Terrace Bay-Schreiber News, Wednesday, February 5, 1986, page 5 'Schreiber now working towards Official Plan. The following is the first in a series of background articles on the Schreiber Official Plan as submitted to the Terrace Bay- Schreiber News by Conlin Engineering and Planning Ltd. of Welland, Red Lake, and Keewatin. The firm is presently forming the plan for the township. There will be eight to 10 articles in this series. As part of the process of preparing an Official Plan for the Township of Schreiber, a Background Report was prepared which describes those aspects of the Township which have a bearing on the prepara- tion of a Plan. The highlights of the Background Report are presented in this article and Duplicate Bridge Duplicate bridge _ is played every Friday night in Terrace Bay. Play starts at 7:30 p.m. in the High School Home Economics Room. All interested bridge players are welcome. Results of play on January 24: First was David and Allison Stewart.

Physical The Township -- of Schreiber is 7,449 hectares in area and, except for the township and an area around Walker's Lake, is primarily covered with forest and bush. The underlying bedrock of the Township is part of the Pre-Cambrian Shield and was formed between five hundred million and five billion years ago. It is con- sidered that the mineral potential of the Township is quite high. Overlying the bedrock are predominantly sandy soils which are shallow to bare and shallow. Exposed bedrock is quite common and the topography of the Township is quite broken and varied. The townsite of Schreiber lies within an outwash plain. Schreiber Township is part of the Lake Superior Climatic Region and has a mean annual temperature of two degrees Celsius and a mean annual frost-free period of 103 days. Population In mid-1985, the popula- tion of the Township of Schreiber was 1,891. Schreiber's population has remained relatively stable since 1979. In contrast, both the District of Thunder Bay and the Pro- vince of Ontario exhibited moderate population growth in this period. In comparison to the Thunder Bay District and province, Schreiber's age structure is relatively young. Schreiber's popula- tion has relatively high percentages of the popula- tion in the 15 to 24 years of age category and a relatively low percentage of the population in the 65 years of age and over category. In recent years, however, Schreiber Township's population has been maturing. Employment In late 1985, there were approximately 538 full- time jobs and 170 part-time jobs in the Township. These occurred in 57 economic activities or . businesses. , Between 1971 and 1981, the total number of residents of the Township of Schreiber with employ- ment increased from 700 to 885, an increase 'of 26.4 per cent. Although this is a relatively large increase, it is below the rate at which job -opportunities for residents of the Thunder Bay District and province grew during this period. Given the fact that employment opportunities for Schreiber residents grew much more slowly between 1971 and 1981 than did those for residents of the District and pro- vince, one might assume that Schreiber's unemploy- ment rate would be significantly higher than that of the District and pro- Vince--ine4 98... This. however, was not the case. In both 1971 and 1981 Schreiber's unemployment rate was less than: that of the Thunder Bay District and the province. Although this seems inconsistent, it must be recognized that (1) labour force growth in Schreiber has been minimal and, therefore, the local economy has not had to create many jobs without its unemployment rate in- creasing substantially; and (2) recently unemployed individuals and entrants to the labour force in Schreiber who do not find a job quickly migrate to other areas where job op- portunities seem to be more plentiful and, therefore, are not counted in Schreiber's jobless statistics.
