Rec Centre pub
a hot issue

May spark public hearing

By CAROLE STAFFORD

That the proposed pub for
the North Vancouver
Recreation Centre is stirring
some controversy, surprises
North Vancouver Djistnct
Alderman Jim Ball, who is
also chairman of the rec
commission.

“IT didn't think this would
be a contentious issue — but
obviously, it is,” Ball told
Monday's council meeting,
in response to a request from
the Silver Harbour Centre
for a public hearing on the
proposed pub.

The Silver Harbour group
“strongly oppose’ the
granting of a licence to the
recreation centre allowing
them the right to sell liquor
for up to 14 hours a day.”

The request was = ac-
companied by a petition
containing 631. signatures.
No reasons for their op-
position were given.

Alderman Ball said he still
thought the pub was a good
idea. “It’s not illegal, it’s not
immoral — it might be a
little bit fattening ... ”

He also restated his case
that a pub at the rec centre
would be a financially sound
venture. “Anything that’s a
money maker, I'm inclined
to be in favor of,” he said.

He said profits from the
pub would help to offset

costs of the overall operation
of the centre.

Ball said the commission
had had many requests from
groups participating in
recreation programs at the
centre for sucha facility. But
he said he expected most of
the input councils would
receive would come from
those opposed.

Alderman John Lakes
pointed out that the
proposed pub was essentially
a recreauon commission
decision and suggested the
Silver Harbour Centre
request the commission to
hold a public meeting on the
issue.

“In that way. all interested
parties, both those in favor
and those against, can voice
their opinion,” he said

Silver Harbour addressed
their petition to both Distnect
and City councils and to the
Liquor Control Board of
B.C.

Ball said the LCB had
already granted a hcence to
the centre for a pub. But he
said he -~would bnng the
matter up at a recreation
commission meeting
Thursday night

Council agreed to suggest
the Silver Harbour Center
direct its request for a public
meeting to the recreation
commission
