HARDY hikers lugged
2,500 pounds of food
to the top of Grouse
Mountain July 1 for
the kickoff of the

Food Bank’s annual
Christmas in July cam-
paign.

The food drive also net-
ted cash donations totalling
$1,045.

The campaign, now in its
Nith year, spells our the need
for food donations year
round, said Food Bank
spokesman Larina Dyck.

This summer, food stocks
are at an all-time low, with
only three weeks’ supply on
shelves at the food bank’s
East Vancouver facility.

At the same time, demand
for food bank services has
increased 22% over the past
year, said Dyck.

The Food Bank hopes to

raise $250,000 worth of

food and cash during the
month-long, summer-time
campaign.

On the North Shore, the
Food Bank assists 425 peo-
ple by distributing food
weekly through North Shore
Neighbourhood House.

The Food Bank also

assists 15) families through
Kavlela Family Centre and
provides the Salvation Army
on Lonsdale with perishable
foods.

Organizers of the Grouse

Mountain campaign kickoff

estimate about 3,000 to
4,000 people were on the
mountain that dav.
Donations of non-perishable
food filled 33 personal-size
boxes.

Several North Shore
organizations are accepting
food donations on behalf of
the Food Bank all this
month, including North Van
City’s firchall on 14th Sercet,
Honda Pacific on Marine
Drive and North Shore Tae
Kwon Do on Queensbury
Avenue.

Or, take your donations
to Presentation House on
Chesterfield, BCAA in Park
Royal’s north mall and
Women’s Zone Fitness and
Acrobics in the south mall,
Eagle Harbour Community
Centre and the West Van
Fire Department.

Donations of money are
also needed to purchase sup-
plementary food items and
to meet the operating costs
of the food bank.

Tax-deductible donations
can be sent to the Food
Band, 311 E. 6th Ave.,

THE B.C. Press Council has
adopted a new set of guide-
lines for handling com-
plaints against B.C. newspa-
pers.

The new code, which
replaces one adopted in 1983
when the press council was
tormed, is a marked departure
from the old code in that it
stresses the duties of the mod-

erm press as weil as indicates
the boundaries newspapers
should observe in the perfor-
mance of their duty to inform
the public.

The new code is the prod:

uct of more than 3 year of
consultation between council
and tts more than 120 mem-
ber newspapers, and is
designed to act as a guideline

for council directors when
adjudicating complaints.

The new code was adopted
at the directors’ May 14 meet-
ing and was formally issued on
June 15.

Some of the pew codde’s
features are:

@ oan expanded guideline on

try, religion and marital status,
