A North Vancouver City
alderman is concerned about
a possible confrontation
between the Squamish In-
dian Band and the City over
the Band's refusal to stop fill-
ing in the mouth of Mosquito
Creek.

Alderman Bill Sorenson
expressed his concern at
Monday's council meeting,
following a report from the
City’s engineer on the nar-
rowing and diversion of the
creek by the band.

In the past few years, fill-
ing has been carried out by
the band on its property ad-
jacent to Mosquito Creek
and the most recent filling
occurred about six weeks
ago, City Engineer, Tom
Scott, told council.

The filling is restricting
the water flow at the mouth
of the creek, and diverting it
towards the City’s bulkhead
at the seawall, Scott charg-
ed.

The interference with the
flow of the creek could
result in flooding at the foot
of: Bewicke Avenue and
damage to City and public
property, according to
Scott.

Scott added he has written
to advise the band of the
possible consequences of
restricting the flow of Mos-
quito Creek.

But Mayor Jack Loucks
pointed out that the band
could ignore a letter and he
told council a phone call
would be more effective.

Council should approach
the government agencies in
charge of the lands, Alder-
man Gordon Cross sug-
gested, but Loucks pointed
out the federal authorities
have ignored letters from the
City advising of the situa-
tion.

And letters have been sent
since June, 1978, Alderman

Stella Jo Dean told council.

“We should not have let the
situation go as far as it has,
and we are at the point of no
return now,” she added.

Scott advised council to
direct the City solicitor to
serve the band with formal
notice holding the band
responsible for any damage
to City or public property
caused by the filling in.

Council should follow all
the suggestions, Loucks told
the meeting, and contact the
City solicitor, the band and
the federal agencies involv-
ed.

UNAWARE

But Sorensen argued that
the people responsible for
the filing in of the creek
may not be aware of coun-
cil’s concern and should be
given an opportunity to res-
pond to Scott’s letter before
further action is taken.

Council doesn’t want a
confrontation with the band,
Alderman Garry Payne
agreed, but he added that

waterfront access and the
possibility of flooding in the
area makes the situation
critical.

Council’s decision to ad-
vise the agencies involved of
their responsibility to the Ci-
ty, “sounds strong on record,
but doesn’t mean a confron-
tation,” Loucks told the
meeting.

Council finally voted to re-
quest federal, provincial and
harbour agencies involved to
restore the creek to its
original state as well as ad-
vising the band of its respon-
sibihty for any damage that
might result from the filling
at the creek mouth.
