The Aluminum City Telethon was started in 1980. The Kitimat Sports Association was approached by the board of directors of the Child Development Centre, and asked for their assistance in raising funds. The idea of a Telethon was agreed on and a committee was formed.
Each year the Telethon executive receives requests from the different non-profit organizations within our own community. They then decide on how to disburse the funds raised that year. after the letters of requests are reviewed and a brief presentation is made to the board of directors explaining how the money received will be spent.

HIKERS and other outdoorsmen who have been down the Kildala dike road lately may have seen the drilling rig pictured above. The Sentinel spotted it and began to ask questions. The answers led not to oil or gold but to Eurocan Pulp & Paper Co. Ltd. A spokesman in Vancouver disclosed that although engineering and economic studies had been completed on the proposed Emsley Cove site down the channel the economic feasibility of other possible sites were also being throughly investigated. Eurocan personnel, together with the Vancouver firm of Ribley, Klohn and Leonoss Ltd., have been doing seismic and other tests on the site where the rig is shown, above, between Kildala neighborhood and Minette Bay,
