gers Take Over Slocan Mill

Aided By BCDC, Private Investors

A major B.C. Interior saw-
mill has been bought from U.S.
owners for $8 million by a new
Canadian company working
with the help of private in-
vestors and the B.C, Develop-
ment Corporation.

The said Fri-

100 million board feet of lumber
and 60,000 bone dry units
(BDU) of chips a year from log
consumption of 150,000 cunits.
“This purchase is a positive
move for British Columbia in-
dustry,” said Economic De-
i Minister Don Phil-

day a group of senior managers
of the mill at Slocan will be the
major shareholders and princi-
pals of the new company,
Slocan Forest Products Ltd.

The mill employs 400
people and was formerly owned
by Triangle Pacific Forest Pro-
ducts Ltd., a subsidiary of Tri-
angle Pacific Corporation of
New York and Texas.

The mill produces about

lips.

“The Slocan mill is the
major employer in the area and
is of vital concern to the Slocan
economy. Production is ex-
pected to continue at the same
level as before."

Contacted Monday, SFP
president Ike Barber told the
Castlegar News “six or seven”
senior managers at the sawmill
were “dominant” shareholders

Arts Program Provided
‘New Focus’ in Region

Selkirk College's winter
community arts program di-
versified and “provided a new
focus for activity in the region”
this year, according to co-
ordinator Jack Anderson.

In a report to the college
council Anderson said the pro-
gram, based in Nelson last
year, took on regional re-
sponsibilities this year in de-
livering general interest art
courses, tours, and exhibitions
to communities served by the
college district.

More than 400 persons
participated in winter session
arts courses, more than 3,700
attended performances co-
ordinated under the program
and more than 1,000 attended
“mini-arts festivals” held in
various communities, Ander-
son's report said.

“As an ongoing program
the community arts program
will achieve enrolment of close
to 1,000 this next fiscal year,”
the report said.

The report said a total of
30 courses, in which 418 per-
sons participated, provided a
total of 4,021 student hours in

but did not hold controlling
interest. :
“The BCDC provided the
bulk of the long-term lending,
together with the Royal Bank,
which provided some of the
operating line,” he said. :
“In order to complete the
financial package Triangle
agreed to leave in a subordinate
debenture,” Barber continued.
“It should be looked upon as &
measure of good management
on the part of Triangle that
they did this to put the deal
together.” +
~" TriPac was planning to
“reorientate” its activities
when it accepted the SFP offer,
but “acted in a most responsible
way" by accepting the last
priority for payment after the
BCDC and Royal Bank, he said.
He confirmed that pro-
duction at the mill would not be
affected by the takeover. ei
“We're not looking at any
major changes in our orienta-
tion,” Barber said. “We will be
paying attention to what we're
doing now and trying to do it a
little better.” ‘
He said the sawmill's wood
supply, which is closely bal-
anced with the mill's produc-
tion, “precludes any ex-
pansion.” x
