page I 12- - February 2 4, 1977 - North h Shoré New ws An agency for the handi- capped i is seeking help from North Shore residents ‘‘wil- ling to supply room and board at a reasonable cost to vocationally handicapped people for periods from six to ~ 10 months.”’ Laura Draffehn of Oppor- tunity Rehabilitation Work- shop (ORW) says the temp- orary lodging would help place ‘‘out of town people who have been referred to us for help.’’ Last year the group worked with 350 persons. ORW, a non-profit society located at 111 Victoria Drive, . Vancouver, assesses the applicants and provides job training to any resident in B.C. who has _ difficulty entering the work force. Those helped by ORW . ranged from slow learners to. those with physical disabil- ities or emotional problems. . ‘‘Sometimes they are young people, alone for the first time in the Lower Mainland area. Ideally we would like to have a list of homes, available on = an on-call basis, where there would be a warm = and understanding atmosphere... and .a good standard of accommodation,’’ says Pat- ticia Paterson, ORW Intake worker. ‘A good boarding home could be an_ important adjunct to the services we are providing, particularly for people who are unsure of. themselves or need accep- tance.”’ Mayor Bell backs Community schools Mayor Don Bell of North Vancouver District came out in strong support of com- munity | schools—designed for maximum use by local communities outside school hours—during a weekend workshop entitled ‘‘School- Community Partnership’ at Westover Community School Lynn Valley. The mayor felt that all new schools should be community schools, anc that the three responsible bodies—the province, the municipality and the school board— should combine in working out ways to achieve this. Over 100 local parents and teachers attended the work- shop, together with several council members and school trustees.
