But aldermen, pressed by more than a dozen speakers, went on record calling for the Canadian government to go on record as being the first to Strip itself of nuclear weapons if a global disarma- ment program is implemented. A formal presentation by over a dozen people was made to council Monday.

Ald. Doreen Blackburn to the applause of the audience, moved an amendment to the motion that would have staff proceed with a bylaw declar- ing West Van nuclear free but the motion did not receive en- dorsement from council.
