Bright spot on rainy Sunday

Dear Editor:

The Ambleside and Dundarave
Ratepayers Association and the
West Vancouver municipality are
to be highly commended for their
guided walk which was held on
Sunday, September 28.

The parks staff gave helpful
botanical information, and inter-
esting historical information was
given by the ratepayers associa-
tion.

The municipality placed atirac-
tive route markers, sturdy bridges
and pleasant footpaths throughout

I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE:

“West Vancouver is solely in the
People Business,” No need to
advertise. il seems our reputation
is enough. Visitors become
entranced with our mountainside,
decide to own a piece of the rock.
but then check our amenities and
services first. From letters | learn
we must have been doing many
things right in my past eight years
as Mayor. Now. I can tell them:

House construction is up $15.7
millions, first half of '8G over first
half, "85: a conservative estimate
is $45 millions by year's end.
Police. with 64 men this year (6!
in '78). despite population and
traffic growths, are holding their
own against rising statistics most
everywhere else. In‘85, although
property worth over $22.6
millions was fire-involved.
damage Was held to only
$841,000. In part due to new
systems of fire suppression
training, this was a 49 percent
reduction of the 84 statistic. The

the walk, and most importantly it
gave an opportunity for neighbors
fo meet One another.

Once again thanks to all for

niaking this bright spot on a rainy
Sunday,
