The 35-square-foot kiosk, own- ed by B&B Ticket Sales, was ordered by city staff to shut down unless its owners could provide an additional 21 parking spaces in the S2feway lot. EEE NORTH VANCOUVER CITY COUNCIL The kiosk, which has been in business in Upper Lonsdale for years without a business licence, was ordered to apply for a business licence, but was refused that licence because it didn’t meet the requirements for parking. B&B was toid by the city’s property-use inspector Percy Melville that because the kiosk is located in front of Canada Safeway at 130 E. 13th St., it constituted an expansion to the Safeway building and required an increase in the number of on-site parking spaces. The bylaw was introduced and given first reading. Yet, theze’s no doubt, with changing curriculum, portable classrooms, ESL needs, and the demand for college enrolment, we have challenges ... important chailenges .. . that must be addressed. We must have a plan for basic and post secondary education that reflects the needs and growing numbers of our citizens. And we must be sure the money is there to do the job. Politicians, schoo! boards and teachers must work together. The conflict must stop! It’s for our future ... CAMPAIGN OFFICE: #115-1433 LONSDALE it’s for our kids!” SOCIAL CREDIT ———— Phone 986-0043
