SHOULD THE North
MVancouver-—_Recreation
Centre compete with
sporting goods stores?

That’s the question North
Vancouver City council had
to answer at a_ recent
meeting, and when the dust
settled;
council had decided 5-1 that
the Centre should be allowed
to sell such items as
swimming
noseplugs,
hockey sticks.

And if the draft bylaw
before council is finally
passed, then schools and
hospitals will also be allowed
to sell such things, because
they fall into the same
zoning category as the Rec
Centre.

Alderman Bill Sorenson
didn’t like the idea of the
Rec Centre selling sports
equipment “They'd
competing ‘with taxpayers,”
he said, “and ‘would have.an

Marcino pointed out that

and he said that he had
bought nose plugs to go
swimming at the Rec Centre
just a few weeks ago. The
new bylaw would only clarify
an existing situation, he said..

Frank ‘Morris,’ the City’s
director of development and
licensing service, said the
Rec Centre would only be
allowed to sell a certain
limited number of items —
those listed in the bylaw --
and no others.

Alderman Gary Payne
said the items on the list “go
hand in glove with the ac-
tivities. that curregtly take

Marcino said it would be
ludicruous to have to stop a
