Volunteers are also available to ;
help-applicants prepare for their
life in Canada and their hearing
with the judge. Topics, such as
how the various government lev-
els work, geography and history
of Canada, coting procedures and
how to get on the voter's list are
some of the areas that applicants
need to have knowledge about.
Translators, if needed, are also
made available to people.

The actual preparation for the
hearing with the judge will take
place early next fall. The high-
light for the participants is the
Swearing-in ceremony that is held
and presided over by a citizenship
judge. Approximately 200 Castle-
gar and area residents have
become Canadian Citizens since
the Multicultural Society began
this service in 1985.

Alexia Turner, a member of
the "Multicultural Society, is the
Project coordinator.

Rossland residents might get chance to use new constitution

STERLING NEWS SERVICE

Rossland residents will be able
to put their new constitution into
Practice for a second time, if they
don't happen to like the coming
year’s budget.

Rossland city council gave
three readings to bylaw 1759 for
its 1992 operating budget of $4.55
million on Monday evening.
According to the city’s constitu-
tion;-Tesidents are given 30 days
following advertising of the com-
ing bylaw to review it and, if more

demand by petition that the city go
to referendum on the matter, let
ling the people decide.

The budget is an increase of 1.4
Per cent, said administrator Andre
Carrel, plus the $100 surcharge
each for water upgrading. That
matter too, went to referendum
last fall and while the Stipend
increase was defeated, the water
Surcharge was passed

That was the first time the con-

“stitution was put into effect, when

citizens decided to take proposed
Stipend increases for council mem-
bers to ref Mi

than 20 per cent of the taxp
feel the budget is not just, they can

Council still cannot come to a con-

sensus on what its stipend should
be, alderman Bill Stevens told The
Times. Mayor Bill Profili directed
Stevens and alderman Bob Miller
to come up with a recommenda-
tion after the Jan. 27 meeting
when a motion leaving the Stipend
at ifS previous year's level was
defeated.

However, at a committee of the
whole meeting on Feb. 3, a motion
to let the stipend remain what it

currently is, was again defeated, as
was & motion to leave the maticr
until Sept. 4.

Although a motion was passed
at the earlier in-camera meeting to
bring it up at last night's and be
voted on, the matter has once
again returned to a committee of
the whole meeting, to which the
media is not invited.

“We've got a way to go on it
yet,” Stevens said.

want in a house and how much you want to spend. Then, as you begin
your search, you find yourself facing a wide array of homes on the mar-
