OPEN. LETTER TO WEST
VANCOUVER COUNCIL:
* | am writing in support of the
proposed addition to Collingwood
School. y

My husband and I “have! been
Collingwood School
since the doors opened and we are
very proud of the achievements of
both the parents. and the students
in the time the school has been in
operation.

Contrary to’ some: beliefs, the

students who, spoke up at- ‘the!
-municipal council public: hearing’
‘on Monday, March 7 were not
asked to speak, but it, was their

_ wish to express their deep ‘feclings ”

for their school, and many more
are cager to write or communicate

to you their desire to:see the addi-.
“tion accepted. This is a direct ex-.

ample of the: amazing - pride’ the
children: have in their,.school.

they are an-examplé'of the” ruture, ’
members of our. community, we :

should be delighted.
The school
many ‘sound principles, and ;'we

have always striven to’ conduct our.

affairs with consideration“to our
fellow man. It is deeply distressing

to us that we have caused anxiety ©.

to’ ‘our, neighbors” regarding our
proposed addition, and every. ef-
fort has’been made, and is pres-

ently being made to give them as .

of interest, there are other schools
in West Vancouver with similar, if ,
not, worse traffic situations as
ours).

1 would like to emphasize the
fact. that since Collingwood has -
operating in Glenmore!
School, not only have the buildings,

and grounds been greatly improv-:-
