Craft fair proceeds
go towards playground

THOUGHTS OF a white Christmas have turned to green this year at
Monteray Elementary School.

Students, staff, and parents are pteparing for a craft fair to be held
in aid of a community playground.

“‘There are no grass fields and virtually no parks between Delbrook
and Lonsdale above Montroyal and our aim is to build a playground
which will serve the entire community.’’ says playground committe
chaiperson, Alice Swanton.

The project is named Visibly Improved School In Our Neighbourhood
(VISION), and one of the objectives is to redevelop the playground in
a way that would provide opportunities for children to be creative in the
playground environment.

Last spring parent and staff volunteers built a garden area adjacent to
Monteray Elementary School, and later a sand area was also added.
Says Vice-Principal Rutyh Addy, ‘‘We would like to encourage local
participation in planning the VISION project. We're hoping that in ad-
dition to fundraising, our craft fair will heighten community

awareness.” .
The event will include a wide variety of hand-crafted goods, video

entertainment, Christmas music performed by students, a fishpond,
and a tea room.

The craft fair is being held on Friday, December 7 between 3 and 7
p.m. at Monteray Elementary School, 4343 Starlight Way, North Van-

couver.

| Hydro donates
4 to seniors program

DEBBIE PELVAY. Seve Fowles and Sevein Bjorklund of BC Hydro,
North Shore, recentty presented a cheque to Patricia Bell of Capilano
Community Services Society (CCSS).

Funds were raised through a corporate donations program aimed at
helping CCSS’s Senior Citizens Outreach program.

“BC Hydro strives to remain sensitive to the needs of the communi-
ty.’ says Brian Demerse, area manager. ‘One way that this is achieved
is through our Corporate Donation Program. This allows our employees
to support programs that provide worthwhile community benefits."”

“When CCSS contacted Hydro and requested assistance so that they
could carry out their outreach program for senior citizens,’’ continues
Demerse, ‘‘we were pleased tc join with other businesses and groups in
our community to lend our support to a very important group of peo-
ple.”

Earlier this year, a re-organization of BC Hydro included the decision
to re-establish an area office with responsibility for the provision of
improved customer service for the North Shore.

There are approximately 50 emplovees assigned to this Hydro office
who are involvec 4 all facets of the operation. Headquarters for this
group is currently located in Burnaby. However, budget permitting, the
goal is to find a suitable location on the North Shore at the earliest op-
portunity.
