THERE ARE only seven more shopping days until
Christmas. People who have not yet completed their
Christmas shopping rush co make their purchases dering
the few days left. As Christmas approaches, stores and
malls get increasingly crowded as people flock to the
shops. During the month of December, many local malls
and shopping areas have extended their closing times to

NV council ponders

no-smoking bylaw

VANCOUVER RECENTLY told
smokers to butt out in the
workplace, and smokers in the Ci-
ty of North Vancouver may soon
have to do the same under a pro-
posed bylaw.

Council decided Monday to send
questions of enforcement, process
and content of a smoking bylaw to
the policy committee for its deci-
sion on the matter.

“An issue for policy considera-
tion is whether to include the
workplace in a smoking bylaw.”
social planner Jill Davidson said in
a report to council.

“The North Shore municipalities
do not include the workplace (in
their smoking bylaws),’’ she said.
“But the new Vancouver and
Pri:sce George bylaws do.”?

The regulation against smoking
has met with increasing public
support, she noted, and
municipalities with existing bylaws
are being asked to broaden the
rules.

The city’s major employers —-
ICBC, BC Rail and B.C. Tel —
each have smoking policies that
restrict smoking to designated
smoking rooms, said Davidson.
