An agreement had been worked out among West Kootenay car dealerships the Steel Workers local — rep- resenting Cominco smelter workers — and the Kootenay Credit Union to offer incen- tives to buy North American cars. A Ford dealership in Trail and a General Motors. fran- chise in Castlegar agreed to _ offer cash refunds for the purchase of new cars. And the credit union agreed to reduce the interest rate on the first year of car loans to 16.5 per cent, compared with the current rate of 20 per cent.

However, he said delays aren't necessary for Murphy Creek or Keenleyside. “Murphy Creek isn’t as big a project (as Hat Creek or Site C),” he said, and while the economic downturn means a delay for the two major projects, it doesn’t mean Hydro couldn't use the energy from Murphy Creek and Keenleyside.
