Perra, speaking on the motion, said: “It's important that the board perceive to be interested in what's happening in the centres.” He said one of the ways of showing its interest is to show up at meetings at the centres once a year. The board presently meets once a year in centres in Trail, Nelson, Grand Forks and Nakusp, with the rest of the meetings held in Castlegar. Board member Bob Buckley noted that being present in the college community makes it easier for the public to attend meetings, “I don't think that just because someone is living in Grand Forks they should be penalized to make a presen- tation. If a group or individual wishes to make a presentation to the board, we as a board should make an effort to hold a meeting there. “It’s not necessary to have dinner at public expense in order to have meetings in a community,” he noted.

Glade residents gathered in Glade Community Hall Tuesday night to decide how to protest the reduction of hours of ferry service. continued from trent page Another alternative suggested was civil disobedi- ence, having residents refuse to pay property taxes.
