Black noted that “This isn't a

years after type of review.”

The B.C. Human Rights Act
was established in 1973, while
the B.C. Human Rights Act was
established in 1983. Black said,
“We want to see what's
and what isn't. Keep what's
working and change what isn't.”

He sees that “It is crucial to
hear from people who have expe-
rience with issues of human
rights and complaints. Those

A local conservation officer
says he feels like throwing up
his hands in discouragement.

After being especially vigi-
lant in the field of public educa-
tion, Conservation Officer Mike
Krause said he is sad to report
that six bears have been shot in
10 days in this area.

Four of the bears were shot

“People just aren't getting the

“However, the majority of
calls are from private
dwellings.”

Krause said he expects the
calls to continue until all resi-
dents of the area fully under-
stand and take action to stop the
situation. But, after talking to
one man in particular, Krause
said he doubts that the situation
will improve.

“I actually had one guy call
in and say [dealing with his
garbage] is inconvenient and
he'd rather just have the bear
destroyed.”

This list does not necessarily
suggest that the services are sore-
ly lacking in the Castlegar area,
nor does their order indicate their
level of importance; rather it
indicates the areas in which the
consensus was to direct our
efforts.

Strengths

We next looked at what we
believed were our strengths,
coming up with a short list of
eight areas of satisfaction.

Oar first perceived strength
was the wide range of communi-
ty needs addressed by United
‘Way agencies.

Next was the fact that most -
nearly all, in fact - of the money
we raise goes back into the com-
