Minister of Municipal AL-
fairs, James G. Lorimer, an-
nounced last September that
the provinee was prepared to
make a grant to those regional
districts who had completed
their regional plan, This grant
was to be structured on the
basis of 10 cents per capita with
a maximum grant of $50,000.

The minister ‘requested

“that those regions who had

prepared their regional plan
and felt they were qualified for
these funds advise the depart-
ment immediately. He indi-
cated that he hoped this would
prove an incentive to regional
districts to complete their
regional plans.

As a result of the above
incentive program Mr. Lorimer
has issued cheques in the total
amount of $102,903.40 to the
following regional districts:
Central Kootenay $4,498;
Okanagan - Similkameen
$4,284.50; Bulkley-Nechako*
$2,504; Capital $20,358.70; East
Kootenay $3,943; Alberni-
Clayoquot $3,059.
Vancouver $50,000; Fr:
Cheam $4,469.50; Central
Fraser Valley $5,792; and
Dewdney-Alouctte $3,994.10.

Selkirk College East Koofenay Extension for 1975 - i916
No! Favored by East Koofenay Boards in Present Form

The Kimberley school
board has Implied it will not
support the Selkirk College
East Kootenay extension for
1975-76 without further Infor-
mation,

The board voiced disap-
proval for the program Selkirk
has introduced, but expressed a
willingness to negotiate for a
reduction in services,

The Kimberloy ‘board, as
with other East Kootenay
boards, has not committed
itself yet lo providing the 40
per cent of operating ‘costs
needed to keep the Selkirk
extension going next year,

‘As it could help pay the
costs, the board feels it should
be allowed input into the
program. There was some
confusion as to whether the
program Selkirk has proposed
for next year is sn all-or-
nothing offer or is subject to
negotiation,

Jack Ratcliffe hoped Sel-
kirk would be prepared to
modify its program. ,

Verna Coop said, “I'm sure
they can cut or add what we
want in the program.”

Brian Buckley suggested
Selkirk was basing its program
on first semester registration
and nol on the second semester,
which dropped substantially,

‘The board decided to ask
Selkirk for an accaunt of all its
students this year, with parti
cular Interest in the registered

courses.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ratcliffe
reported that the EK College
advisory committee was going
ahead with its survey of need
for a community college in the
East Kootenay and that there
was a possibility something
could be started by this fall if
quick decisions were made.

\He said the need survey
being done by some members of
the advisory committee should
“he complete by the end of the
month and the committec's
report should be fortheoming
sometime in April.

He emphasized the report
will be used for information
only, and had no authority. It is
up to the school boards to act
_ further on the matter.

He reminded the trustees
that two or more boards had
to be Involved, but not neces-
sarily all East Kootenay ‘dis-
triets had to agree for the plan
to go ahead,

He added that once a
achool district was in, it

« couldn't withdraw, so the decl-
sion was an important step.

He admitted it was poss!-
ble for a college to be in
