Guest house acce

a welcome change

ALTHOUGH there are still hotel

rooms available in and around
Vancouver during the Expo
period, the amount of accom.

modation is dwindling rapidly.
According to a survey completed

last week by the B.C. Hotels
Association, 78 per cent of com-
mercial accommodation in the

Lower Mainland has been booked
during Expo.

But Expo visitors will still have
lots of places to stay.

Anticipating the demand for ac-
commodation, the World Guest
House program will offer rooms in
private homes when local hotels
are filled.

Some 10,000 Vancouver area
residents will welcome visitors into
their homes during the months
from May to October as part of
the program.

This temporary addition to the
accommodation market will not
only relieve ithe pressure on
already-filled hotels, but alsa pro-
vide a low-cost alternative for
visitors.

Rates at guest houses are firmly
set at $25 for the first adult per
night, $10 for each subsequent
adult and $5 for each child age 11
and under.

Sponsored by the Ministry of
of Emily Carr College of Art and
Design, who has participated in in-
ternational stone symposiums.

The Monday evening classes will
begin April 12 and end May 14.
