this: local government is responsible for decisions re-
garding basement suites or mega-houses, cutting down
trees, allowing truck routes through neighborhoods, baa-
ning back yard burning, scheduling garbage pickup, pro-
viding golf courses, recreation and youth facilities, con-
serving green spaces, averting teachers’ strikes, building
new schools, providing quality education, and so on ...
in other words, issues that affect everyone. Important or
not, only you can decide. Hopefully, more than one in
three will think so next Saturday!

“X’? MARKS ihe spot. And Nov. 20 marks the second
time in less than a month that North and West Van-
cowverites head to the polling stations. Or does it? While
fast menth’s federal election had a voter turnout of ap-
proximately 70%, North Shore municipal elections have
typically attracted Jess than 30% of voters. Presently
there are 79 candidates running for 32 positions on the
three North Shore councils and two school boards. For
those who consider civic politics as having minor impor-
tance compared to federal or provincial politics, consider

Is the municipal election as important as the federal election?

INQUIRING REPORTER

Mr. Crawford

West Vancouver

Yes, every election is im-
portant. It has to be,
otherwise anarchy would
prevail, wouldn't it?
Civic politics is not a
party politics, so it hasn't
the same interest, but it’s
certainly important,

‘Dino Minichieilo

West Vancouver

I think the federal elec
tion is more important
because it’s more
publicized.. Im unin-
formed about local gov-
ernment because (the
issues aren’t us big. But
I'll probably vote.

Brad Hall

West Vancouver

[| don’t believe federally
or municipally that
there’s anybody worth
voting for, so I’m not
going to vote. I’m tired
of politicians going back
on their word, ! don’t
want to be a part of it.

Rolf Beltz

North Vancouver

What municipal clection?
I'm planning on voting in
the federal election next
weekend.

Lori Johaston

Norsh Vancouver

Sure it’s just ‘as impor-
tant because municipal
government is closer to
home. | plan to vote in
this election.
