‘Students
compete

THE GREATER Vancouver
Regional District’s annual essay
contest for secondary school stu-
dents will be held again this school
year, with four new topics.

The contest is open to all stu-
dents in Grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 in
schools located in Greater Van-
couver and, for the first time, it is
also officially being extended to
include schools in Langley City,
Langley Township, Matsqui,
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.

These five municipalities are not
members of the GVRD but par-
ticipate in some of its functions,
like parks, the water system and
the sewerage system.

This year’s topics deal with
housing, farmland preservation,
emergency preparation and trans-
portation,

First prize has been increased to
$350, second to $250 and third to
$150.

There are also 10 Merit Awards
of family memberships to the UBC
Museum of Anthropology or the
Vancouver Public Aquarium in
Stanley Park.

Submissions may be made
throughout the school year but no
later than Friday, April 10, 1987.

Entries should not be more than
2,000 words, typewritten (double-
spaced) and include the student's
name, age, address, phone
number, school, class and a bibli-
ography.

Entries are judged on content,
research, general appearance and
use of language. Graphics may be
included in essays.

These are the four topics for the
1987 contest:

Housing

Is the single family house doom-
ed in Greater Vancouver? Will we
all be living in high-rises in 25
years? Discuss what living accom-
modation will be like in this region
25 years from now.

Farmland Presezvation

As the population of the Lower
Mainland grows there is increasing
pressure to develop. existing
agricultural land for residential,
industrial, commercial and other
uses. How important is the preser-
vation of farmland in this region?
Consider the question from
various points of view...the farm-
er, the developer, the consumer
and residents of the region.
Emergency Preparation

{s Greater Vancouver prepared
for an emergency like an earth-
quake, tidal wave, major chemical
accident or plane crash? Discuss
emergency planning procedures.
What can be done to improve
them?

Transportation

Do we need more freeways in
Greater Vancouver? More public
transit? Should transit be given
preference on public thorough-
fares? Should restrictions be plac-
ed on the use of automobiles?

For further information call the
GVRD at 432-6200.
