gets $100,000 for expansion

Among the special events sche- duled by Premier Bill Vander Zalm and his ministers during last ‘week’s visit was the announcement of a $100,000 grant to Northen Native Broadcasting. Taking part ~ in the presentation was Ray Jones of NNB, Native Affairs Minister Jack Weisgerber, Regional and

Economic Development Minister .

Stan Hagen and Skeena MLA _ Dave Parker.

The grant will enable NNB to expand their current satellite radio distribution system to rural native

communities but not to the extent

step towards a successful future for NNB.

NNB currently produces and broadcasts over 40 hours of radio
