Career
cheers

Dear Editor:
1 want to thank the
North Shore News for its
excellent Career
Education supplement.
The support from your
paper, along with that
from Human Resource
Development Canada,
Capilano College and the
Chamber of Commerce,
helped make the
Career/College open
house at Capilano College
a success.
Approximately 1,000
students from North and
West Vancouver, Howe
Sound and the Sunshine
Coast came to the event.
As a result they now
have a better awareness of
the education and career
opportunities available to
ther after graduation.

Constable defended

Dear Editor:

Let's be fair to our peace
officers. These days it seems
that too many people want to
point a finger at them.

I attended a Block Watch
information meeting conduct-
ed by Constable Glen Mason. I
found him to be very polite,
informative, and friendly and
nothing he said or did in any
way made me feel threatened
or “traumatized.”

On the contrary, 1 felt
relieved to hear that this pro-
gram, supported by our police
department, was in place for

our protection.

Not having attended the
meeting which led to the com-
plaint against Const. Mason, |
cannot comment on it, but
there must be many like me in
West Vancouver who have lis-
tened to the constable, and
have appreciated his efforts.
Perhaps it is time they spoke
up in his defence?

I am sincerely sorry the
lady involved was so fright-
ened by the sight of a gun, but
is that an accepted reason to
damage a young man's career?

Not in my book.

Open police hearings

Dear Editor:

Re: Anna Marie
D’Angelo’s April 17 News
report regarding the suspended
West Vancouver Police consta-
ble. West Vancouver Police
Chief Hal Jenkins appears
confused bout the role of hon-
est, law-abiding policing in the
community. He is quoted as
saying, “I don’t know where
you are getting your informa-
tion on the public (hearing).”

Whilst he is not alone in
concealing matters from the

public, it would be useful for - %

the public and Mr. Jenkins to
read S69 of the Police Act
(SBC Chapter 53). Quote:
“S69 (1) Subject to subsection
(2), every meeting and hearing
of the commission, a board or
a committee shall be open to
the public.” S69 (2) contains
provisions that under severe
conditions, portions may be
held “in camera,” if the
Minister is informed in full,
