NORTH Vancouver
District Council stepped
up action against min-
ing near Lynn Head-
waters Park Monday
night.

By ROSS MEEK

Council again voted to
express its strong opposition
to any mining within the
park and to send a letter re-
questing the minister of
Lands Parks and Housing,
Tony Brummet, call a public
meeting on the subject.

On Mayor Marilyn
Baker’s advice, the council
also voted to strike a com-
mittee to coordinate the
lobbying effort. Ald. Mary
Segal and Murray Dykeman
were appointed to the com-
mittee.

The motions followed a
report from municipal man-
ager, Mel Palmer and Segal.

Palmer urged that ‘‘lobby-
ing on the political side
should be considered,’’
because the ‘‘minister

(Brummret) has not ruled out"

the possiblity of mining ac-
tivities in the area.””

TREE MARKING

Segal said burning, cutting
and marking of trees on
district land near the mining
claims: which Onsun
Development hopes to mine
have been reported by Lynn
Headwater advisory com-
mittee chairman and
Capilano College recreation
instructor Brian White.

Trees. along new park
trails have been spray
painted in what White calls
an ‘‘act of vandalism.”’

Onsun Developments and
Scope Developments, which
control Crown grant mining
claims on the northern
border of land presently be-
ing transferred from the
district to the Greater Van-
couver regional district for
wilderness park use, want an
access road through the
parkland so they can further
explore the possibility of

reopening the old zinc
mines. '
MINE POTENTIAL |

At. the last council
meeting, district engineer
John Bremner reported that
Onsun Developments’ re-
quest for permission to con-
struct an access road to the
mineral claim is awaiting
proof of the mine’s potential
and an assessment of the en-
vironmental impact of the
road.

But Onsun spokesman
Alex Billwiller says he has
received no such request
from Brummet’s office and
took the liberty of sending
the minister the results of a
recent airborne Beo- physical
to Victoria.

Billwiller admits to spray
painting trees at 400-foot in-.
tervals on district property,
but he says ‘'1 thought it was
no big deal — at least I
thought. it wasn’t.’’ He also
reiterated his belief that a
mine would be of great
economic benefit to the
economy.
