Phillips urges attention to grant applications in Victoria
Phillips aims to ensure grant applications receive proper attention in Victoria. He highlights support for community centers in outlying areas as social hubs and notes other lottery grants funded fire halls. He remains optimistic about Expo enhancing Pacific Rim trade and a possible Japanese auto parts plant in B C. The Site C dam and Dawson Creek forestry offices are mentioned with limited detail. An election timing is unclear due to Royal Tour constraints with Prince Charles visiting for Expo in May.

Council gears up for Chinook Centre rezoning and rodeo expansion
Chetwynd and District Council met March 18 with most members present. Rezoning for Chinook Centre from C2 to C1 could allow a local dress maker to acquire retail space. A proposed multi use building at Rodeo Grounds, 150 by 300 feet, would host livestock boarding events shows and social functions, costing about 1.5 million with two thirds from Expo Legacy Fund. Council gave tentative approval while granting aid for grounds upgrades, extending property sale agreement with Cascade Reality, declaring Block Parent Week April 7–11 and P.A.L. Week in May, and authorizing beaver trapping near the Airport Pine River area.
