Public Input Important Phase
Of RDCK’s Subregional Pian

The current series of public ‘meetings in Central Kooteriay’s Arrow
Lakes subregion is crucial in the development of an. overall plan for
Castlegar, Nakusp and their are fural areas, according to Floyd

Dykeman,
Dy} the regi

i Costegar Ne News the ‘purpose of the iarne
ie “

H district’ 8

9 director,” last week told the
— among measures recom-

report adopted by the ROCK board in Septem-
ber — is to provide the public with an opportuni

to express opinions on

_ the needs of the first of five subregions scheduled for plans.

>. “Really, at this point: we don't have too much to offer in terms of ideas and information,”
Dykeman said. “We're basically. looking for ideas from the public generally.”

~ “We basically see three
elements to the: plan,” Dyke-
man explained. “One is the
federal-provincial government
input in terms of their policies
and programs as they affect the
s ares,

- “Second is the input from
people who live in the area and
are landowners on how they

"would like to see the area

develop, what are their aspira-
tions, what are the. existing
problems we should be dealing
with and looking at.
“Third is our own technical
is to’ look at land capa-
bility and existing settlement
patterns and try to identify
through more technical means
what we consider to be the
problems of ‘planners’ or en-
gineers.”

In addition to the start on,

the second phase, he said, the
firet phase is nearing’ com-

pletion and work has-already “

begun on the third.

' “We've met with” prac-
tically all the provincial agen-
cies involved in the Arrow
Lakes subregion on a one-to-one
basis and some of these pro-
vineial agencies are in fact in
athe process of pulling together

“a considerable amount of infor-

mation and mapping it for us
the planning director. said. -

_ “What we're doing as well :

as conducting our own technical
analysis. For instance, we've
just finished a population study,
of the area to find out what's
been happening historically and
we've made ‘some preliminary

for Cas-

where we think there is some .

increased potential,” he ex-
plained.

The public's role in ex-
amining the Arrow Lakes econ-
omy is to volunteer opinions on
the potential of the subregion,
whether. they. want to see
increased industrial develop-
ment, what type of industry
they believe the area is capable

of accommodating, and what °
types of facilities or services

they desire.
Economic as fell as. geo

graphic bonds are important

tween Castlegar and other

region boundaries,

Agreement

Cominco employees at the

have a two-year agreement

expiring April 30, 1981, follow- .

ing a» ratification vote. by
workers held early last week.

Statistics“ released from
the vote count in Creston show.
that 8,991 of the estimated

“The Arrow Lakes will
now serve as Castlegar's water-
shed,” ho said. “And I think the

Arrow Lakes serves as the .

recreational hinterland for the
city. of Castlegar and its resi-
dents.’

“Also, if you look where .

the raw materials servicing the - |

CanCel pulp mill are’ being
drawn from, you find it’s from
Area K, around the Nakusp
area,” he pointed out. “So that
in terms of employment the
actual forestry industry around
Nakusp is totally dependent
upon the continued viability of
CanCel.” af

But regions must be iden-

tified with-care, the planning -

director warned,

“We draw lines on a map
but those lines don’t always
accurately point out where a
particular relationship ends,”
he said. “Obviously to some
extent Castlegar looks to Trail,
which is outside our regional
district, and Castlegar looks to
Nelson and vice-versa:

“I think you've just*got to
realize there are inter-relation-
ships and interdependencies

“which have to be recognized
‘ and the best thing-we can do's“:

come up with something we feel,
is reasonable: :

Base rate for a laborer
effective May 1 is $8.04 per
hour and for a tradesman it is
$10.40,

contract it will be approxi-
mately $9.25 and $11.61 .re-

i depending on COLA

“tlegar, Nakusp and the rural
areas up to 1996.” (See story on
Page B1.)

Also under examination by
the RDCK planning depart-
ment, Dykeman said, are the
ecenomic aspects of the sub-
region, including its labor force,
occupations, and -unemploy-
ment and participation rates.

“We've looked at the va-
rious economic sectors and
tried to say where we are in
terms of forestry or tourism or
whatever the case may be, and

increments. They are based on
a formula used to calculate the
rising cost of living in Canada.
The rates at the expiration
of the old agreement had been
$7.44 fora laborer and $9.60 for
a tradesman, in United Steel-
workers of America.
, The wide range of monthly
salary rates for those em-
ployees in the Association of

Commercial and Technical Em- .

ployees range from $900 to
* $2,850 with COLA additions
pending.

The of the final -
sub-regional plan, he said, will
have “two time horizons.”

+ “One is short term, which
. is five years, and another is 10

to 16 years,” the planner said.

“We would think that in
the typical: planning projects
over the first five-year period
the proposals and policies will
bea little more specific because
we can sort of visualize what's
going to take place.”

“In the 10- to 15-year time
horizon,’ policies will be of a
general nature, more. guide-
lines, and of course it becomes
much more difficult to predict
what's going to happen,” he
explained. “We'll try to main-
tain a sort of general prospec-
tus on what's happening as

opposed to something which is

-very specific.” .

Tories and New Democrats
_Decimate Grits in Province

Joe Clark's Progressive Conservatives ran away with the lion's share of B.C.'s 28 ridings i in last
Tuesday's federal election, trouncing the Trudeau Liberals in the process.
Conservative wins in the province ensured Clark of a minority government — but short of a
majority — while the New Democratic Party revived their fortunes from their low ebb of 1974..
th Liberal cabinet ministers from the province, Sports Minister Iona Campagnolo and
Environment Minister Len Marchand, were defeated.
The Conservatives, expecting to do strongly in B.C., took 19 seats. In 1974, they had 13 seats of

* the 23 at stake.

Redistribution .added five seats in B.C,

* They also retained the lone seat in the Yukon.

The Liberals, who had eight B.C. seats in the 1974 election, were fighting to retain one seat.
Former Vancouver mayor Art Phillips had a narrow late-night lead over Ce Sosseryative Pat Carney in
Vancouver Centre, but Carney finally eked-out a two-vote winning

The New Democrats, riding high after strong gains in the May Hf provincial election when they
lost in a close race with Social Credit, took eight ridings.
