Talking to kids and adults about Easter, it
seems that some people aren't even sure
what happened to Jesus 2,000 years ago.
Today’s question Is:

‘Has Easter lost its
religious significance?’

NEWS SURVEY SHOWS
W. Van is aging faster

THREE SENIOR CITIZENS
over the age of 65 live in
West Vancouver for every
two who make their home in
North Vancouver.

This significant difference
in the demographic makeup
of the two North Shore
communities was revealed in
a recent survey by the Public
Opinion Research Division
of the North Shore News.

A geographically balanced
sample of 405 homes bet-
ween Deep Cove = and
Horseshoe Bay was asked:
“How many persons over the

age of 65 are in your
household?”

Overall on the North
Shore 65 per cent of

respondents said they had no
senior citizens living with
them, while 25 per cent had
one or more persons over 65
in the household. Ten per
cent either declined to
answer or “didn't know”.

Broken down by com-
munities, 68 per cent of the
North Van _ households
polled contained no seniors,
compared to 21 per cent
with one or more semor
citizen members.

The corresponding figures
in West Van were 59 per
cent without seniors to 34
per cent with seniors.

A similar pattern emerged
with regard to the number of
seniors in individual
households. In North Van 10
per cent of the respondents

said more than one senior
lived there, compared to 15
per cent in West Van.

The highest concentration
of “senior” households on
the North Shore is in Am-
bleside where 42 per ceat of
the households polled
reported one or more seniors
