Rationale for Labour Code Changes in British Columbia
The Vancouver Board of Trade urges balanced rights for employers and unions, proposing amendments to the Labour Code. Key points include allowing employers to present views before union votes, protecting employee privacy, empowering the Labour Relations Board after complaints, and urging secret ballots for certification and strikes. The aim is to reduce industrial disruption while safeguarding individual rights in wage talks and disputes.

Alberta expert Dr. Jack Herricks says nothing can undo snow mold after snow melts. If patches remain in shade, shovel off snow, but removing the cobweblike mold as it melts does little.

Site C plan may not cover near term power needs
Mr. Nash notes anticipated demand rises mainly within southern British Columbia and that Site C's availability will contribute little to load growth in the next few years. B.C. Hydro remains the sole practical supplier for two small U.S. communities, with exports not planned while provincial needs drive the expansion timeline. If Site C proceeds, initial power might not be needed before late 1987 unless a Hat Creek thermal project delays.
