Ackney at meeting

“Leadership” was the
theme for the B.C. Associa-
tion of Hospital Auxiliaries
Presidents’ conference held
in Vancouver in February.

Castlegar Hospital Auxili-
ary vice-president Tony
Ackney attended and re-
ported that it was a very ed-
ucational meeting.

Guest’ speakers Charles
Grierson, president of the
BCHA, and Jacquie Coinner
spoke on hospital volunteers.

British Columbia was the
first province to start a hos-
pital association in 1971, and
througi the years volun-
teering has become a profes-
sion.

To honor volunteers, April
23-29 has been named Na-
tional Volunteer’ Week.

Workshops on volunteer
job descriptions, simple book-
keeping, and budgeting for
accurate records were the
key addresses at the con-
ference.

At the February meeting
of the Women's peirgeatd to
the District
Hospital, er, Pastro, dir-
ector of volunteers for Trail

Regional Hospital, spoke

- briefly on the advantages of

infant car seats.

The seats have been en-
dorsed by the government
and should be a priority for
new parents.

The auxiliary also plans a
spring rummage sale. Watch
for details in April.

The next meeting of the
Auxiliary is 8 p.m. March 19
at the Castlegar and District
Hospital Conference Room.

Almost 14,000° new B.C.
companies set up business in
the province last year, a 17
per cent increase over 1982.

Consumer and Corporate
Affairs Minister Jim Hewitt
said the statistic has trad-
itionally been used as an in-

omy and of growth in the pri
vate sector.

He said new incorporations
indicate that business is
gearing up for what it per-

of these new incorporations
will result in increased em
ployment, “a goal we all want
to achieve.”

“While we are still short of
the all-time record — 21,380
new companies in 1980 — last
year’s figure indicates an im-
pressive gain over the 1982
level of 11,482,” Hewitt said.

“This significant improve-
ment is a barometer that
better times are ahead.”

Total revenues for the
Companies Office were up
10.7 per cent, to $18,950,238,
Hewitt said.
