NORTH VANCOUVER City firefighters Rick Cannell (right), Al Boomer (centre) and Pete Denness took to the streets Wednes-
day morning to clear snow frorn around the 13th Street firehall. The North Shore's first snowfall of the season resulted in the

clesure of the Squamish Highway as treacherous conditions resulted in several accidents. See story, page 5.

British Pacific Properties Ltd.’s
(BPPL) Canterbury development
will be on the western boundary
of the British Properties, bounded
on the west by McDonald Creek
and on the east by the east branch

of Lawson Creek, just north of
the Westhill subdivision at the
west end of Chippendale Road.

Relatively few people raised
opposition to the subdivision plan
at West Vancouver District Coun-
cil’s Dec. 14 public meeting,
prompting Coun. Diana Hutchin-
son to say that ‘‘the developers
must have done their job well.’”’

But concerns over creek and
tree protection were voiced at the
meeting.

With four creeks running
through the subdivision, the de-
velopment will require eight creek
crossings, which is more than the

number originally planned for.

The crossings will consist of
reinforced earth structures rather
than culverts or bridges.

BPPL fandscape architect Chris
Phillips said the design would
reduce the crossings’ impact on
the creeks.

Under the development plan,
the natural creek corridors will be
protected, and trails wili run
through the corridors, linking

The development will include
three parks.

One of the three parks will run
along Lawson Creek, and will in-
clude the historic Shield reservoir
dam.

Lawson Street resident Derrick
Hawkins said the dam would re-
main as a tribute to those who
built and operated it, and he
pointed out that the log structure
was still in good shape and could
be enlarged to hold more water.
