This Brochure project hits obstacle Two area residents, Paul Barry and Liz Boutilier, are now well into the crea- tion of a unique Terrace Bay 'Friends and Neighbours*' » pamphlet, although the project did reach an obstacle of sorts at the Dec. 23 Terrace Bay Township Council meeting. Barry and Boutilier at- tended the meeting to ask for confirmation of the municipality's intent to purchase copies of the brochure. Council, however, advised the pair that such a commitment could not be made until the 1986 budget is established, an event which is not ex- pected to take place until later this year. The project was first mentioned to council at the Dec. 9 meeting. At that time, Barry explained that the proposed brochures, once printed and distributed, may encourage tourists to stop in Terrace Bay for part of their vaca- tions, rather than Nipigon or Marathon. **The brochure would il- lustrate what Terrace Bay has to offer," Barry said. **It would include a map which would show all of the points of interest in the area and the various ac- tivities available, like golf- ing and skiing." He added that the project would promote the town and that he has received a positive response from town merchants regarding the pamphlets. "*I think it's a great idea, myself," Reeve Ollie Chapman said at the first meeting. "'But what are you asking of us?" Barry said he would like the town to purchase a bulk order and an advertisement in the brochure listings. He added that the project would help the town because "'there is a lot of traffic that either stops in or near Terrace Bay." He told council that he and Boutilier have estimated that they woulld distribute 750 of the pam- phlets at various spots along Highway 17, with another 1,500 at the area campgrounds. A total of 500 would be given to the region's travel association and another 500 would be kept for local distribution in stores and through the township office, for a final give it our for free, as a cost of the project will be covered advertising revenue the total 3,400. **The businesses would of approximately service,' Barry said. The instead by the brochures will generate and form some bulk orders. Barry and Boutilier had wanted to go the press in mid-January.
