_North Shore canine resident, Reddy will be one of the many dogs kept under the watchful eye of the West Vancouver
bylaw enforcement staff as the pre-summer cleanup crackdown begins on dogs found wandering around public playing
fields, tennis courts, fitness circuits or parks.

WEST VANCOUVER dog
owners take note: local
bylaw enforcement officers
have served notice they will
be stepping up their patrols
in search of dogs being per-
mitted to run through park
and fitness areas in the
municipality.

Cst. Dave Bingham of the
West Vancouver Police
department says owners tak-
ing dogs to West Vancouver
parks, beaches, playgrounds,
fitness circuits and tennis
courts could be liahle for
fines.

Special Constable John
Laurenson, supervisor. of the
municipality’s bylaw en-
forcement unit, says the
move is not related to any
specific incidents which oc-

curred recently. However, he
admits the move is an at-
tempt to ‘‘clean up’’ the
parks before the sumimer
season,

“A lot of people have
been ignoring the signs and
some dogs are doing their
business on playing fields
and other park. areas,’’ says
Laurenson.

He says the maximum fine
levied :to owners is $10 per
dog, an amount. v:nich also
applies to owners of dogs
kept on leashes.

“This rule is in effect for
12 months of the year. It
may be different in some
other areas, but it applies in
West }Van throughout the
year,’’ says Laurenson.

Incinerator
proposed

1990.

Until that time, the report
says, the Premier Street site
should continue operation as
a landfill,

The report calls for work
on the implementation phase
of the project to: begin in
Sune, with all systems ‘in
place by October 31, 1986.

At that time, the report
envisions unchanged opera-
tion of the Burns Bog and
Premier Street landfills, a
new landfill in the eastern
end of the Greater Van-
couver area and modular in-
cinerators in Maple Ridge
and Matsqui.

The only relief possible
for the North Shore at that
time — according 10 the
draft proposal — would be
the possibility of using the
Premier Street site as a
transfer station, with gar-
bage hauled from there to
the new regional landfill to
the east.

(The draft report has
recommended one of four
sites in Langley or Matsqui

for that new landfill.)

The process of. converting
the Premier Street site from
a landfill operation to in-
cineration would begin after
the October 31, 1986 date
according to the report.

The draft proposal now
goes to the political steering
committee of the Lower
Mainland Refuse Project, a
group that comprises the
three regional districts and
their member municipalities.
Their approval, and the ap-
proval of the provincial gov-
ernment, will be sought in
adopting the plan as pres-
ented or, says the report, ‘‘a
modified plan (that is) very
similar.”’

The report also calls for
increased emphasis on
reducing the amount of
waste generated — primarily
through recycling and public
education.

The Lower Mainland
Refuse Project was set up by
the three Lower Mainland
regional districts to find a
long-term solution to the in-
creasingly difficult problem
of waste disposal throughout
the region.
