Having just read the West
Vancouver Municipal News,
I want to compliment the
Communications Com-
mittee, Trustees John
Gregory and Dawn Sikula
for an admirable job!

With reference to your
Chairman's message, I share
your confidence “that with a
unified effort we can im-
prove the standards of
education in our district,
despite pinched dollars.”

Our Superintendent's
reverence and respect for his
teachers, combined with our
new Director of Ad-
ministration’s obvious lateral
thinking abilities, and the
progressive programming
coming from the Instruction

sphere, complemented by
the concrete information
given to us, the parents and
taxpayers, reaffirms that
confidence.

Thank you for the con-
sultative atmosphere you
have created since our
somewhat catastrophic
budget) misunderstandings.
Sometimes we may say what
we're concerned about in
ways that can be mis-
construed, but it is so im-
portant that we say them.

West Vancouver’ has
shown its ability to plan with
an ear to the “grass roots,”
and that planning shows. We
sometimes seem too careful,
but that shared conservatism
has brought about in-
novative thought that has
helped us achieve our own
distinctive character that we
all value.

Now that we are on the

Congrats, trustees!

threshold of educational
planning in this distnct, I
hope we can use the same
open, “grass roots,” con-
sultative methods that have
proved to successful in the
past. Slower -- harder, but
more effective.

A massive effort will have
to be made now that we are
faced with external time and
budget constraints. We
must, in spite of that, as
parents, trustees, educators,
and as a society make that
effort in a way that our
children will not suffer. We
must educate our young so
they, in turn, can assume our
responsibilities in the future.

Take some pride in Canada

Dear Editor:

I am shattered! I watched
and read the news in total
disbelief the day we became
truly Canadian to see the
eastern provinces
celebrating the patriation of
our constitution while we in
the west sat in. aimost
stunned silence!

As far as I can ascertain
we had no public
celebrations taking place in
British Columbia at all.

This has finally brought
home, to me at least, that

perhaps westerners after all
do not consider themselves
Canadian. And it finally

lends credence to the
strength the W.C.C. are
claiming.

This was a momentous day
in Canadian history yet I get
the feeling it has been
deliberately played down by
the western media.

Part of our nationa! an-
them includes the words:

“We stand on guard for
thee”. For God's and
Canada’s sake all you

apathetic people out there.

reaffirm your commitment
to this great country,
Canada! And stand on guard
against those who would
destroy it.

There is nothing wrong
with being proud of being a
westerner but be a Canadian
first. And remember, you
cannot make changes from
without but only by working
within.
