for Howe Sound park

A $58,000 study funded by
the federal and provincial
governments has recom-
mended development of a
$20 million mining-oriented
theme park at Britannia
Beach with the B.C.
Museum of Mining as its
focus. .

The pre-feasibility study,
conducted by H.A. Simons
(International) Ltd., DPA
Consulting Lid. and Ejikos
Planning and Environmental
Design Group Ltd., was
funded under the Travel
Industry Development
Subsidiary Agreement
(TIDSA) and was released
early this summer.

After receiving the report,
the museum board of
directors initiated a review
of the study as recom-
mended by the consultants.

The board agreed in June to
take the next recommended
step: development of the
ownership and financial
structure of the theme park.

In 1979 the -Britannia
Beach Historical Society,
the non-profit body which
operates the B.C. Museum
of Mining, was granted a 99-
year lease on 13 acres of land
adjacent to the museum site
by. Dome Petroleum.

The museum is acquiring
title to an additional 27 acres
of prime land donated by
Copper Beach Estates Ltd.
Copper Beach holds acreage
at Britannia Beach
previously held by
Anaconda Canada Limited,

former operators of the
Britannia copper mine.
The TIDSA study

O/

recommended © that the
theme park be privately
operated on a seasonal basis
and combine elements of an
exciting amusement park
with aspects of an authentic
1920’s B.C. mining com-
munity.

The B.C. Museum of
Mining now provides a
unique opportunity for
British Columbians to learn
about the province’s mining
industry, from the carly days
of metal use to modern
mining.

NV disco sexist?

Is a North Vancouver
disco guilty of reverse sex
discrimination?

That's what City Alderman
Frank Marcino wants to
know.

Marcino told council
recently he has noticed a
sign outside Whispers at
1421 Lonsdale announcing
“Ladies Only” nights Monday
and Tuesday.

The sign advertises male
exotic dancers performing
from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
these nights.

Marcino asked city ad-
ministrator Ed Raymond to
look into the matter and see
whether only ladies are
allowed at these times. If so,
Marcino said, Raymond
should see whether this
violates Whispers’ licence.
