‘‘We have a special smile
for you!’’ is the theme of a
new Tourism British Colum-
bia campaign directed to all
who come in contact with
visitors to our province.

In announcing the cam-

paign, Provincial Secretary
and Minister of Travel
Industry, Grace McCarthy
said: ‘‘In the next few weeks
you will be greeting many
visitors to your province.
Some will be old friends,
others will .be first-time
visitors. I hope that you will
‘go that extra mile’ and
extend a very special wel-
come to each of our guests so
that we can be sure that
everyone will want to return
to British Columbia’’.

The minister has particu-
larly requested those em-
ployed in the hospitality

industry, in retail outlets and

other visitor service loca-
tions, to wear one of the
multi-coloured ‘‘Smile But-
tons’” to remind all that
visitors are VERY IMPORT-
ANT PEOPLE to everyone in
our province. The general
public will also be requested
to join in this campaign.

Faced with the fact that
Japanese whaling companies
areexpanding their whale-kil-

ling operations in countries

which do not pay any
attention to limitations set on
the hunt by the International
Whaling Commission,
Greenpeace Foundation. has
decided to send two full-scale
antiwhaling expeditions to
sea this summer.

One of these expeditions,
launched from Honolulu, will
seek out the Japanese
whaling fleets. The second

-will set out from Vancouver

in mid-July.

-The Vancouver-based op-
eration will involve the
150-foot former Royal Cana-
dian Navy minesweeper
‘‘James. Bay,’’ which was
used successfully by Green-
peace last year to save

roughly 1,400 sperm whales

in the North Pacific.

Greenpeace President Dr.
Patrick Moore admits that
the two-pronged attack on
the whaling fleets this

summer will ‘‘stretch us to
the limits,’’ but adds there is
every indiction that the
plight of the whales is far
worse than any ef the
whaling nations is saying.

the

‘*Therefore we must take a
now-or-never attitude or else

it might be too late forever -

for the whales,’’ Dr. Moore
said.

In order for the Vancouver-
based expedition to succeed,
local environmentalists and
whale-lovers are being asked
to help provide the ship with
food. and galley equipment,
paint, electrical and mech-
anical help, Zodiacs, out-
board engines and- dona-
tions.

Anybody who can help
any: way is asked to call
Bobbi at the Greenpeace
office at 738-7134, or write to
