High migration
credited for
economic boost

VANCOUVER (CP) —. Record-
high migration and offshore invest-
ment propped up the B.C. economy
last year, provincial government
statistics indicate.

A record 64,236 new Tesidents set-
tled in British Columbia ‘last year,
two-thirds of them from other
Provinces and the rest from other
countries. The previous high was
59,430 in 1989.

“Those migration levels are quite
healthy.. And last year was abnor-
mally high, extremely strong,’’ Don
McRae, a statistics manager in the
B.C. Finance Ministry, said.

The ministry expects to mail its
preliminary 1990 findings to
businesses and government ministries
later this week.

There are signs of a potential
economic slowdown, such as rising
unemployment. Net migration levels
are projected to fall to about 55,000
this year, said McRae.

British Columbia had the second-
highest number of new residents —
from both other provinces and from
other countries — in 1990. Ontario,
with a population of 9.8 million, had
the most.

Finance, Ministry figures suggest
British Columbia ducked the

recession that hit Central Canada in
1990.

Sectors such as forestry and con-
struction slumped, but business im-
migrants pumped millions of dollars
into the B.C. economy, particularly
in the Vancouver area.

International immigration rose
16.6 per cent and would have been
higher except for ‘ta two-month
slowdown placed on the issuing of
visas by the federal government,”
the Finance Ministry says in its
preliminary year-end report.

The natural increase last year, bir-
ths over deaths, was 21,370, bringing
the Province *s population to nearly

istry forecasts a steady in-
crease in immigrants for the next
several years.

Hong Kong immigrants have been
welcomed by some for putting
money into the provinde but blamed
by others for inflating real estate
prices.

Preliminary figures indicate people
from Hong Kong accounted for
about 13 per cent of new B.C.
residents last year.

By comparison, 22 per cent came
from Ontario and 19 per cent from
Alberta.

Pulpit

continued from 83

cities, nations and even entire con-
tinents. John Knox was one such
person. Because of this man's
Prayers and positive steps of action,
a spiritual revolution began in the
hearts of people. This man’s prayers
were recorded in the history books.

Queen Mary, who was the queen
of Scotland at that time, said she was
more scared of the prayers of John
Knox than all the armies of France
and Britain. He was willing to make
the difference. He prayed, ‘‘Give me
Scotland or I die.”’

Stop waiting for somebody else to
do what you think needs to be done.
Step out and risk. Get out on the
limb, that’s where the adventure is.
That’s where the fruit is. I want to
encourage you to release God's
power by blessing others.

Maybe you are busy, active, or
even weary. But the scripture says,
“Be not weary in well doing.”’ (2
Thess. 3:13)

We need to stay rejuvenated in our
service to God. We need to see our
service as a blessing, and as we bless,
it will renew our spirit, mind and
body. Mental illness or depression
will often cause someone to sit and
stare. Some of God’s people have
lapsed into a similar state. Mental
health, on the other hand, is ex-
Pressed in an active life.

Stir up the gift of God that is in
you and begin to bless those around
you. Do it because the Word of God
commands you to. Do it because the
most effective path to a blessed life is
blessing others. Blessing is con-
tagious. Because God has blessed us,
we can bless others.
