By Maureen Curtis Contributing Writer The West) Vancouver facility would be open late into the even- ing and would integrate the various youth resources and social services that are already in place but not always available when needed, While the junior council agreed that the two youth access centres proposed for North and West Vancouver are needed, council opted to return the issue to municipal statf for further discus- sion, The junior council, headed by Behzad Etemadi, included West Vancouver high school students with an imerest in local govern- tment. Chris Ander, David Bell, Eu-Meng Lam, Boris Mann, Dan Misri, Nudine Pedersen, Ashley Roberts and ‘Trisha Stark joined Etemiadi on junior council.
