THE GITWANGAK band's
reserve lands are being en-
larged by close to eight
hectares.

The land was promised
by the province 25 years
ago but never delivered
because of a bureaucratic
error.

“The province commit-
ted to return this land in
1967, but never completed
the transfer,” transporta-
tion minister Judith Reid
said

Jobless stats back UP mie tsseriete
in double digitrange suse

UNEMPLOYMENT in the
northwest has jumped back
up into double digits.

The rate is now 10.7 per
cent, the highest of any re-
gion in B.C., according to
the November labour force
survey from Statistics Ca-
nada. It had declined
through the summer to a
low of 9.4 per cent here in
September.

Federal labour market
analyst Patrick McIntyre
said the November jump is
due to the windup of sea-
sonal summer tourism
work and logging that had
been spurred by raw log
exports.

Falling population esti-
mates back up his conten-
tion that people who have
been out of work for a long
time have given up and
left the region.

“We're back to where
we were last year but with
less people,” Melntyre
said.

He also said the stats
show a marked shift from
fulltime work to part-time ;
work. “We're probably
seeing some people being
shifted to less hours,” said
Mcintyre.

Overall, he said the la-
bour force and the econ-
omy remains weak. “] cer-
tainly wouldn’t recom-
mend anyone come up
here to find work,” the
analyst added.

His outlook for this win-
ter is much the same as
last winter, with the pic-
ture brightening in the
