THE LIEUTENANT Gov-
ernor and Executive Council
of the Government of British
Columbia . have’ issued a
proclamation designating
May 23-29 as New Home
Week.

“The government proc-
lamation was granted in rec-
ognition: of the new home
industry as one of the major

_employers. of British Col:
“umbians and as a generator

of extensive economic activi-
ty throughout the province,”
said Claude Richmond,
Minister of Social Services
and Housing.

“As well, the construction
of new homes . primarily
employs B.C. tabor and uses

B.C. products and thereby’

encourages long term

‘economic growth and

stability in) the provincial
economy. Finally, the hous-
ing industry not only pro-
vides comfort and health
benefits to the consumer,
but excellent career oppor-
tunities for the province’s
young peoplc,"" he said.
Recent statistics . confirm

“the magnitude of the in-

dustry’s contribution to the

‘economy. In 1987, the hous-

ing industry generated $2.5
billion and directly employed
more ..than .70,000 - people

throughout the province.

jor industry recognition that
the housing industry has
teceive.. from the province,”

Association of: British Col-
umbia (CHBA-BC) president

contributor to B.C.'s
economic growth and well-
being, the industry continues
to grow and stabilize. Since
1984. new home starts have

steadily increased to 29,000°

in 1987. There is every in-
dication that this amount
will continue to rise
throughout 1588 and 1989."*

To celebrate the procia-
mation, local home building
associations throughout the
Province have
public, educational, and
consumer information semi-
nars and symposiums
