sign of the success of North
Aine tourism industry

Adis the No. 236 Grouse
Mountain bus.

About four years ago, B.C.
Transit established the direct bus line
from Lonsdale Quay to Grouse
Mountain. The route was so success-
ful that today it boasts the highest
ridership of any in North Vancouver,
said Judi Ainsworth, manager of the
North Vancouver Chamber of
Commerce.

Grouse Mountain resort president
and chamber vice-president Stuart
McLaughlin credits Expo ’86 with
putting Vancouver onto the world
stage and promoting Grouse
Mountain not only as a winter desti-
nation but as a year-round one as
well, ;

The publicity changed the man-
agement’s focus. In 1984, Grouse’s
business was 50% tourism and 50%

of students in all aspects of the
resort’s operation — from the restau-
rants to the chair lift. McLaughlin

rejects the notion that all jobs in
tourism are low-paying.

-He said no one on the mountain
is paid minimum wage and that
many positions are skilled positions
that provide career incomes.

“People are not choosing a
tourism position as a stop-gap job:

it’s a career choice.” .
