TEACHERS in North
Vancouver will
receive 17 per cent
pay increases and im-
proved fringe
benefits, in an agree-

comes into effect
January 1.

Both teachers and school

board negotiators appear

happy with the settlement

which received overwhelm-

ratification vote by members

of the North Vancouver

Teachers’ Association.

(NVTA)

extended

corrosion prevention work
at North Vancouver's
Seaboard and Neptune
Terminals, Port of Van-
couver, has been awarded to

to 30 per cent of the metal in
some areas of the structures.
