The cost is really pretty
high. I think there are a

Council asked to
distribute flyers

DON LUBBOCK’S request to
North Vancouver District to in-
clude his flyer in district water bills
opened a ‘‘watercan’’ of worms
Monday night.

Lubbock, an Ottawa resident, is
founder of Watercan, a non-profit
organization dedicated to pro-
viding clean water to some two
million people in the Third World
who go without.

Lubbock wants Canadian
municipalities to help by including
with the water bill a pamphlet on
Watercan and a request for a
donation to the organization.

Ald. Bill Rodgers expressed
concern that using council mailings
to distribute material not directly
connected with administration of
the district was a misuse of the

mailing list.

“It is an intrusion into the
privacy of our citizens,”’ he said.

Ald. Mary Segal pointed out
that council has in the past com-
mitted to a variety of world issues
such as the recent Mayor’s Famine
Relief Committee and found the
request ‘“‘entirely appropriate’ and
proposed that council refer the
matter of the cost of the leaflets to
the Advisory Committee on
Community Services.

Rodgers and Segal raised the
question of establishing a prece-
dent with the Watercan proposal.
Council voted to ask its staff to
present for council’s consideration
guidelines for what kind of mate-
rial should or might be included in
district mailings.
