A PRO-LIFE billboard at the
North Vancouver SeaBus terminal
has been vandalized for the third
time in less than a year.

By ELIZABETH COLLINGS
News Reporter

The latest act of vandalism,
which is estimated to have occur-
red late March 8, includes a row of
four neon orange coathangers
spray-painted at the bottom of the
billboard with corresponding
splashes of green and yellow paint
higher up.

The splashes of paint appear to
have been made by someone filling
light bulbs with paint and hurling
them against the board.

The damage represents the third
time the pro-life billboard, one of
14 billboards in the SeaBus sta-
tion’s bus-loading area, has been
singled out for vandalism, accord-
ing to Art Gagne, director of

North Shore Pro-Life which spon-
sors the billboard.

“They’re the only ones out of
the whole series of billboards so
it’s not just random violence. So
someone obviously has very low
tolerance of freedom of expres-
sion,’’ Gagne said.

The billboard shows an
eight-week-old fetus alongside the
message, Alive & Growing: heart
beats, brainwaves, fingerprints,
feels pain.

“We've stayed away from any
of those messages which were ag-
gressive or mean-spirited. We've
gone out of our way to choose in-
formative rather than contentious
ones,’’ Gagne said.

Rod Clark, chairman of the
Lions Gate Hospital board of
directors, said the incident was

“*regrettable."’

“I was hoping we were past this
sort of thing. I hope this is just an
isolated incident,’’ Clark added.

Although North Shore Pro-Life
did not report to the police the
earlier incidents, which occurred in
fate spring and November, this
time Gagne has asked the North
Vancouver RCMP to step up
surveillance of the billboard so the
incident doesn't recur.

“We took our lumps the first
couple of times, but obviously if
it’s going to keep going on ...,"’
Gagne said.

North Shore Pro-Life rents the
space from Seaboard Advertising
Co. for approximately $700 per
month. Gagne estimates it will cost
$100 for North Shore Pro-Life to
replace the sign.
