BOSUNTSS BRIEFS

TWO WEST Vancouver com-
panies have been aided by the B.C.
Trade Development Corporation
in developing export sales for their
products.

West Vancouver-Howe Sound
MLA John Reynolds said the
Crown corporation helped the two
companies, AMS Manufacturing
Ltd.and Myroka Sales Corp., par-
ticipate in national and interna-
tional trade shows.

Reynolds said the companies
normaliy would not have been able
to pursue these opportunities
without assistance.

AMS Manufacturing marketed
its ergonomically designed aerobic
hand weights at the Canadian
Sporting Goods Association trade
show in Montreal.

Myroka Sales Corp. exhibited its
accessory products for mobile
telephone installations at the
Telecator Exposition in
Washington, D.C.

International Business Minister
Elwood Veitch, chairman of B.C.
Trade, said the two companies
were allotted up to $2,000 cach
under B.C. Trade’s New Market
Development program to help with
expenses.

FORESTS MINISTER Claude
Richmond recently announced that
the B.C. Forest Service will invest
$5 million from its 1990-91 budget
in the one-year-old community
forestry program.

“This brings the provincial gov-
ernment’s total commitment to
community-based forestry projects
to $9 million, after including the
$4 million allocated by the social
services and housing ministry
towards the province's forestry
enhancement program,’ Rich-
mond said.

He added the program could
create 750 short-term jobs by
allowing municipalities and
regional districts to further im-
prove forests in their area.

The program, which applies to
Crown or municipal forest lands,
also generates income and eco-
nomic activity in municipalities
and regional districts.
