Liberal leader visits faithful

PROVINCIAL Liberal leader Gordon Campbell will be here tomorrow to meet local party members,

‘“‘We're expecting to meet with him fairly informally,”’ Liberal constituency associa- tion president Sharon Taylor said last week.

Meanwhile, she says pre- election preparations are con- tinving for the party.

They’re focusing on efforts to build party membership and coffers here, she said.

“T think we’re pretty close to 200 plus,’’ she added.

As for candidates, she says there is nothing to announce yet. ‘'There are a couple of people who have been ap- proached and who have ex- pressed interest,”’ Taylor said. “Of course we’re not prepared to identify them at this point.”

Specialist on

his way here

TERRACE WILL have a sec- ond internal medicine specialist in place later this month. ;

Dr. Michael Kenyon, a South African immigrant now prac- lising in Moose Jaw, Sask, will be working with Dr, Bar- rie Phillips.

New courses

meet demand

NATURAL RESOURCE cer- tificate programs will be of- fered ai Northwest Communily College starting in the fall.

The move is in response to the growing demand for tained workers in the ‘resources sector.

The college’s Ivan Thomp- son said employers are finding it increasingly difficult to find enough technically trained em- ployees to meet the demand created in part by changing land management practices.

Students graduating from the one-year certificate program will be able to go on to com- plete a Forest Technology Dip- Joma or associate degree in e1- vironmental science at NWCC.

Other options, including lad- dering into a UBC degree pro- gram in natural resource mau-

agement, are also being prepared, The college also offers

transition programs for adulis who need to upgrade their Schooling before taking the course. A number of high schools have also developed career preparation programs in natural resources that give younger students a head start. “This training leads directly to good jobs but also prepares Students to continue to higher levels of education if they so choose,’ Thompson said.

In comments on the proposal, both federal fisheries and the provincial Environment ministry noted concerns about possible ef- fects on the fish-bearing creeks and side streams on the properly.

Also worried about the effect of Storm water run-off on water quality for residents of the exist- ing sub-division, the ministry recommended rejection of the re- zone application.
