“In the competition between the
currents of tradition and innova-
tion, it is the spirit of service and
the enduring values associated
with it that serves to keep our ca-
noe afloat. These opportunities
derive from our resolve to work
with our educational partners in
northern BC, both the school dis-
tricts and the colleges, in order to
develop innovative joint programs
that make the most efficient and
imaginative use of our combined
physical and human resources.
They come from our commitment
to work with aboriginal peoples to
assist them inthe recovery of their
languages and cultures. The oppor-
tunities derive from our ability to
work closely with industry and the
communities in this region to fos-
ter economic growth.”

whose rebuttal focused on the
enormous costs of keeping a presi-
dent. Macknack suggested a more
high-tech and cost-effective (only
three installments of $49.95) so-
lution involving a small tape re-
corder and a sock. He was fol-
lowed by an anonymous fellow,
whose identity remained cleverly
concealed behind a screen. The
