nr: REGIONAL parks, campsites. and trails 8 _ are seeing increased maintenance this year, * 2s thanks to a program that sees money ear- marked to promote recreation and sustain- able investment.

About $50,000 has been spent this year between Stewart, Kitimat; Prince’ Rupert and Terrace thanks to something called the - Forest Investment Account which doles out money to forest license holders to be spent on recreational. projects. , i _. .

Forest Sciences applied for the money .- _ “They can. have access for funds to main- tain recreation facilities so between the four licensees and King they are putting about $50,000 in recreation to the district,” says -Carl Johanssen ‘who works for the Ministry of Tourism; Sports and the Arts. | " Johanssen says the money’ was put mostly toward items such as maintaining sites, up- "grading and painting infrastructure on sites. which used to come under the jurisdiction of

Downtown motel spruces up

Changes will also be made to the Lake- Ise Ave. main entrance to the hotel’s park- ing area to prevent motorist from using the . courtyard/parking area as a through route. ~ Motorists frequently drive through the Bear Country’s lot to avoid waiting at the light- controlled intersection at Eby St. and Lake- Ise Ave., Munson says.

. “We're trying to cozy up the courtyard so people won’ t use it as a street,” she says. “I’m

: really going to be making effort to close-that in and discourage people from using that as a walk through or drive through.” a

Part of ongoing renovations of the down-" . town hotel include“‘a new roof over the res- taurant portion of the facility.

. The City of Terrace is working on its downtown plan and officials are encourag- ing downtown businesses to take the initia- tive to spruce up their appearances to make the area more inviting to foot traffic,

the Ministry of Forests.

The project also involves the subcon- tracting of area First. Nations to carry out the work, creating some. temporary summer jobs, says Johanssen.

Painting, cleaning and repairing items at & the sites is a part of regular maintenance ,

For instance, Kalum Ventures of the Kit- sumkalum band has a contract with BC Tim- ber Sales to maintain’ Red Sand Lake, Pine Lake and the Hart Farm: |

The Gitanyow Fisheries is responsible for maintaining the Derrick Lake, Jigsaw. Lake, Bonney Lake and. Bonus ‘Lake, recreations

. Sites. .

“T think, that these contracts provide a great opportunity for relationship building between First Nations. and government,” says Gail Campbell, who works for BC Tim- ber Sales(BCTS). . »

~ “Next year BCTS i is hoping to ‘expand this prograin.’

Coast Tsimshian Resources is “working ‘with BCTS to see if there may be an oppor- tunity to do some work on.trails near Prince © Rupert, she says.

THE BEAR Country Inn is renovating its old empty swimming pool area and updating the exterior facade along Lakelse Ave.

The hotel is spending more than $100,000 to fill in the swimming pool, which hasn’t been operational in more than 10 years, and create a storefront space in addition to be- - ginning work on a river rock and wood beam facade.

- level of the floor in that part of the building ' to street level. .
