_ Natives more active in _ child welfare program |

Social Services and Housing -Minister Claude Richmond has said that his ministry intends to continue building on the pro- gress shown in the area of native child welfare in the past year.

According to Richmond, “Exciting and innovative’’ child welfare projects have been in- -jitiated in the past year and, ‘ although information compiled by the ministry during the ' 1986/87 fiscal year indicated that about one-quarter of the 6,832 children admitted to care are of Indian-heritage, trends in- dicate a gradual decline in the number of Indian children who remain in care.

He said letters had been sent

to over 200 Indian bands outlin-

ing the ministry’s policy, which provides for immediate notifica- tion of the band manager, band social development officer, or other designated representative _ of the band council.

‘In. addition, we are en- couraging the bands to par- ticipate in developing alternate plans to ensure the child’s safety and well-being, while. at the ‘same time preserving cultural ‘Adentity. ”

‘We still have a long way to go, but we are working together to have bands become more in- volved and take a more promi-

nent role in the delivery of child.

Giesbrecht said that as of Oct. 20 the board had not sought an injunction to prevent the strike nor had they moved to have the withdrawal declared illegal. On Oct. 17, he said, the TDTA was served with a document he des- cribed as an ex parte court dec- laration expressing a judge’s opinion of teachers’ contractual obligations under the School Act regarding hours of work.

Cooper said the board will not. agree to a later request from the

board meeting to reconsider their position. ‘“‘Just because they don’t like the decision we made, that’s no reason to reconvene,”’ she said.

Judy Birch, an information officer for the Ministry of Education in Victoria, said in.an Monday that the Teaching Profession Act states that boards and teacher unions can bargain their own grievance procedures governing dismis- sals, suspensions and termina- tions, and that if teachers forma union the grievance procedures of the collective agreement are to apply to any dismissal or disciplinary action.

Job Entry and Re-Entry return

‘TERRACE — In order to meet the increasing demand for train- ed personnel in the fast growing Tourism-Hospitality industry,

Northwest Community College '

in conjunction with sponsorship from the Canada Employment. Centre, is pleased to announce the: implementation. of .two Federal Training Programs — Job Entry and Re-Entry.

The Job Entry Program is designed to assist youth in the transition from school to work, and the Re-Entry Program specifically focuses on women. who have been out of the work force tending parental respon- sibilities and require training to re-enter the work force.

Sponsoring 30 seats (15 from each program) the Tourism- Hospitality Program will pro-

_ vide participants a unique op-

portunity to become proficient in front-line hospitality skills in restaurant services. This current- -ly.is a rare occasion in the workforce as a whole, where fewer than one in five workers receive any. formal training, and only one in three get formal training on the job, ...

Slated to begin its five month run October 26, 1987 - March 25, 1988, the Job Entry/Re- Entry Programs will provide 10 weeks of classroom theoretical components in such areas as people skills, superhost, waiter/waitress skills, mixology, hosting duties and much more. The second 10 weeks of the pro- gram will be practical on-the-job training at local businesses (Training Hosts) to polish and fine tune Hospitality skills.

No single industry in B.C. has a greater potential for new job creation than does Hospitality. Employment is expected to in- crease between three to five per- cent per annum over the next decade, By the year 1990, it will be the second largest industry in B.C., by the year 2000, the largest. The challenge will be to provide this expanding industry enthusiastic and skilled in- dividuals to meet this developing employment need.
