~ Sunday, October 25, 1987 - North Shore News

PREMIER BILL Vander Zalm announced last week that
the provincial government is to step in and come to the
rescue of the financially ailing B.C. Lions. Vander Zatm
was not specific on how the government would aid the
Lions, but one way this could be done would be to
forgive the rent on the government-owned B.C. Place

Stadium. Price- ~iags. of this recent move could run from
$2 million to $2'%2 million, depending on the television
revenues and gate receipts for remaining games. Earlier,
the Lions board tried to impose pay cuts on players, who
fought the move. Inquiring Reporter asks people if the
government should help.
