Air quality No. 1
health concern
in Castlegar

Glen Freeman
NEWS REPORTER

Air pollution is the No. 1 health
concern of Castlegar residents and its
students, a recently released survey
shows.

The Tri-City Health Promotion
Project, a government-sponsored group
representing Castlegar, Trail and
Nelson, released data Friday which
shows that the people of Castlegar are
most concerned about the quality of
their air than any other perceived local
health issue.

According to Tri-

Castlegar, and all we had was regional
data,” Gauthier said.“This survey was
also undertaken to verify that regional
data.”

“It’s also interesting to note that the
community in general ranked AIDS on
the bottom of the list, while high school
students placed it seventh on their list,”
Gauthier said.

Obviously kids and parents have quite
different priorities in health related
matters, she said.

Cal Him, acting chairperson of the
Health Promotion Project, said that the
survey’s results will

pollution was the No. 1 health concern
for 204 of those Castlegar residents
surveyed, while 120 said water pollution
was their main concern.

It was the same story at SHSS, where
air pollution was tops in the survey,
which included students in Grades 9 to
12;

questions) ranked air pollution was their
top three concerns, while 239 said
viruses such as colds and pe savor were
in their top three.

secondary concerns did the results

level.

Volunteer service is another major
factor with which the group is
concerned.

Eventually the group hopes to develop
a workbook which will assist
communities in activating volunteers on
a grass-roots level.

“Volunteer workers are vital to their
communities,” Gauthier said.

“People have to understand that every
hour committed to volunteer work is
essential. If you take part in one small
portion of a community project, you are a
valuable piece of the whole.”

The Tri-City Health Promotion Project
is a three-year, three city, $300,000
project which receives funding from the
B.C. Health Research Foundation, an
administrative body which uses
provincial lottery money for health care
purposes.

“Trail, Nelson and Castlegar are
constantly comparing how these local
projects are going and we’re constantly
evaluating them,” Gauthier said.

ees next wats is ove survey resource

desta a , eee project.”

Gauthier said that in the not too
distant future the group will unveil this
community-based service project that
will be tailored to benefit the whole
community.

“Everyone always says ‘I wish there
was something we could do.’ Well, this is
their chance to do it.” she said.
