A LITTLE cold water has
been thrown on the proposal
for a joint bid to host the
1986 B.C. Games on the
North Shore.

West Vancouver
municipal council has defer-
red making a decision on
whether it will join with the
two North Vancouver
cuouncils in submitting a
bid.

West Van aldermen want
more time to receive and
consider a report on a pro-
posal to construct a stadium
seen as part of the Games
package that has been pro-
posed.

A report from West Van
parks and recreation direc-
tor Frank Kurucz says the
stadium is needed because
the North Shore lacks ade-
quate track and field
facilities.

On top of that, Ald. Gor-
don Rowntree says he is un-
willing to address the ques-
tion of support for the
Games until he is fully aware
of the financial implications
of hosting the event.

With the delay to study the
stadium proposal in more
detail, Kuricz reported to
council, it seems unlikely
that a North Shore bid for
the 1986 Games could be

pared in time to meet the
Oct. 5, 1983, deadline for
application.
