Save park for the people

Dear Editor:

I wanted to share with you and
your readers a letter wilten to
North Vancouver District Mayor
Marilyn Baker by my mother. |
think it typifies the reaction of any
tourist who has visited Lyan Can-

The theme of my letter is ‘Save
Lynn Canyon Park’® as | write to
alert all North Shore canyon lovers
that the Lyna Creek corridor is
under review by the District of
North Vancouver for two subdivi-
sions, totalling just under 2,000
residential homes and a four-lane

Create a iegacy

Dear Editor:

Once upon a time several years
ago some very wise person or per-
sons made « fateful environmental
decision which in hindsight has
proven to be invaluable to the
world in general and the residents
of Greater Vancouver in par-
ticular, The dedication and ir-
revocable preservation of Stanley
Park ranks as one of the truly
brilliant examples of urban plan-
ning in receni history.

The present day politicians and
planners in the District of North
Vancouver are blessed with the
rare opportunity of playing a simi-
lar key role. The time is now to
demonstrate real leadership in the
current movement to establish a
permanent Lynn/Seymour Canyon
parkland from Rice Lake to the
harbor. The provision of such a
legacy for future generations in the
face of the existing development
mania of today will require both
patience and courage.

I urge all lovers of our incredibly
beautiful and unique wilderness
area to lend their unwavering sup-
port to this noble cause.

highway.

The area under discussion, Lynn
Canyon Park, has been assumed
by all who knew it, (0 be protected
from development. ft was always
considered to be a park of
magnificent grandeur and is always
included in tours of the beauty
spots of the North Shore.

To destroy this tranquil, natural
rainforest would be a terrible sin
against the environment, which
must be preserved for the cnjoy-
ment of this generation and future
generations.

Last week was Environment
Week in Canada and the message
coming over the media loud and

clear was “Be sparing with our
wilderness. Protect the trees.
Create more parks and green belts.
We are destroying the planct and
thus ou quality of life.”

$ believe the people of Van-
couver are ready to pay to protect
their environment. I believe they
are truly concerned for the future
of their children. This pristine
wilderness under threat must be
saved by the people for the people.
It is a concern for all Vancouver
residents, especially those of the
North Shore. It is not just a North
Vancouver District concern.
