from

Dear CRT poneniruenter

Just a short note to thank you for

all of your help in arranging-- and
exediting -- my visit to Cassiar
recently.

I regret that the air traffic
controller's dispute cut short the
length of my visit; howerver, your
assistance over the telephone made it
possible for me to make the most of
the time I did have.

I look forward to seeing you again
during my next visit cules with best
regards , I remain,

Yours very truly,

Iona Campagnolo

CANADIAN TRAVEL

TREND SURVEY

Good news and bad news for Yukon's
tourist industry is revealed in a
1976 survey of travel habits of
Canadians.

Canadians are travelling farther,
using more air travel and package
tours than they used to do, accord-
ing to an annual study of travel
trends released by the Canadian.
Government Office of Tourism.

These facts could indicate a
likely improvement in numbers of
Canadians visiting Yukon in future...

A disappointing conclusion drawn
from the survey is that more Can-
adians are choosing the United
States as their destination and are
taking shorter holidays.

OTTAWA -- Iona Campagn@io, M.P. for
Skeena, has announced a federal
loans program for rehabilitation and
upgrading of homes in northern B.C.
rural communities. The Skeena M.P.
made the announcement on behalf of

‘Urban Affairs Minister Andre
Ouellet.

The loan scheme, called the Rural
Residential Rehabilitation Program
allows up to $10,000 for the rehab-
ilitation and upgrading of housing
in rural communities where popu-
lation does not exceed 2,500. ODe-
pendent upon income, up to $3,750
of each loan of $10,000 can be
forgiven, Mrs.Campagnolo said.

Communities of Chetwynd and Burns
Lake have already made use of the '

- program, and as of today's announce-
ment many more communities become
immediately eligible.

The northern area designated to
benefit from assistance has an
‘estimated population of 102,000 in-
cluding 12,000 status Indians, and
covers the Regional Districts of
Stikine, Peace River-Liard, Kitimat-
Stikine, Bulkley-Nechako, Central
Coast, Cariboo Fraser-Fort George,
and Skeena-Queen Charlotte.

. *Mrs. Campagnolo. said these areas
will share part of $700,000 allott-
ed to British Columbia from now
until the end of this year. Monies
will be available through -the
Central Mortgage and Housing Corp-
oration.

Acting Customs Enforcement
officers have been appointed in
Atlin and Telegraph Creek.

The new officers are Mr. George
Shaw in Atlin and Mrs. Pauline
Meadows in Telegraph Creek.

‘Television Brings Us:

All A Little Closer

Workmen have been busy installing
television cameras in the House of
Commons during Parliament's recess.
Starting next spring, the cameras
will focus on House of Commons pro-
ceedings. It is quite possible that
this technology will change the
delivery of legislation and the con-
cept of politics that we have exper-
ienced until now.
