watersheds could handle Vancouver’s future water needs. Why not?

REPORTER

IMAGINE the Capilano watershed as one giant pas-
toral playground fer the citizens of the Lower
Mainland. A huge park stretching almost to Britannia
Beach containing a network of trails and lodges: camp-
ing sites in the summer, and a paradise for cross-coun-
try skiers in the winter. And a river running through it
stocked with salmon, steelhead and trout. Can you
envisage the tourism and economic potential for the
North Shore? Grouse Mountain’s chief executive cffi-
cer Stuart McLaughlin certainly can And retired
Capilano watershed gatekeeper Dennis Olson agrees.
In a story in last Sunday’s News, Olson argued persuasively that instead of spend-
ing $95 million in the near future on leak controls and water disinfection and a total
of $350 million on future filtration, that money could go to the under-used
Seymour and Coquitlam watersheds. The Greater Vancouver Regiona! District says
Capilano is needed, but has never been directed to study whether the other two

No, } don’t believe so. I

more important.

If it’s not needed for drink-
ing water, yes F would. We
could always use it as a
reserve.

As long as it was done right
it would be fabulous. Day
lodges would be one exam-

ple.

Jack Brooke

No. The advocates are a
very small percentage of the
public.

It’s a very delicate area.
We've got lots of other areas
that are reasonably accessi-
