. PIER REDEVELOPMENT

THE VANCOUVER Port Corp.
(VPC) has announced plans to
redevelop Ballantyne Terminal in-
to a modern multi-use terminal
facility, which will combine gen-
eral cargo and cruise ship passen-
ger facilities while retaining some

of the heritage features of the

69-year-old structure.

. Battantyne Terminal, which first
‘opened in 1923, is nearing the end
of its operational life. The aging
pier structure is deteriorating and
does not comply with current
earthquake standards.

Its four existing freight sheds
are functionally obsolete and can-
rot accommodate cargo handling
methods and equipment, said
VPC chief executive officer Capt.
Norman Stark.

“Additionally, Ballantyne’s role

_as an alternative cruise facility, in’

its present form, does not fulfil
the port’s objective of providing
first-class services and facilities
for cruise passengers,”’ said Stark.

The redevelopment would in-
clude a single large warehouse
designed for efficient handling of
general cargo, specifically forest
products, and would require
covered storage for wood pulp.

“The need for this facility is
based on forecasts that indicate
increasing demand for wood pulp
and a rise in demand for suitable
port facilities,*” said Stark.

He added that atiached, but
separate from the warehouse,
would be an attractive, efficient
new cruise passenger terminal
which would enable Ballantyne to
continue serving as an alternate to
the Canada Place Cruise Passen-
ger Terminal.

Stark said that in addition to
the VPC’s own public review pro-
cess for the project, the proposal
has been submitted to the City of
Vancoaver for review.

A Project Review Document,
outlining specific details of the
project, is available for public
review at the VPC offices, 1900-
200 Granville St., Vancouver City
Hall and at select branches of the
Vancouver Pulblilc Library.

@ % Savings Bonds, I know

my investment is secure, because

the bonds are guaranteed by the

Province of B.C. And that’s

important, because at my age.
I don’t want to take any risks.

B.C. Savings Bonds are also a
good investment because the
interest rate is competitive, so
I know my investment will
continue to grow for the entire
life of the bond,

But what I really like about

Invest in Your Future.
