SEAR Sr ne aE A a ee gm ne A8 Terrace Review — Wednesday, August 1, 1990 © Talk of the Town This week the Terrace Review asked: What do you think the city could do to promote Riverboat Days outside Terrace and draw tourists to the event? Judy Fifield Probably more advertis- ing. They have to adver- tise in other newspapers (as well as focal), and they Should advertise in all the tourist brochures. Nellie Matwick Offer free overnight camping to tourists, es- pecially seniors. We don’t want to forget about the seniors. Joe Longpre | think what they need to do is advertise heavily the week before, just to give people a reminder, because it’s easy to forget. And they should offer free camping for tourists on Ferry Island during Riverboat Days. Emily Des-Biens They should have more access to the river. I live in Kitimat, but it’s even harder to get to the river in I Terrace than in Kitimat. Trevor Rathjen I’m new to Terrace, so f don’t really know, but maybe more advertising in the newspapers and on Robin Alexander Add more events and do more advertising. Regular Games EVERYONE WELCOME!

(UNBC) is now an official entity, and the members of the original Interim Advisory Board have now been recognized and renamed as the Board of Gover- nors, with Prince George lawyer Murray Sadler as chairman, the UNBC board was informed at its July 21 meeting in Prince George. Margaret Dediluke, the member of the university board from Terrace, attended the ses- sions in Prince George on Satur- day and returned to report from the assembly that: @ The board approved the crea- tion of faculty advisory groups who will report directly to the university. These groups will be composed of local people as re- commended in the IPG (Im- plementation Planning Group) report and be responsible for giving information and practical advice to the board. Individual members have been gathering ideas and suggestions from the community but feel that a regular group would have more widespread interpretation of the community needs. @ Student services came in for a large share of discussion. The board feels that it is imperative that all the latest improvements for counselling and career train- ing and assistance must be incor- porated and new emphasis given to service to students, ' @ To date it has been suggested that there be faculties in educa- : tion, forestry and environment, aboriginal studies, health care and journalism. ® The site search for the new facility’s main campus has been narrowed to five from 15 pro-- posed locations, and engineering studies on these sites were presented ‘‘with many surprises, requiring further investigation,” said Dediluke. It is expected that an announcement on the site will be made this month, as well as the announcement of the selec- tion of the new principal. @ An advertisement for a pro- ject manager has been made. Membership in the Canadian University Council will be in- vestigated, When the university acquires a larger meeting room, it is hoped that interested persons will be able to attend board meetings as observers, It was generally agreed that the board must meet in constit- uent towns, in order for the members to become: familiar with the widespread district, and to enable the people of the district to become acquainted with the board and its delibera- tions. Dediluke has proposed that a meeting be held in Terrace this fall. “another area of concern is the accessability of information to the public,’’ said Dediluke. “The board shares my concern that communication in our scat- tered district is an essential in- gredient for this.new university to serve the people of the pro- vince.” . Actually... To the Editor; I would like to correct a state- ment which appeared in the July it, 1990 Terrace Review under the headline “‘Economic Oppor- tunities Abound’’. Western Economic Diver- sification Canada did not pro- _vide a $14.5 million loan last year for the construction of the Victoria Convention Centre. Funding was provided under a federal-provincial agreement signed in 1986. The $14.5 million contribution was shared equally by the federal and pro- vincial governments with the federal share provided by the Department of Regional In- dustrial Expansion. The City of Victoria provided $3 million and CP Hotels provided the land ad- jacent to the Empress Hotel. Our department has provided funding totalling nearly $150 million to more than 660 pro-. jects in British Columbia. The amount of assistance has ranged from as little as $5,000 to a high of $13.5 million which went toward a $30 million, world- class, forest research centre for western Canada. Robin M.
