Association (CCPA) for
awareness programming.

North Vancouver District is also
a safer place to live as a result of
these efforts.

President of the CCPA Jean
Belanger will be making «& pres-
entation to Mayor Marilyn Baker,
at the April 10 meeting of North
Vancouver District Council.

According to fire chief Archie
Steacy, the district and the fire
department have worked closely
with CCPA and its local members
on the CARE Community
Awareness and Emergency
Response program.

There are three chemical manu-
facturers in North Vancouver
District: Canadian Oxy, Albright
Wilson and Mohawk Oil.

Another program is
TRANSCARE, which has to do
with awareness and cmergency
response to chemical goods trans-
ported through the community.

The district tested some of its
emergency response procedures
last September with a mock chem-
ical spill involving the railway.

“It was an excellent exercise,
revealing some of the good things
and some of the poorer aspects of
our response plan. It was a iearn-
ing process,’’ reported Steacy.

The district also has written an
einergency response plan for local
schools which has created a lot of
interest from other school districts.

Steacy’s expertise has been in-
demand in recent times,.such that
he has been invited to give talks at
seminars in Toronto, Edmonton
and Vancouver, and may travel to
Halifax for a seminar in May.

A similar motion was defeated
last December, but Ald. John
Braithwaite said council should re-
consider donating funds because
the Federation of Canadian
Municipalities had not contributed
money as anticipated. He said sev-
eral other municipalities had taken
the lead by individually commit-
ting funds.

Ald. Stella Jo Dean said it was
not within the city’s. mandate to
support this type of expenditure.
She quoted the city’s Mission
Statement which says city council
should be responsible for ‘‘the
provision of effective government
(to) ...maximiz(e) the city’s poten-
tial.”’

But Ald. John Braithwaite said
support from council would put
into action the weekly city procla-
mations that supported various
human rights’ groups. Council had
supported an earlier motion pro-
claiming March 21 the Interna-
tional Day for the Elimination of
Racial Discrimination in the ‘City
of North Vancouver.

Braithwaite also emphasized the
contribution was a ‘“‘one-time’’
expenditure.

The organization lists several
well-known patrons including
Justice Thomas Berger, Joy
Kogawa, Justice Jules Deschenes,
Chief George Erasmus and Jean
Chretien,
