Page A-2 - Tuesday, February 2,1993 - The SquamM Times By Michael Booth Times Remrter New immigrants moving to Squamish will have some extra help adjusting to life in their new country thanks to a federal government program. Robert Holmes is currently recruiting residents in the Howe Sound corridor to befiiend new immigrants as part of the Sea to “There’s a need to ty, participating in the community not only working but also cultural- ly.” One of the primary tenets of the program is- to promote multi- culturalism with Squamish’s two largest ethnic groups, Indo-Cana- dim and Filipino families. The program was set up after the federal government deter- mined there was a need to get new immigrants to participate in community activities as well as taking advankge of community services, ‘+ “The way it works is I recruit get immigrant volunteers to participate in the a newcomer and help make the new Canadian’s life easier and better,” Holmes said. “They would participate in activities and outings or show them Canadian recreational activities such as skiing, skating, hiking or swimming. “They’ll work on the leisure activities right through the practical, everyday problems such as where to bank, how to take the local transit, how to use household appliances as well as emotional support.” In Squamish, the program is currently a pilot project determin- but Holmes is proceeding as if the prop’s implementation is gumanteed. He is currently recruiting both volunteers and new immigrant clients to take part in the program in communities between Britannia Beach and D’Arcy. Holmes said the response from the local Indo-Canadian community has been positive so far with one of the community leaders volunteering to serve as a host. . Holmes is looking for no financial commitment from the volunteers, only an offer of six months of fiiendship to either a immigrant “We would like to see a xnini- mum of two hours per week in meeting one; another, anything less does not facilitate a harmonious relationship,” Holmes said. “A volunteer has to be compassion- ate, patient and understanding.” Holmes added ethnic origin is not a consideration for the volunteer, the only requirement is that they promote the use of English whenever possible.

The program has been running in eight separate areas of the Lower Mainland and began operating in Squamish in early January. According to Holmes, Squamish is a natural choice for the program. “There’s a growing population and a growing immigrant gopula- tion as well through the federal immigration policy of family class members,” Be said. “There’s also a need to get the immigrant population here in Squamish to be active members of the communi- I amish Arts is havinfi a U esig - DISTRICT OF SQUAMISH NOTICE TO,ALL BUSINESS OPERATORS 1993 BUSINESS LICENCE FEES ARE Now PAST DUE The District of Squamish Business.

As the timber is flown down to a lot next to the Sea to Sky Highway, curious onlookers are doing their best to get a good look, he said. “They’re pulling off the side of the highway, taking pictures and asking lots of questions.” A security person is on site to ensure people don’t get too close, and all personnel in the area are keeping a sharp eye out to prevent any accidents. With your help, community mascot Gary Baldy will soon rise like a phoenix to regain his position as ambassador for Squamish. The currently ailing feathered friend is suffering terminal mouit, and the future is bleak without some heavy duty transfusions that only community spirited people can provide. How can you help Gary? By contributing a dime or a dollar, by encouraging your friends and-associates to match your donation, you can help the Squamish and District Chamber of Commerce get a revitalized Gary back on the streets and off to community events promoting this area. Tourism is one of the keys to fhture prosperity in Sea to Sky country, and Gary is an important way to get‘ the message across that Squamish not only wel- comes visitors, but leaves a pleasant memory to return. New fuel for the curious is the origin of the helicopter contracted to do the job. The “$2 to $3 million” Sikorsky S-61 helicopter flown by Coulson Air Crane of Vancouver used to belong to a very well known busi- nessman - not ftom this area, how- ever. Donald Trump used the chop- per to fly from New York City to his hotel and casino in Atlantic City before bad financial straits forced him to offload it, henka said. “It’s still painted in the Trump coIours.” . is i no attempt ... on the part of those who made the complaints to give those affected by them a chance to offer solutions or suggest compro- mises.” Deputy-clerk Trudy Coates said staff is under direction of council’s bylaw to take action on the complaints, and has sent out 25 registered letters to suite owners who may be in non-compliance with zoning or the building code. Some replies have been received, she said, and several suite owners have indicated they will serve notice to tenants and remove a second kitchen in the resident. Some of the registered letters have been refused. Counc. Norm Verner said the issue concerns the question of liability. By not acting on the complaints, The Chamber needs $4,500 to provide a new costume for Gary, a costume that can be worn by a vari- ety of people, thus allowing different volunteerp to take and wear the outfit at events in other communities. The help the Chamber reach its objective, The Times is helping out by publicizing the campaign, gathering funds and having the ailing Gary on dis- play on Cleveland Avenue. But the real help to the chamber has to come fiom the residents of Squamish and people can help by donating individually, as a business and/or as a gr-p. School children can get involved by raising money, or even just sending get-well messages to Gary c/o The Times. If we all pitch in, we can help the community grow and prosper. Squamish community mascot Gary Baldy is in such rough shape that professional diagnosis and a prescription for cure was needed. It didn’t take long to determine that not only was “hospitalization” necessary, but an expensive treatment plan had to be undertaken to return Gary’s health and vitality. Without such drastic action, Squamish would be forever deprived of its lovable mascot. To get Gary back on the road to health, happiness and hospitality, first a diagnosis of his ailments was necessary. Dr. Laverne Kindree was called in for an examination, Gary was hosrtitalized in a special Cleveland Avenue. grim diagnosis of the Gary Baldy’s Dr. Kindree made the following illness: name: Gary Age: Seven years Doitor: Address: Squamish and District Chamber of Commerce Box 1o09, Squamish B.C.

Brian Edwards said he is als&oncerned with families being evicted with short notice in the middle of winter, and suggested a longer time span before tenants must leave. Coates said inspections of the suspected illegal suites will take place in the next three to four weeks, at the homeowners’ convenience. If found in non- compliance, tenants are given two months’ notice. If the homeowners rehse to comply, she said, the matter will be brought before council, to decide if court action will be taken: While the list of complaints initiated by the Vall- eycIiffe Ratepayers’ Society is “certainly the largest” received at the District, Coates said: “We’re certainly not in a position to guesstimate how many of these properties even have suites.” ONE ILL EAGLE-Ds.
