Information officer Joe Lintz said the proposed wing is expected to comprise seven classrooms, a lecture theater and much needed office and locker space for the Castlegar campus. The board also discussed the possibili- | ty of a college sponsorship of a student from Mutare, Zimbabwe, in cooperation with the City of Nelson. | Although board chairman Elizabeth Fleet said any sponsorship was unlikely to happen until next fall, the board studio is needed for Selkirk’s two-year Dale Schatz said he had Co. ex district rect weeks Thesday. “Recreation in the area should be promoted,” said Ken Wyllie, director of regional dis- trict J, which comprises Rob- son, Blueberry and part of Oo- tischenia. “To think workers are going to spend all their free time at the work camp is a misconception.” Wyllie said there should be direct contact between the unions involved at the $700 million Celgar modernization project and local recreation ar- eas, like golf courses, baseball fields and curling and hockey rinks. He said he plans to bring up the issue at the next regional district planning com- mittee meeting. Celgar general manager Jim Browne said Celgar dis- cussed the availability of recreational facilities with Castlegar city council months ago, but was told the facilities were running at full capacity already. “We were told there was very little available,” Browne said. Browne said*the need for recreation is not extreme right now, since there are only about 100 employees currently living at the Celgar camp. He said there may be problems by fall 1992, when there may be as many as 1,000 workers living at the camp. Luella Andreashuk, man- ager of the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce, said she would be interested in helping orga- nize events for the workers, but only at a limited capacity, because of a lack of workers at the chamber. “We just don't have the fa- cilities,” Andreashuk said. Herself and one part-time em- ployee run the chamber office. Andreashuk added that she has been contacted by Celgar regarding current events in the area, and she has kept such information up-to-date and available to them. Wyllie said the demand for recreational facilities will in- crease even more if the pro- posal for the $21.5 million Castlegar-Robson bridge at- tracts more laborers to the community. “Then there will be a lot of workers in the area with noth- ing to do,” Wyllie said. music program offered through the CIC campus in Nelson.
