Footage of construction projects in the Victoria area, including "Bawlf's condos"; construction sites in the 1500-block of Blanshard and on Wharf Street (with Johnson Street Bridge and the Parliament buildings in the background); the CBC Victoria building (05-Sep-1978) which became the CHEK-TV studios. Also exterior and interior footage of the Nanoose Library Centre, which is in a log building, and the construction of another log building nearby.

[Construction trades strike]

News item. The ferry "Queen of Cowichan" is launched at Yarrows. Some good footage.

[Cowichan tennis history]

News item. The South Cowichan Lawn Tennis Club is only 10 years younger than Wimbledon (the oldest one in the world). The Cowichan Club is 90 years old this year and has an international membership. Players like it because everyone is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. U.S. members pay an average of $800-$1,000 per year to keep the court in A-1 condition, even though they may only play on it once a year. A member from California especially likes the lawn court, because down there grass is a luxury and grass tennis courts simply do not exist. Shots of old membership photos.

[Dave Barrett -- Legislative Dining Room]

News item. NDP opposition leader Dave Barrett talks to the press about the Legislative Dining Room -- its food, quality, prices, services and atmosphere. When asked how he feels about the government subsidizing food costs, he replies that it helps MLAs with their entertainment costs when they have several guests. The food subsidies are not really a serious problem, he says, as they are constantly monitored by the Speaker.

[Day of Protest]

News item. IWA president Jack Munro is interviewed on an open-line radio program. He says wage and price controls are not working, and that the Day of Protest is to register disapproval with the federal government's "unjust law." The Anti-Inflation Board is too drastic a measure, and that is why Trudeau is backing down on the length of time it will be in effect.

[Day of Protest -- #1]

News item. A relatively small crowd of protesters on the Legislature grounds. Placards read: "Out to fight controls." There are several speakers. John Fryer, BCGEU provincial secretary, says: "While it means that wage controls have got to go, it also means that we have got to do something when they are gone." He goes on: "What we have got to do is sit down with the government, and the trade union movement is going to have to have its rightful voice in our society. And when the trade union movement sits down with the government, we can show them how to build a better Canada."
