Social planner thanks NVD

Dear Editor:

I am leaving my position as
Social Planner at North Van-
couver District to take up the
role of Executive Director with
the Social Planning Council of
B.C., and [ would like to
thank all of the active citizens
who have worked so hard on
social planning initiatives in
North Vancouver over the last
three years.

I hope that my new position
will allow me to continue to
work with the North Shore
community and others
throughout the province on
social objectives and policy
which enhance the quality of
life for all sections of the pop-
ulation.

I would like to emphasize the
tremendous achievements of
the citizens and council at the

district in tackling social issues.

and placing social objectives
clearly on the municipal agen-
da. The efforts of Mayor
Dykeman, members of council
and members of the Advisory
Commission on Community
Services have provided impor-
tant leadership in social plan-
ning which is exemplary in the
Lower Mainland.

In addition, none of the
work done on social planning
in the fast three years would
have been possible without the
efforts of ordinary citizens who
contributed their creative
energy to devising strategies on
subjects such as affordable
housing, childcare, youth ser-
vices, and access fur the dis-
abled.

I believe (despite some out-
of-certext quotes in the press)
that we have really moved
ahead with dynamic social
policies which are cost effec-

tive, built by loval residents to
fit their community, based on
an open and participative ap-
proach to planning which con-
tributes to the health of civic
government as a democratic in-
stitution.

I hope that citizens will con-
tinue to press for this approach
to focal government, for the
realization of the social policies
which have been Jeveloped,
and for the greater account-
ability and responsiveness
which is needed from the
senior municipal bureaucracy.

To all those who have work-
ed so hard to make a real
partnership of the municipal-
community responsibility for
social planning, I wish you well
for the future.
