businessmen who voluntafily
servedthe region. and the-.

years."
"How do we advise our staff
that they are no -longer, after 17

While the board regretted the
disbanding of the regional
development councils, . they
agree some changes - to the
current system were needed:
The board is still in some
doubt off'- receiving- its usual
$12,000 grant. from' the province
at the end of August. Without it,
the council must disband in
September and could incur, a
$1,548 debit if it held out until
September 30, said General
Manager Neville Keefe.
