LYNN VALLEY PARKING

New post office

OPEN LETTER TO CHUCK
COOK, MP, NORTH VAN-
COUVER-BURNABY

I am writing to bring to your at-
tention a problem that has occur-
red in Lynn Valley with the new
location of the post office.

I have been a resident of this
area for the past 27 years. During
most of this time the post office
has been situated in the drug store
within the Lynn Valley Shopping
Centre.

This location had some very
positive benefits to the users of the
facilities, such as ample parking,
and once the post office patrons
have arrived at the shopping centre
they were able to conduct other
business without going outside to
another location.

All this has now changed. The
post office is now located in the
7-11 store at the junction of Lynn
Valley Road and Mountain High-
way. The quarters are cramped,
particularly for the users of the

post office facilities and are always
congested even in non-rush hour
periods, What it will be like at
Christmas boggles the mind.
Parking is not ample for the
amount of traffic that the post of-
fice generates without taking into
consideration the other risers of the
facilities — customers of the 7-11
store and the gasoline pumps.
When the fall and = winter
weather arrives in Lynn Valley,
users of the post office facilities,
when using a car, will have to ne-
gotiate the difficulty of access to
the store, basically around a one-
way road system. If they are
elderly or infirm and without
transportation, as many of the
users in this area are, it will be
necessary for them to walk a
distance of some quarter mile in
each direction from the present
shopping centre to the 7-11 store to
buy stamps and conduct other
business with the post office only.
This will make the shopping ex-

Experience apartheid
in our own backyard

Dear Editor:

As an environmentalist | have
experienced our Native peoples’
support for the preservation of
endangered wilderness in many
issues in this province.

Recent media coverage of
amateur anglers angry about the
Squamish Band catch of salmon in
the Capilano motivated me to
write to you.

I recently enjoyed watching the
Indian War Canoe races at
Ambleside, This coincided with a
popular salmon barbecue put on
by the band at Waterfront Park,
Lonsdale Quay. As one of the few
times during the year when
members of our Native
brotherhood are invited to partake
in a public social event one could
presume that their recent fishing
measures were to meet the needs of
this event.

As our Native peoples are ex-
cluded from many levels of society
through our own nar-
rowmindedness and their strict
spirituality, cultural and family
