Show support for
community schools

Dear Editor:

North Vancouver Community
Schools actively work to foster the
principles of community eduation.

Community education is a pro-
cess that extends beyond the tradi-
tional concept of teaching children
to that of concerning itself with
everything that affects the well-
being of all citizens within a
neighborhood.

Through community schools
each community can determine its
own needs and develop its own
Programs accordingly. These pro-
grams might include daycare/
out-of-school care; lunch pro-
grams; senior citizen, family
drop-ins; summer programs;
native liaison; youth outreach ser-
vices and programs; and
neighborhood access to educa-
tional, social, cultural and recre-
ational programs and facilities.
Other functions of. a community
school include interagency co-
ordination; job creation and re-
entry programs; and volunteering
and leadership development and
support.

Community schools welcome
and encourage community resi-
dents, youth and parents as part-
ners in education and engender a
sense of responsibility for the
quality of life within your
neighborhood.

The North Vancouver School
Board has formed a staff commit-
tee with representation from the
District ‘of North Vancouver and
the Recreation Commission. This

_ committee has been charged to
review the issue of community
school services and funding.

Funding for North Vancouver
Community Schools ends June
1992,

At that time the onus to find
alternative funding for community
school services will be placed on

Solutions
to seawall
congestion

Dear Editer:

On fine days, crowds of people
from West Vancouver (and other
municipalities) flock to the West
Vancouver seawall and cause
severe congestion.

It is time West Vancouver
Counci! took action. The follow-
ing are some suggestions for draf-
ting a new. bylaw and regulations.
1) A white line should be painted

down the centre of the
seawalk.

2} No more than two people
should be allowed to walk
side by side.

3) Minimum speed limit of five
km/h.

4) No stopping to talk except in
designated areas.

5) There should be a charge of

$i ($5 for non-West Van
residents) for each seawall
visit. The money is to be put
into a special fund and used
to double deck the seawalk.
On fine days two truncheon-
armed special constables
should patrol the seawalk
to hand out tickets for
such infractions as walking
too sfowly, stopping to
talk, crossing the white line,
etc. Money collected to go in-
to the double-decking fund.
On wet days one constable is
all thai is needed.

Let’s have some action to deal
with this growing seawalk conges-
tion probiem.

the shoulders of- the community
and parents. This is not a fair and
viable solution.

Concerned parents of communi-
ty schools encourage the school
board to examine the mission
statement outlined in the School
Act emphasizing community liai-
son and cooperation.

By working together toward a
positive funding solution § the
school board would be
demonstrating the spirit and tone
of that mission statement.

We are distressed over the
potential loss we are facing. The
school, as a focal point of
enrichment and life-long learning,
is a community resource to be
strengthened and not eliminated.

Please join us by expressing to
North Vancouver’s school board
your support for community
school services.

Great job WV!

Dear Editor:

I would like to thank the
Ambleside merchants and West
Vancouver municipality for the
fantastic job of decorating this
year. I’ve been in Canada for
seven years and it’s the best
I’ve ever seen it.

I was driving to choir prac-
tice at St. Francis in the Weod
last month, and the meaning
and spirit of Christmas really
came to me with all that visual
beauty.
