Terrace Bay man seeks nomination for P.C. Party by KAREN E, PARK Jim Files of Terrace Bay, has recently an- nounced his candidacy for the nomination to | represent the Progres- sive Conservative Party of the Lake Nipigon Rid- ing in the upcoming provincial elections. Files, who has resid- ed in Terrace Bay since 1979 (from London, On- tario) is married with four children, and holds a dual position as Ad- ministrative Assistant and Chief Laboratory Technologist at the Mc- Causland Hospital in Terrace Bay. Jim has been actively involved in serving the public through the hos- pital sector since 1973. He has sat on the Board of Directors of the On- tario Society of Medical Laboratory Technolo- gists since-1976, repre- senting the people of Northwestern Ontario on that Board. Through his assistance, the Board has been involv- ed in the development of health legislation pro- posals for laboratories within the Province of Ontario. Prior to his career in the field of health care and before his return to university for five years, he was involved in in- dustry, where he was able to develop a good understanding of the labour force and the types of problems that people have to deal with on a day to day ba- sis. Having lived in both southern Ontario as well as Northwestern On- tario, Jim is able to form an overall objective of the two areas and he firmly believes that the people of this Riding deserve better than what they now have. "I think that we are in a real serious growth stage in the Riding, and I feel that as a member representing this Riding, I can help in that respect by relying on my vast administrative background," stated Files. "I believe that I can help this Riding as a Progressive Conserva- tive member. I intend to work together with the people in order to gain first-hand knowledge of what the needs of each individual community are. The concerns and issues that pertain to Nipigon, aren't the same concerns that face the people of Manitou- wadge.
