OPEN, LETTER TO
NORTH VANCOUVER
‘DISTRICT. COUNCIL

We'did not accept the new type
of” ‘garbage: containers, _ They are”
too heavy when empty.

My mother is 89 years of age —

and can’t cope; my sister has had a
hip, operation and can’t\ cope; i

weigh 100 pounds and wi ould end °

up -across. the’. street ‘in the
' neighbor’s carport, along with the
_ excess garbage, ‘each pick-up day. I.

the day-care situation at Ridgeview
Elementary School. ;
Since 1983 the board his. allow-

ed preschools and day cares access ‘

to surplus classroom = space
available in its schools. With a

The main reason we bape you
will take (his complaint into con-
sideration is the unsightly mess of
“containers sitting on the streets of
the District of North Vancouver.

We had visitors from California -

and they (oak the words out of my
mouth when they asked, ‘What is
this —. garbage can alley?""

Board’ Ss mandate

steady growth in-enrolment at the
elementary tevel this is becoming
increasingly difficult,

The. board is sympathetic to the
needs of day care but it has so
mandate to provide additional
space in the form of a portable for
the out-of-school care of children.
Jis responsibility is to fund the
program requirements of* its
Kindergarten to Grade 12 pepula-
tion during regular school hours,

Funding for day care as a com-
munity service should be sought
elsewhere — for example, from the
municipality, local agencies, foun-

» dations and the users of te sere

vice.
