City to hire consultant

By CasNews Staff

The Castlegar Industrial
Commission is taking the
first steps towards hiring a
marketing consultant to help
with the selling of lots in the
city-owned industrial part in
south Castlegar.

At last Tuesday's city
council meeting, Ald. Albert
Calderbank reviewed min.
utes from a July 10 industrial
commission meeting which
said they will “investigate
criteria required for the Can
ada Employment
LEAD grant to employ a re
search marketing consul
tant,” and prepare a draft
application for the grant

The LEAD (Local Employ
ment Assistance and Devel
opment) program was ap
proved for the Regional Dis
trict of Central Kootenay
earlier this year, and will be
operated through a commun

through the Ministry of Em
ployment and Immigration

were held to investigate the

this: we heard there was
$2.4-million floating around,

commission better find out
where it is going,” he said

Calderbank said when
members of the commission
initially diseussed the fund
ing programs with Canada
Manpower Centre represen-
tatives present at a July 5
meeting, they “said they felt
Castlegar wasn't an area that
needed assistance.”

“But by the time we fin
ished, we finally convinced
them that an area that has 25
per cent unemployed is in
bad shape, and that any
funds available should also be
made available to Castlegar,”
Calderbank said.

here's no doubt about it,
we as a committee are in

gating this thoroughly,

there will be a report to
couneil.”

The LEAD program was
established 10 years ago to
provide funding for manufac
turing projects developed by
community groups and or.
ganizations. According to a
report from Glenn Olion of
the Canada Manpower Cen
tre, new criteria put into ef.

The Ministry of Municipal
Affairs has allocated $2,000
for Castlegar city council to

To qualify for one of the

of 10 per cent of $100 a metre

The funds are allocated for

Gomez says the DTUC

The Ministry of Educa-
