KEVIN NEMETHY and Corrie Carlile hold the physical fitness banner awarded to Canyon Heights Elementary School for the school's physical education program. School honored for fit activity FITNESS HAS a new face at Can- yon Heights Elementary School in North Vancouver. The local school was one of 69 across Canada honored with a QDPE (quality, daily, physical education) Award by the Canadian Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (CAHPER). ‘We believe that life- long enjoyment of active living begins in childhood,’’ said CAHPER’s Dorothy Jakovina. ‘*We salute those schools, parents and communities who have gone the extra mile to make sure that their children have daily physical education programs that are well- planned, balanced and fun.” Nadine Bisset, vice-principal at Canyon Heights, says the award was earned due to the ‘‘calibre of the program and the dedication of the teachers.”’ The school’s physicial education program includes children through kindergarten to Grade 7, and in- volves them in dance, gymnastics, games and play. “We have a full participation rate — boys and girls,’’ Bisset noted proudly. ‘'We don’t cut any kids on the team — everybody plays.” Bisset says that the program helps produce well-rounded children because it emphasizes the social as well as skill-building ele- ments of sports and encourages everyone to become comfortable in a variety of different fitness activi- ties — from dance to team sports.

The initial discussion with your lawyer should involve the fees to be charged for his services. The contingent fee contract is perfectly tailored to personal injury damage claims since it provides that your lawyer is paid only if and when you have recovered damages in your case and then only as a percentage of the amount actually recovered. Unlike an hourly rate fee, if there is no recovery of damages under a contingent fee agreement, the lawyer receives nothing for his services. On the other hand, the lawyer may receive a great deal, if the recovery is substantial. The percentage fee charged obviously will vary from lawyer to lawyer and there is no “fixed amount” as to what a lawyer can or should charge. Each agreement is a matter of negotia- tion between you and your own counsel. A rough rule of thumb, however, would be a fee charge of 25% of the damage amount if the case is settled before Trial, and 30% should a Trial be necessary. Anyone being charged percentage fees greatly in ex- cess of those amounts ought to seriously reconsider their fee agreement. Contingent fees, like other lawyer's fees, may be review- ed by a Registrar of the Court to determine whether the agree- ment is fair and reasonable, and the Registrar has power, in appropriate cases, to modify or cancel a contract if he deems it unfair at the time it was entered into.
