Input sought
on pet policy

GREATER VANCOUVER Housing Corp. (GVHC) tenants on
the North Shore and elsewhere around the Lower Mainland are
being asked to review regulations that will be included in its pro-

posed new pet policy.

The GVHC board recently recommended that, upon application
and approval, tenants would be allowed to keep two spayed or
neutered pets per unit. Under the policy Pit Eull terriers and rep-
tiles would be barred; birds and fish would be unregulated.

The board failed to reach a concensus on two recommendations
concerning whether pet size should be regulated and whether pets
should be limited to certain units, such as ground-floor suites.

Housing staff are drafting a proposed set of rules, regulations
and an application form that wil! be presented as a package to the
board at its next meeting in January.

Once the draft policy is approved by the board, it will be taken

to tenants for review and input.

The GVRD owns 45 projects with 3,156 rental units throughout
the Lower Mainland, including the North Shore.

Hydrogen bus wouldn’t pollute

From page 2

for B.C. Transit, it will be
another three years before the
technology could be more widely
applied to buses.

Earlier this month, Ballard
received a $1.13-million loan from
the federal Western Economic
Diversification Fund to help the
company further its development

and marketing of fuel-cell techno-
logy for utility application.
Meanwhile, Ballard Power
Systems’ sister company, Ballard
Battery Systems, also based in
North Vancouver, received
$16,085 in federal funding two
weeks ago to heip the company
upgrade its production of high-
energy, high-density lithium-
sulphur-dioxide batteries.

Youth concerns tackled

From poge 3
munity,’” he said.

Ten years ago, Stevenson was
a street worker in the Lower
Lonsdale area.

He said a youth centre,
operated through North Shore
Family Services and funded by
the Ministry of the Attorney

General ‘‘worked incredibly
well” for a year until funding
evaporated.

Said Stevenson, “My personal
belief is that we do not make
youth a priority. It’s positive
that this is becoming a municipal
issue.”

Megan Fullerton, a 15-year-
old Grade 10 student at Sentinel
Secondary School is a member
of the West Vancouver youth

advisory committee and the
newly-formed NSYC.
Fullerton believes both the

WVYAC and NSYC are ‘good
in their own ways,”” but she
said, “I can’t talk for other
people, but because I’ve been in
Youthspeak (the recent youth
forum), I saw it was a world

apart from municipal hall, We
got so many topics covered that
1 don’t think would have been
covered at municipal hall. It’s
obvious you're going to be more
comfortable with people of your
own age group thar with people
like (Ald.) Pat Boname who are
in municipal hall and aren’t ex-
actly the people you pour out
your guts to.”"

But said WVYAC chairman
Michael Mustard, ‘‘We're quite
interested in this council and
what they have to say because
they also represent youth just the
way we do. I don’t know if they
will have the kind of effect that
we're able to have because they
intend to exist separate of any of
the municipal governments
which probably means they
won't have that great an effect
on municipal affairs. However, !
think the idea is a good idea.”’

But said Fullerton, ‘‘We want
to have youth council repre-
sentatives attend (municipal
council mectings.) We could talk
to them about our viewpoints.”’
