2 Terrace Review — Wednesday, April 9, 1986 Jim Pattison rm wae $ Jim Pattison, chairman of the Expo/86 Corporation, was greeted by Mayor Jack Talstra during his recent visit to Ter- race. Pattison spoke at a luncheon attended by more than 100 interested Northwest residents. Expo 86 history Expo 86 (May 2 — Oc- tober 13, 1986 — 165 days) began as an in- itiative of the Govern- ment of British Colum- bia in late 1978. It coin- cides with the celebration of Vancouver's centen- nial and the 100th an- niversary of the Trans- continental Railroad’s arrival at Canada’s West Coast Terminus. On Nov. 26, 1980 the Executive Committee of the International Bureau of Expositions (BIE) unanimously awarded Canada the right to host the World Exposition in 1986. Terrace Art Gallery — Do you have an afternoon or even- responds to local concerns TERRACE — Local business people were recently given the oppor- tunity to go to the top with their questions about the operations and impact of Expo 86. Jim Pattison, chairman of the Expo Corporation, was the keynote speaker for a luncheon held at the Inn of the West. The event was co-hosted by the Terrace and District Chamber of Commerce and the Terrace Expo Society, and it drew an audience of about 150 people. Dennis Lissimore, chairman of the local Ex- po volunteer group, acted as master of ceremonies and pointed out to the crowd that the regional benefits of Expo may not be immediate but that a substantial payoff in tourist activity . and business investment can be expected in future years. Lissimore cata- logued the Terrace Expo Society's accomplish- ments, which include the organizing of a triathalon between Ter- race and Kitimat sched- uled for Riverboat Days, a tourism signage pro- gram for the greater Ter- race area, and the suc- cessful lobbying of the B.C. Ferry Corp. for ad- ditional sailings from Prince Rupert during the period of Expo. Mayor Jack Talstra welcomed the prominent guest speaker, presenting him with the traditional Kermode bear pin. Pat- tison spiked the device onto his lapel, thanked the mayor and went to work, “In one month, minus four hours, the gates will open at Expo 86. You spend five years hiring architects, firing ar- chitects, dealing with foreigners and three levels of governments, and finally something happens.’*> With these opening remarks, Pat- tison launched into a briefing of current developments at the ex- position. The site, he stated, is 99 percent com- plete and the number of presold visits has recent- ly been calculated at more than 16 million, In assessing the financial position of Expo, Pat- tison indicated that the corporation’s initial budget provision for losses of $300-400 million appears to be on target according to latest figures. Pattison explained to the group that selling a world’s fair in Van- couver is different from similar projects in other locations due to Van- couver’s relative remote- ness from heavy concen- trations of population. “It?s a very different kind of a marketing job,”’ he said, ‘‘you have to induce people to come _ greater distances.” Pattison . appeared self-assured and very much at ease in the public speaking role. During the question-and- answer session which followed his speech he displayed confidence and an off-hand wit that seemed to win the au- dience over effortlessly. One concern recently raised by local hunting and fishing guides relates to lack of available seats on flights between east- ern centres and Van- couver this summer.
