Rice said safety, Followed by quality and productivity, is emphasized first at the mill. “We hold regular crew talks.

TERRACE — There have been’. \ . many inquiries into borrowing money from a native develop-’ ment corporation based in Kitimaat Village near Kitimat, says its manager. Lee Williams of the Haisla Development Corporation said last week the idea is to en- courage and assist businesses to be owned by the Haisla of - Kitimaat. The corporation has been in existence performing other functions for five years but a $1.3 million portfolio for loans -OF guarantees over three years was just recently approved by the federal government. “We're now taking applica- tions for consideration by the board of directors (of the development corporation) and ‘our’ loan’ comuittee,’’ ‘said Williams. _ Most of the inquiries are for. the, fishing industry and for home-based businesses, she said. Money or guarantees are available the approximately 1,000. Haisla who live at Kitimaat or other places in the northwest. “*The economic environment we're now in doesn’t leave a lot of money retained in the village. The key is to develop businesses that keep some of the money here,”’ Williams said. Besides lending money or giv- ing loan guarantees, the cor- poration also helps people with business plans and gives advice based on fee for service. Williams said additional capital for lending will come from fees it receives and interest on loans that are repaid. The Haisla Development Corporation is one of six such native lending institutions in B.C. There are 29 in Canada.
