. North Vancouver City . Ald. John Braithwaite
; oe announced Monday that ‘he will not run for a third.
I term in the upcoming election. The following i is the.

" : text of Ald. ‘Braithwaite’s statement:

“Over the- past year. and, a.
- half, have seriously. consid="*
ered standing for re-election:
. to council.:and have: now
decided not to do so.

“It was both. a very

‘to make. On the one hand,.
my decision not to stand was
a difficult.one in that many _
citizens over. the year have .
been encouraging me to run

deal to be done.in terms of:
ment of the City’s ‘official |
Community Plan; the ‘need ©
for strategically’ placed acq-
uisition and development of
land for parks: and ‘recreation
facilities is still. vital; and it -,
was difficult : to “terminate -
what I hoped was ‘one of my
roles on‘ council, ‘as a person
who carries ‘a: social’ consc-
~ ious,point of view. on issues
on behalf of many citizens.
“On the other’ hand, ‘there
‘are ‘two’ major;: ‘yet, ‘simple.

First . there: is;the’ personal
one, that of my family. I have

3 been in the political arena for
' four years and .during that
time a great deal of time and

_ effort has gong into not only

' + attending to all kinds of
municipal business in the
form of countless meetings, °
but also listening “to . the
problems‘ ‘and requests . of

' countless individual citizens, .
‘which did not go unattended.
With that kind of involve-

has been left for a young
family growing up.

“The ‘second reason is |
that, over the past two years,

_ difficult, yet simple decision | do

again; there is. still a great .

the completion and fulfiil- “’

reasons for’. not. ‘standing. . oo
