A FIRESALE? Sign which mysteriously appeared outside Lynnmour _firehall

Wedn

y iave been a prank but it was uncomfortably near the truth for the

nine firefighters laid off the night before. The layoffs came as 4 result of the rescue
and safety mini-pumper truck which is kept at that firehall being pulled from service.
Council took the action on costs grounds, ignoring a petition signed by more than
15,000 District residents asking for the mini-pumper and the firefighters to be kept in

service.

Vancouver parent

By BILL BELL

Vander Zalm met
school trustes and super-
intendent Ed Carlin
Thursday in Vancouver to
discuss the school closures,
but no approval was given.

with

Trustees were told that the
minister would, at the
request of Attorney General
Allan Williams, meet with
parent groups of Glenmore
and Eagle Harbour before he
makes a final decision.

“He's been requested to
talk to some parents, but as
far as I'm concerned this is
Aot unusual,” Carlin told the
News.

However, the minister of
education at the time of the
three closures in North
Vancouver last year, dit not
meet with trustees or parents
before giving approval.
Carlin would not comment
on the meeting any further
than to say that some parents
have “escalated” the issue

SCHOOL CLOSURES

Vander Zalm
will meet

WV parents

THERE'S STILL HOPE! Education Minister Bill
Vander Zalm has agreed to meet with West
groups before
whether to accept the trustees’ recommendation
to close five schools there.

A3 - Sunday, March 13, 1983 - North Shore News

he decides

into a provincial matter.

The News has learned that
the school closure issue has
had some negative effect on
the local Social Credit
Constitutency Association in
West Vancouver. And that
Williams has been
threatened with some loss of
liberal support in the riding

unless the school closure
decision is reversed.
Meanwhile, parents are

encouraged by the recent
turn of events and feel that
with the provincial election
looming, the miuinister of
education will fisten to their
concerns senously.
“With the
looming, it looks quite
good,” said Glenmore
Parents’ Association
Chairman Margaret
Robertson. yo
“We've been assured by
Allan Wilhams and the
minister's office that we will
have a meeting. It is looking
a little more hopeful than it
was on Monday night,”
Robertson said.
