The plan is being seen by some as a vehicle of the hospitals because of the number of hospital administrators on the steering committee and because of the lack of representation from the community, Ames said recently. “The plan will fail unless there is more community involvement,"’ Ames said Kjolberg said the plan began as a hospital health-care review in 1987 and that accounts for the number of West Koot on the backs that will hurt or close many women’s centres in B.C., including the ‘Nelson Women’s Centre, was a major topic of discussion, she said +> Schultz said she also spoke to Dirks who once again said a bridge between Castlegar and Robson is contingent on the Celgar pulp mill expansion going ahead.
