Browned off Chambers plan letter to boost northern B C chamber links
John Jackman president of the Associated Chamber of Commerce plans a letter to Northern B C chambers after a poor response to a weekend bus charter to Fort Nelson for the trappers rendezvous and a meeting with Premier Dave Barrett. Only eight passengers rode the charter, with Frank Ryan carrying voting rights for Dawson Creek and Jackman claiming representation for the Chetwynd Chamber to secure a quorum. MP Frank Oberle supported the trip but some expected attendees canceled. Jackman questions whether a letter will help, suggesting cutting the chambers tourist booth grant amid apathy toward meetings.
