RESIDENTS IN the Squamish- Whistler area will have a chance to share their views on property taxa- tion at a Sept. 14 Property Tax Forum. Finance Minister Mel Couvelier and Municipal Affairs Minister Rita Johnston will be chairing the forum at the Garibaldi Highlander Hotel from 9 a.m. to noon. The ministers are leading the panel, which also includes Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) president and North Vancouver District Mayor Marilya Baker and tax reform activitist Conrad Adams, on a tour of the province through August and September. No forums have been scheduled for the North Shore. “The rising cost of municipal services and resulting increases in property taxes have caused a wave of concern across the province,”’ Couvelicz said in a press release. “We want to get to the root of that concern and go to people for workable solutions which are fair and sustainable.”” The meetings will be conducted as an open forum, encouraging a free exchange of ideas and em- phasizing remedies. Residents will be invited te pro- vide suggestions in writing or at the meeting on how the province can assist local governments to pay for services such as schools, police and fire protection, roads, parks and recreational facilities. The discussions will be recorded and a report prepared for cabinet and the public. “Property taxes are meant to give locally-elected governments the means to fairly distribute the costs. of services they provide. We want to determine if this objective is being achieved,’’ Johnston said in a prepared statement. A background paper on the sub- ject of property taxes has been prepared by the UBCM as a basis for discussion. It addresses the Demonstration forest tours offered THE FREE guided tours in the Seymour Demonstration Forest in North Vancorver have proven so popular that the GVRD will con- tinue them every Sunday until Oct.

Artyard sale held in NV ARTYARD, A new concept of: showing art in a garage-sale type setting, is coming to the North Shore, Sunday, Sept.10. This event will be held at 141 W. Rockland (top of Lonsdale Ave.) in North Vancouver, the home of painter and art teacher Terrisa Adems. Approximately 80 pieces by Adems, sculptor Ingo Tscharnke and painters Blair Ayling and Sandra Smith (known for her floral watercolors) will be made available. “Artyard avoids the often in- timidating surroundings of galler- ies and brings art out into a zatu- ral setting where people can chat and browse and buy origina! art- work at reasonable prices,’’ says Tscharnke. The uniqueness of Artyard lies in the direct, informal contact be- tween the artist and the art en- thusiast, who can, at the same time as viewing the art, get acquainted with the artist’s viewpoint and cre- ative process. For further information about this event contact Collin or Terrisa Adems at 987-5885. Other artists interested in organizing their own Artyard or in participating in someone else’s may call Tscharnke at 327-8167. The hour-long tours are held regardless of the weather and arc led by registered professional for- esters from the Canadian Institute of Forestry and_ representatives from other sectors of the forest industry. This is the second time this summer that the program has been - extended in response to public de- mand, but a further extension past t Oct. 8 is unlikely.
