WEST VANCOUVER resident John Fawell, shown with his dog, Sammy, was upset to find that
vandals had damaged a Hay Park bench last month which he had donated to the municipality
on behalf of his deceased dog, Benjy. The bench's plaque was later found and park officials

placed the bench in a different, less vulnerable, spot in the park.

needed to find better ways to publi-
cize meetings, especially those
which feature in-depth and detailed
information on educational pro-
grants and trends.

Trustee Jean Ferguson called the
group's get-togethers “very infor-
mative” and mentioned the school
board doesn’t usually attract “a lot
of people unless there’s some con-
troversy involved such as the issues
of condom machines in schools or
the students’ smoking.”

Trustee Clive Bird said he
“appreciated the additional input"
the board received from the repre-
sentatives and added that parents
and concerned residents might not
be aware that the education meeting
is open to the general public.

would like to see more students
doing presentations and more
groups of delegations appearing
before us.” Bird said.

“Lurge the board to continue
with the committee and maybe do a
better job with advertising it” he
said,

Trustee Barbara Howard agreed
with her counterparts about a “con-
cem with a small audience” as the
committee worked hard to prepare
presentations which weren't
“reaching enough people.”

fdeas regarding how to reach
more parents, staff and students
focused on putting meeting infor-
mation in district news letters, let-
ters to the editor in the local news-
paper, advertising and using word
of mouth by the representatives at
their association meetings.
