Dogs seeking “sanctuary”
in’ GVRD. parks if North
Vancouver are in for a Shock.

oo. ‘District Council, last Mon-.
“day ‘night, approved ©
- ‘request ‘by. the provincial
_ S.P.C.A., giving them per-
mission to Patrol the parks. 7

in a letter to the council,
Jack Homes, Secretary Man--
ager for the S.P.C.A., said.
that a number of dogs,
generaliy. owned by property.
owners adjacent to the parks,
_ used the park as a-sanctuary’ .
from. the Animal. Control:

Officers. 7

- Residents using the , parks
have’ ‘been objecting to -the .
dogs running at large. in
parks near Cleveland Dam,
the Capilanc Regional Perk
and Belcarta Park, foro. |

Agreeing with the propo-
sai, Alderman Gordon: Rose -
said that a number of. years ©
ago packs of dogs in one park -
had chased down and killed a
deer. For this reason and.
other complaints, the motion —
tg allow the Animal Control
agency to patrol was unap-
imously approved.

Lonsdale to two 44-foot lots
met with a barrage of
opposition from focal resi-
dents. '

=

Tn front of a packed public
gallery, six persons spoke
against the request. Two of
the spokesmen presented
petitions against the rezon-
ing—consisting of a total of.
103 names.

The intent of the applica- :

tion for the property on the.
east side of Upper Lonsdale
would be to create two
separate 44-foot lots from the
existing 88-foot lot in the

‘municipality to court a third

time if the
passed.
Alderman Tom Marshall,
himself a lawyer, ‘said
Monday the latest amend-
ment was not directed at the
Lees but was merely a
tidying up of the origins!

amendment

Dear Editor:,

Richmond, B.C. will be
celebrating its Centennial in
1979 and we are hoping to
locate former residents, or
their relatives who may have

information (verbal, written

or photographic) about
- events in our first century.
We do not want irreplaceable
material sent to us at this
point, but may wish to
duplicate. photos or docu-
ments later. Included in
Richmond are the areas of

Brighouse, Burkeville,
-Eburne, Lulu Island, Sea

Island and Steveston.
