Part of the consortium is already known — Provigo, 4 food chain; the Solidarity Fund of the Quebec Federation of Labor union; a Western Quebec branch of the Caisse Populaire, a credit union; the city of Mon- treal, which invested $15 million; and the provincial government, which chipped in with an $18 million long-term, preferential loan.

LOCAL NEWS Just before we left for Britain, I wrote a letter to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney expressing my deep concern over the Mohawk confrontation at Kanesatake and the death of the police officer. The confrontation was about the only thing about Canada to appear in the British papers.

It reads as follows; Dear Mr. Charters: On behalf of the Government of Canada, I am responding to your letter addressed to the Prime Minister regarding the situation at Kanesatake and Kahnawake this summer. As you know, the standoff at Kanesatake, which had begun with the tragic shooting of a provincial Police officer, was brought to a peaceful conclusion Minister responds to columnist's letter threaten the order and security of a democratic society. Without fundamental respect for th- rule of law there can be no justice for anyone in this country, including native people. I have great respect for the peaceful and patient manner in which most native people have expressed their grievances. These grievances affect all Canadians and must be resolved by natives and non- natives working together in a spirit of co-operation and goodwill. The summer’s events have obscured the positive accomplishments that this government has made in Indian affairs over the last six years. In his speech to the House of Commons on September 25, 1990, the Prime Minister renewed our commitment to further Progress on native issues and he reaffirmed the special place of the first citizens of Canada.

SNOW CLEARING ADVISORY ON STREET PARKING — Vehicle owners and operators ore requested not to park on city streets during snowfalls. DRIVEWAY ACCESS — Snow ridges deposited across driveways are an unavoidable result of snow clearing procedures. When available angling ploughs are being used to prevent or reduce the quantity of snow deposited. Snow cleared from driveways should be stored on left side of driveway (facing house from the street). This will help reduce the quantity of snow deposited across driveways due to ploughing. Snow removed from driveways and piled in the street is a hazard to passing motorists. PRIORITY — It is our policy, based on health and safety concer- ns, to perform snow removal and sanding in the following order of priority: — Columbia Avenue Hospital and Schools — Residential Collectors — All Others Depending on the quantity, severity and duration of the snowtall most roads would be opened within four to ten hours. OTHER — On streets without curb and gutter, wooden stakes should be placed marking the edge of lawns. Parents should remind children of the dangers (from equipment and collapse) of tunnelling into snow piles. Panasonic.

There will also be a freestyle race at the Winter Games and a relay race using both techniques. The 1991 Winter Games are being staged Feb. 21-24 in Duncan. Because there are no suitable trails (nor snow at most times) near Duncan, all skiing is to be done at Mount Washington with the skiers staying in Comox. However, skiers will be involved in the opening ceremonies to be held in Duncan, and then are bused to Comox. The Kootenay team will be selected at the trials. The number of athletes to be determined is by a formula based on the number of participants across the provice. Participants must hold a cross-country B.C. racing licence. These, will be available at the trials. Entry fees for the trials will be $10 and this includes the cost of a licence.

Ongoing consultation with aboriginal peoples and respect for the fiduciary responsibilities of the Crown will be integral parts of implementing this agenda Our first priority is land claims. The settlement of specific claims, those grievances resulting from the actions of government over the last century, will be accelerated. The government will ensure that its obligation to provide land due under treaties will be honored. Negotiations on modern treaties, known as comprehensive claims, will also be accelerated. I have already begun a series of meetings with Indian leaders and provincial gov: to discuss how progress methods to achieve those goals must be of the rule of law. The method to deal with legitimate grievances is through dialogue and not at the point of a gun. Canadians do not tolerate, under any circumstances, a group of heavily armed people undertaking activities which are against the criminal laws of this nation. If the government does not uphold the rule of law, we endanger the rights of every Canadian and on claims can be made. The government will continue to improve basic community programs and services, particularly water and septic facilities on some reserves. We will also expedite discussions with Indian organizations on new policy and program solutions to improve on- reserve housing. please see MINISTER page BS Palm Corder ¢ Full-Range Auto Focus ¢ Flying Erase Head © 6:1 Power Zoom : © Battery Charge/Refresh $1199 pn Purchase from an Authorized Panasonic Dealer = PETE’S TV wn. 279 Columbia Ave., Castlegar 365-6455 History made Sale well attended Johnson and Lewis STOCKHOLM (Reuter) — Toron- to sprinter Ben Johnson is set to race against Carl Lewis and Leroy Burre! in the 100 metres at a meet in August, meet director Bengt Bendeus said Thursday.
