_ BEACH PARTIES

The sunny warm weather

meant there was activity on .

all the beaches in West Van
on Friday and Saturday.

“Most beaches in West
Van had some form of Doisy
party on- them,’ -a.
spokesman for West Van

police said.

“Liquor was seized on the
beaches, and in one case at
Ambleside; a person was
charged with causing a
disturbance, as a result of a
fight.

Routine patrols of parks’
and beaches will be made
and sporadic road blocks
will be set up in West Van.

At this time of the year,
the spokesman said it is
necessary for the police to
set the pace so people will
know what to expect for the
rest of the summer.
