Upgrading
of
the
Fort
St.
James
airport
and
construction
of
additional
airports
in
the
north
could
result
from
a
provincial
government
announcement
which
promises
upgrading
of
air
facilities
in
central
and
northern
B.C.
Transport
Minister
Jack
Davis
said
Friday
the
government
plans
to
embark
on
a

program,
and
will

upgrading

and
providing
navigational
aids,
has
only
$2
million
a
year
budgeted
in
B.C.
while
the
province's
needs
are
$5
million.
The
announcement
was
welcomed
by
Jack
Stelfox,
executive
vice-president
of
Northern

Ltd.

including
flights
from
Prince
Goerge
to
Prince

Mackenzie
and
Fort
St.

In
Fort
St.
James,
the
airline
leases
a
gravel
airstrip
from
the
village
and
provides
navigation,
communication
and
terminal
facilities.
Stelfox
said
he
would
welcome
someone
other
than
his
company
providing
the
services.
However,
he
said
construction
of
airports
in
places
like
Burns
Lake
or
Vanderhoof
must
also
take
into
account
the
volume
of
traffic
available.
Stelfox
said
service
provided
to
points
west
is
not
used
to
capacity,
and
it
would
be
doubtful
if
service
in
other,
smaller
communities
could
be
justified
in
terms
of
traffic
volume.
"The
major
criteria
of
an
airport
is
that
people
want
to
use
it,"
he
said.
It
is
not
immediately
clear
what
rationale
the
government
will
use
in
deciding
if
a
new
airport
should
be
built
in
a
community
or
if.
existing
facilities
should
be
upgraded.
Prince

Mayor
Harold
Moffat
was
also
among
spokesmen
for
B.C.'s
northern
communities
and
air
services
who
said
they
welcome
the
provincial
proposal.
Moffat
said
he
sees
the
announcement
as
a
move
toward
capturing
some
of
the
trade
from
the
pipeline
development
for
B.C.
instead
of
letting
it
all
go
to
Alberta-based
Pacific

the

to

regular
summer
slowdowns
at
Prince

A
college
board
meeting
Saturday
was
told
the
provincial
government
normally
provides
funds
for
nursing
programs
for
only
24
months.
"We
may
run
into
a
serious
money
problem

observed
board
member
Jim
Pritchard,
noting
that
Victoria
has
so
far
agreed
to
fund

for

Some

Both
college
principal
Dr.
Fred
Speckeen
and
nursing
program
director
Glennyce
Sinclair
told
The
Citizen
that
summer
slowdowns
at
the
hospital
during
July
and
August
are
a
''major
factor"
in
decisions
to
stretch
CNC's
program
to
28
months,
"If
it
wasn't
for
the
slowdown,
it's
possible
our
course
could
run
right
through.
We
could
trim
four
months
off,"
said
Mrs.
;Sinclair
who
has
been
commended
by
the
Re
gistered
Nurses
Association
of
B.C.
for
her
work
in
designing
the
course
curriculum.
She
explained
that
because
of
deferment
of
all
elective
surgery
at
the
hospital
during
July
and
August,
nursing
students
would
miss
out
on
praptical
training
because
patients
would
not
be
around.
However
Mrs.
Sinclair
said
the
reasons
for
the
summer
slowdown
are
under
standable
mostly
economic
and
said
there
are
other
minor
factors
involved
in
stretching
the
nursing
program
to
28
months:
Only
limited
arts
and
sciences,
programs
are
available
in
the
summer
at
the
college
for
nursing
students
;
and
the
present
course
time
module
provides
a
concentrated
period
of
practical
training
in
the
final
semester.
Principal
Speckeen
told
the
board
Saturday
the
length
of
other
nursing
courses
in
the
province
varies,
but
most

for

latest
talks.
Replying
to
Pritchard's
question
as
to
why
CNC's
program
was
not
trimmed
to
meet
government
budget
requirements,
Speckeen
said
the
college
only
learned
about
the
24-month
rule
a
few
months
ago.
In
his
regular
report
to
the
board,
Speckeen
also
said
the
college
disagrees
with
a
government
consultant
who
has
recommended
the
practical
nursing
program
at
CNC
become
an
apprenticeship
program.
This
would
mean
that
all
students
enrolled
in
the
course
would
be
required
to
be
unionized
while
doing
their
pract
icum
in
the
hospitals.
Speckeen
described
the
recommendation
which
was
made
in
the
government's
Hall
Commission
report
as
"inappropriate,
poorly
done
and
unjustified."
Opposition
to
the
proposal,
he
said,
had
come
from
other
colleges
including
Selkirk
and
Vancouver
City
College.
"It's
my
understanding
that
the
provincial
ministry
is
not
looking
on
the
idea
with
much
enthusiasm
either,"
said
Spec-keen.
CNC
currently
enrolls
about
20
students
every
three
months
in
its
practical
nursing
program
which
leads
to
a
certificate
in
practical
nursing.
