couver, .

The North Vancouver car, which

is now in operation with its new
name, will have two interior
display cards with maps and in-

area,

“It gives an opportunity for
areas to tell what is going on in the
community,’’ McCarthy explained.

North Vancouver District Mayor
Marilyn Baker said she was pleased
with the naming, and added that

LAWYERS from) throughout
British Columbia are responding to
the Canadian Bar Association’s
request to provide legal assistance
to low-income residents in the
areas of civil and administrative
law.

Vancouver lawyer Georges
Goyer, speaking to a recent
meeting of the branch’s provincial
council, said about 20 per cent of
the eligible practising lawyers in
the province have agreed to accept
at least one case referral per year
ona reduced or no-fee basis since
the program was announced ‘\-o
months ago.

“The response io this voluntary
program to date has been ex-
cellent,”’ said Gover, chairman of
a wuiiiliive MoiiiUTIg Hie special
legal assistance scheme.

“We have had positive returns
from approximately 900 practising
lawyers, including four large law
firms that have agreed to accept
one legal assistance referral per
year for every lawyer in the firm."’

The Legal Services Society has
begun making cuse referrals under
the program, introduced as a
short-term emergency measure to
provide legal assistance to low-
income British Columbians in civil
and administrative law.

being provided on a reduced or
no-fee basis in criminal and family
law cases.

Lawyers were asked to accept a
minimum of one ‘‘pro-bono’’
referral per year in cases where it
appears that the person's liberty,
livelihood, health, safety,
sustenance or shelter is threatened.

The program is an interim
measure introduced as a result of

named after the area,’’ Loucks
said.

“Our turn has come,’’ he said,
in reference to the naming of cars
after various other municipalities.

City Ald. Allan Blair was sup-
portive of the project: ‘It involves
us in the development of rapid
transit and it certainly does a great
deal for tourism,”’ he said.

West Vancouver Mayor Derrick
Humphreys was also pleased with
the naming of Spirit of West Van-
couver,

‘*What is good for Greater Van-
couver is good for West Van-
couver, because the captains and
vice-captains of industry live
here,”’ he said, when asked if he
thought the naming would benefit
the community.
