Jack Weisgerber announces a 500000 Expo Legacy Grant from the Provincial Government for a multi use complex in Chetwynd.

One hundred thousand dollars already approved, with staged grant payments to follow as work progresses.
In an Echo interview Pat Borton calls Merchants Chamber of Commerce and District Council to take a firm stand on the Monkman Hwy. plan. He argues the Tumbler Ridge route mainly benefits Tumbler Ridge and Prince George, with little gain for other communities and risks turning Hwy 97 into a second class road. He urges Chetwynd to engage with nearby towns to assess true regional benefits.
M L A Jack Weisgerber spoke at the Little Swiss Inn luncheon, after being introduced by Mayor Lasser. He discussed government shifts to MLAs, privatization plans, a 2 billion dollar provincial budget loss in 1986 due to forest shutdowns, and no tax increases. He urged public input on changes while warning against another year of labor unrest and noting talks with California power firms and Site C prospects.
