WV VOTING

Regulation of shopping necessary

Dear Editor:

We strongly endorse the
necessity of a ‘‘YES’’ vote
regarding Sunday shopping
at the November 16 referen-
dum to permit Park Royal
merchants to serve their cus-
tomers in the same manner
as in the rest of Greater
Vancouver. Only when the
artificial barrier regarding
hours is removed, will all
West Vancouver retailers be
able to compete on an even
basis.

We have discussed the
matter of opening hours
with many storeowners and
managers as well as the

Merchants Association, and
have observed other Centres
and confirm that the five
hours between noon and 5
p.m. would appear most ap-
propriate for Park Royal
stores and their customers at
this time; thus this period
will represent our Sunday
schedule.

Uniformity of hours is the
traditional standard practice
in shopping centres since
they first appeared in the
1950s. The strength of a
shopping centre for all the
stores is the assurance that it
will be open as a group for
its customers during posted

hours. Stores with closed
neighbors are operating at a
great disadvantage. This
joining together as a group
in a shopping centre and ac-
ting in concert together for
the benefit of the group is
the real reason for the ex-
istence of a shopping centre
and, therefore, the reason
for joining a shopping cen-
tre.

If individual cases of
hardship or special cir-
cumstances relative to a

store appear the manage-
ment of Park Royal will, as
in the past, be available to

Dear Editor:
In reference to your
editorial on Wednesday,

November 6, re. my affilia-

Electors Association (CEA),
I would like to set the record
straight regarding my affilia-

First I am not running on
any slate as implied. Second-

polls. On each of these occa-
sions, I have been endorsed
and supported by a variety
of groups, organizations,
merchants and individuals of
varying beliefs and
backgrounds and 1 hope this
trend continues.

This kind of broad sup-
port clearly demonstrates to
me that I am not aligned to
any one segment of the
community. I have always

In conclusion, I will con-

one association, and that
one is the ‘‘John Braithwaite
