Kinsley and Martin Meeting?
Friday, September 30, 2005 02:02 PM
Today was the day Mayor Colin Kinsley was to meet with the Prime Minister in Vancouver to talk about the mountain Pine beetle. Kinsley commented at a recent Council meeting that such a session was planned for today in Vancouver while the P.M. was in that city to address the UBCM.
It is is not clear just what message the Mayor was going to take to the P.M.'s Office, although there were two resolutions on the matter before the UBCM.
One, from Quesnel, called upon the federal government for long term funding to help communities diversify their economies. The other, was from the cCity of Prince George and it asked the Federal Government to call the pine beetle attack a natural disaster to allow municipalities and local residents access to "disaster" funding to deal with the matter.

My first suggestion would be 0% interest loans for value added enterprises under taking capital expenditures. Closely coordinated and assisted by a world class co-op marketing group for the small and medium sized ventures. Maybe the marketing group could double as a broker, and going even further maybe they could even matchup business plans for supplying ready made customers?
