The budget is currently based on the estimated number of students for the academic year 93-94, but will be re-calculat ed in January. It has not yet been determined exactly what effect this year's growth will have on the budget, because the numbers have yet to be confirmed “We should know the exact number of students in our district by. September 30, but these numbers are going to fluctuate somewhat due to students and families moving in and out of Castlegar.” Students are coming in from a wide range of locations to reside here ar, some are from the Okanagan, Alberta, and even the North West Territories. ‘Generally, each student generates about six thousand dollars for the district,” Surgenor said, “but due to budget revisions, sometimes they only generate $3,400 each Halon not used here KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff Although the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks has set down tough regulations regarding the use and elimination of ozone- depleting substances, such as Halon which is sometimes used in fire extinguishers, it won't affect Castlegar's Fire Department * Castlegar Fire Chief, Gerry Rempel, said the types of extinguishers which are commonly used by the Castlegar Fire Department contain either carbon or a dry chemical base such as Phosphate “We don’t have any Halon in our department.
