PARK ROYAL
ANK HEIST
NETS CASH

A LONE bank robber held up the Park Royal branch of the
Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation Wednesday mor-
ning. Pretending to have a weapon, the thief made off with
an undetermined amount of cash. The robbery forced the
branch to close (right) while employees waited for the West
Vancouver Police investigation team to arrive (below). Police
dusted for prints (teft) at the stall where the robbery took
place, but haven’t released how much was stolen yet.

WEST VANCOUVER District has received a
counter-proposal from the Squamish Indian Band
concerning the future of Ambleside Park.

But details of that pro-
posal have yet to be released.

Representatives from the
band met with West Van-
couver Mayor Derrick
Humphreys, Ald. Alex
Brokenshire, and district
staff members Friday to
present their proposal for
use of the 26 acres of
Ambleside Park property,
returned to the Squamish
Band on December 5, 1983
as part of the band’s cut-off
land claims.

Agreement between the
federal and provincial gov-

ernments and the Squamish
Band over the total 115.29
acres of North Shore land
involved in the tand claims
was announced October 24,
1983.

Though he would not
release details of the band’s
proposal, Humphreys said
Wednesday: ‘‘We had a
constructive moecting. The
matter is under study and we
will get back to them with
West Vancouver’s decision

Dave Jacobs, chairman of
the Squamish Band council,
said the initia! proposal
presented to the band by
West Vancouver in March
asking for a five-year lease
of the Ambleside property
“was not acceptable to us.
We. have given them our
position and we are waiting
for their reaction."

Humphreys added that he
was disturbed by what had
become a long drawn out
process to settle the future of
the West Vancouver park,
“but at least we have some-
thing to work with now.”’

1984, and although the
Squamish Band has authori-
ty over it, Canada has not
yet set aside the cut-off lands
as an official Indian reserve.

In addition to the return
of the land, the Squamish
Band also received in the
1983 deal $900,000 from the
federal government for lands
that could not be returned
and $545,000 from the pro-
vincial government for cut-
off lands sold by the pro-
vince.

West Vancouver District
has spent in excess of $1 mil-
lion developing Ambleside
Park over the 32 years it has
Jeased the park.
