City waits THE DECISION on whether to initiate an anti-smoking bylaw in public places in North Vancouver City was deferred by council Monday night. Ald. Ralph Hall initiated the deferral, saying the Unicon of B.C. Municipalities has had no bylaw of this type tested in court to date, but that a court case on the issue was coming up. Said Hall: “I’m of two minds. I don’t smoke and I don't appreciate people smoking when I'm eating, but it’s a question of en- forcement. Social pressure is better than city bylaws. The bylaw is just a piece of paper. Merchants aren't go- ing to enforce it, because their customers come first. It’s pretty well useless.’ Ald. Stella Jo Dean mov- ed that staff bring forward an anti-smoking bylaw in public places, but council agreed to defer the recom- mendation, Church on beach WEST VANCOUVER chur- ches are celebrating com- munity with an open service at Ambleside Beach June 2.
