District closes door on late shopping

THREE READINGS
were given to the con-
troversial Shops Clos-
ing Bylaw by North
Vancouver District
Council Monday,
despite Ald. Mary
Segal’s stand that the
amended document is a
‘‘compromise bylaw.”’

By JOANNE MacDONALD

The bylaw became an
issue recently when mer-
chants at Westlynn Mall re-
quested permission to hold a
Midnight Madness sale on
Friday, July 13, thus keeping
the stores open past the
regular 9 p.m. curfew.

Such a move would have
required the repeal of Bylaw
5318 which regulates the
closing of all retail
businesses in the District.
Under the bylaw, all stores
in the District must be clesed
by 6 p.m. on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Saturdays, and by 9 p.m. on
Thursdays and Fridays.

Council instead voted five

merchants from the bylaw
on the 2! business days be-
fore Christmas, and permit-
ting the 9 p.m. closing, of
stores on Wednesdays which
precede a statutory holiday
falling on a Thursday or
Friday.

The amendment was
designed to bring the District
into line with the other two
North Shore municipalities
but Ald. Murrary Dykeman
was quick to point out that
North Vancouver City
allows Christmas Shopping
hours from December !
through to December 23 in-
clusive.

Segal commented that in
addition to the bylaw failing
to allow the Midnight
Madness request by
Westlynn Mall merchants,
that the District still did not
possess the ‘‘hberal shopping
hours similar to the ones in
neighboring municipalities *’

She added the tack of
open shopping hours
