NV yard completes ferry
MN. Queen of Cumberland

A NORTH Vancouver
shipyard has built the latest
addition to the B.C. Ferry
Corp. (BCFC) fleet.

The M.V. Queen of
Cumberland was commissioned by
Vancouver Shipyards Co. in
North Vancouver on Saturday.

“This new ferry, with the ca-
pacity to carry 5O more cars than
its sister ship, the Queen of
Capilano, will significantly in-
crease service on the Swartz
Bay-Gulf Islands route for British
Columbians and_ visitors,’ said
B.C. Finance Minister Glen Clark,
the minister responsible for the
BCFC.

He added that the construction
of the Queen of Cumberland took
one year and generated 240 person
years of employment.

The new ferry has the capacity
to carry 306 passengers and crew
and 127 vehicles. The vesset is 96

metres in length, has a loaded
displacement of 2,500 tonnes and
a service speed of 14 knots.

The ship also has diesel electric
propulsion and computerized
engine rooms.

Before servicing the new route,
the vessel will undergo sea trials
and crew familiarization for a
minimum of two weeks beginning
May !.

WITH A final ban on out-
door burning scheduled for
some time this year, West
Vancouver District Council
continues to receive letters
from residents asking for a
reprieve for this traditional
garden waste disposal
method.

By Maureen Curtis
Contributing Writer

The bylaw allowing West Van-
couver residents to burn garden
refuse outdocrs officially expires
on April 30

Near the end of Monday night's
council] meeting, Ald. Diana Hut-
chinson said, “lo was not a
member of council when this deci-
sion was made, and | wonder how
much discussion there was on the
idea of allowing permits for burn-
ing in special cases.”

She said some residents with
steep lots or infirmities
might bave difficulty getting
garden refuse up to the street for
pick-up.

Burning ban opposition persists

WEST VANCOUVER
DISTRICT COUNCIL

Hutchinson also suggested that
the current permit system should
be extended until alternative
methods for garden waste disposal!
have been developed.

Ale, Pat Boname made a mo-
tion that the idea of an extension
be referred to the district's en-
vironmental coordination commit-
tee.

“There will be another progress
report on this issue coming in a
month’s time,” said Soname.
