pics and because of declining
government contributions to
the Olympic selection and
training process.

This year’s calendars, the
brain child of a former Ca-
nadian Olympic team
physio-therapist now located
in Vancouver, are the first in
a series of four, leading up -
to the next round of Olym- oe
pic Games in 1988.

A NORTH VANCOUVER anti-dumping
group has given the COLD-shoulder io op-
tions for the future handling of Lower
Mainland refuse that include the continued
operation of the Premier Street landfill here.

COLD — Citizens Op-
posed to Landfill Dump-
ing — have hit those rec-
ommendations because
they feel the Premier Street
landfill is unsuitable.

They also feel cost
estimates included in the

report are unrealistic and
that pollution aspects of
landfills: are being
overlooked in the overall
examination of waste
disposal.

The report in question,
prepared by the Lower

Mainland Refuse Project,
lists nine options for the
long-term disposal of the

1.25 million tonnes of.

waste generated on the
Lower Mainland each
year.

Those options range
from the construction of
a single large incinerator
to Annacis [sland to
combinations of landfiil,
recycling and smaller in-
cinerators.

As far as Premier
Street is concerned, the
report’s recommenda-
tions range from closing
it immediately and in-
stalling either a transfer
station or a modular in-
cinerator to keeping it in
use as a landfill for the
next 10 to 12 years.

Inabrief prepared for
COLD, tong-time
Premier Street opponent
John O'Brien says the

recommendations that
deal with extending the
life of the North Van-
couver dump are not in
compliance with earlier
agreement ‘‘that all land-
fill options for new sites
or extensions to existing
sites would be selected
from a list that met a
minimum standard ‘of

go to the Canadian Oyimpic
Association and not to the
committee organizing the
1988 winter games.

“We have a crew of 16
now,’? says Kirk. ‘We're
going to try to cover. the
whole North Vancouver area
on a door-to-door basis.””.

Response.to the calendars
has been good so far, he
adds, saying that about one
