Talstra says he isn’t surprised that most of the ideas in the ci- ty’s proposed tourism and economic development strategy have been around for a while. “These things are what peo- ple are talking about day-to-day in Terrace,’ sald Talstra in ad- ding they had come up in meetings with various groups. The objective, he emphasiz- ed, had been to come up with a plan that included attainable goals and therefore, while no “new, trand sctiemes’ had emerged, the result was “a very good, practical document.” The strategy process began when the city hired retired regional district administrator and school trustee John Pousette for one year in June 1988. A Terrace to 2000 think- tank was held in October 1988 and discussions with’ various groups were held. Pousette’s 67-page report submitted in Ju- ly 1989 was the result. Aldermen then split the areas covered by that report with city economic development officer Peter Monteith told to handle the strategy. City planner Mar-. vin Kamenz is now preparing an update community plan to be ready the end of the year. Explaining Pousette’s role, Talstra said, ‘‘His strong point is that of a conceptual thinker... We've gone through that pro- cess and now we're into the practical aspects.”’ - | Mayor likes new report | Jack Talsira Those included obtaining local reaction to the strategy through next week’s public meeting, incorporating any new ideas that might emerge from that and then establishing “four or five priority items that can be acted upon quickly and are ‘achievable,’ he said. The final draft would then be adopted as official city policy. — Although he anticipated the strategy would provide a blueprint for the next 10-15 years, Talstra emphasized, “that doesn't mean that it’s a standing plan,’’. Changing cir- cumstances would likely require revisions every 3-5 years, he said, Report in brief Local residents have an op- portunity Feb, 13, 7:30 p.m. at the Inn of the West to speak on the city’s tourism and economic development strategy, Recommended prajects con- tained in that document. in- clude: * Tourism attractions -— carry out feasibility studies on a number. of ideas including a game farm, game preserve and native cultural centre, Also con- tinue support for the Shames Mountain ski development and Mount Layton Hotsprings resort, * Telkwa Pass road — deter- mine benefits and feasibility of this proposed direct route from Smithers to Kitimat. ® Market analysis — establish profile of tourists currently visiting area to determine why they come here and what they are looking for. ¢ Senior citizens — carry out study to determine why retirees leave area and what needs to be done to reverse trend. ¢ Silvicultural Science Centre, — encourage the UBC school of forestry to use Terrace area as “a living laboratory.” Stage silviculture conference as first step. * Convention centre _ _deter- mine. construction cost, pro- jected operating deficit and economic benefits. * Steel mill — examine poten- tial for a 100,000 tonne mill us- ing northwest coal and northern iron ore, * Lumber, industry — study potential markets for value- added forest products. * Mining indusiry — . study potential for value-added pro- ducts using minerals currently being extracted in the north.
