Sheridan is a lodge for lectures, videos and conces- sions. . - He suggests ‘the ‘animal collec- “tion could be acquired through | Fish and Wildlife’s entrapment program, particularly - through - their contract entrapment pro- gram which could provide an- other source of revenue for cone . iractors as well as provide them, with a placement solution ‘for. | problem animals. Other advan- tages cited by Sheridan include an educational experience “for Northwest students, tapping 1 the |... estimated 15,000 annual : visitors to the Seven Sisters hiking trails, ‘providing a new winter experi- ence to. Shames Mountain skiers, and. new employment op-: portunities — at the game farm ‘itself. “Sheridan estimates es the num- ber of visitors to-a local game farm could be as high as 100,000 annually but says a more conser- vative figure might be 25,000 to 45,000 visitors per year. He says this could mean a revenue of $250,000 to $450,000 annually. Council has endorsed Sheri- dan’s proposal in. principle and asked .Tourism and Economic Development Officer Peter | Monteith to -proceed with ex- . ploring grant funding - “and, to engage market and game ‘farm. |. specialists to prepare a compre- hensive feasibility study. A short-term select committee has also been created which includes aldermen Sheridan, Hull and Laurent, as well as Tourism and Economic Adviso- © ry Commission chairman Dr. Val George, Kitsumkalum Band — Chief Councillor Cliff Bolton, a Tepresentative from the Cham- ber of Commerce, and Mon- . teith, who will represent city administration. This committee . will analyze the proposal and make recommendations to . council.
