male students at a West Vancouver high school.

West Vancouver Police charged
62-year-old Dr. Daniel Bristow, of
4456 Canterbury Crescent in North
Vancouver, Thursday with six
counts of indecent assault on a
male and three counts of gross in-
decency.

The offences are alleged to have
occurred between 1968 and 1979 in
West Vancouver, North Vancouver
and other parts of the province.

Bristow, who has a doctorate in
music, taught at several schools in
the West Vancouver school
district, including Sentinel Sec-
ondary School, and last worked as
a music teacher in the municipali-
ty.

He was dismissed from his
teaching position by the West
Vancouver School Board earlier
this month,

Said West Vancouver school su-
perintendent Bill May: ‘Dr.
Bristow was dismissed by the
board for misconduct and that’s
all I'm prepared to say for the
moment.”

Said Kit Krieger, president of
the West Vancouver Teacher’s
Association: ‘‘I really have no
comment to make about Dr.
Bristow — that should be made by
his employer."

West Vancouver School Board
chairman George Suart is out of
the country, and was not available
for comment to News press time
Friday.

Investigation by West Van-
couver Police began in December
after a former student lodged a
complaint. .
