‘“‘WE BELIEVE there are things that can happen
on the North Shore that will prevent adolescent
suicide. One of the major purposes of the con-
ference is to end up with some sense of direction,
some sense of support and concrete strategies as to
what we can get going on the North Shore. We’ve
talked enough, let’s do something.’’

The speaker is Toby Snelgrove, a private
counsellor in North Vancouver and one of the
organizers of this week’s conference on adolescent
suicide and risk-taking behavior.

Society Director and former
alderman Bill Sorensen made
the presentation to council,
asking that the City and
District of North Vancouver
together contribute $80,000
towards a ‘‘no-frills’’ budget
of about $200,000 for 1984.
The remaining $120,000
would be raised by the mem-
bership.

Sorensen called the L a ~~ .-
$80,000 ‘‘peanuts’’ in rela- — :
ton to the total budget of the
City of North Vancouver
The amount would work out
to a $1 per capita increase in
taxes for residents.

“*Thas is not an ordinary
grant application,’’ Sorensen
argued, comparing it to an
application from the Recrea-
tion Commission which
caters to about 80 per cent of
the populauon. The other 20
per cent is the fastest growing
segment of the population
There are currently about
20,000 senior citizens in
North Vancouver, a number
which ts expecied to double
in 20 years
