The speaker notes The Pas in Manitoba has evolved beyond its traditional label as the gateway to the North. He discusses progress under the Special Area program and future possibilities, sharing personal observations from discussions with Premier Schreyer. He emphasizes The Pas as a key distribution, service, and administrative center.
The Pas area helped by forest complex growth and federal DREE assistance since the 1950s. The government notes unemployment, low incomes, and skill gaps in 1950s-60s, but foresees continued growth from the forest industry, service jobs, and Special Area programs. Designation extended to 1976.
The Pas Special Area designation opened access to industrial incentives and federal provincial aid for community facilities and social adjustment measures. The Indian Affairs and Northern Development department will contribute 479000 for a new subdivision on The Pas Indian reserve as part of urbanizing plans. The program aims to attract stable population growth, fund water and sewer systems, schools, and civic services, and diversify the economy with a light industrial park. Some 900 jobs stem from forest industry, with 81.6 million allocated for five years to social adjustment and urbanization efforts.
The province adopted a Power Corps style approach offering short term employment projects. Participants gain job experience and counselling and can move directly into jobs or into the regular manpower programs.
The Pas Herald notes that the Manpower Corps program has already accommodated about 500 trainees with a fourth objective under the Special Area program focusing on social development, as reported in Page 3. Continued details appear on Page 10F.
