Thirteen high school students took in a basic 25-hour welding program. al the college’s -(rades shop using . equipment ~ they wouldn’t have had access 10 al Caledonia.

They get a basic trades certifi- cate from the college and come to ihe top of the list for getting into similar college programs in- the future. .

There is no formal articulation agreement between the college and school district covering that type of interchange.

What economic benefits will B.C. get from Kemano Completion?

Some of the benefits have already come through. Before KCP*s suspension in 1991, Alcan had paid almost $54. million to contractors and supplices from Prince George to Prinee Rupert, including Terrace ind Kitimat.

. We estimate that payments to contractors and suppliers throughout the province for the entire project would total: more than. billion dollars. = Completion would tuke the regional total to $250 million, under Alcan’s policy to buy locally whenever possible, Local contracts have! already built

up transportation services, resources for accommodation. and equipment and many other businesses.
