900k caters

A RESOURCE directory for North Shore senior citizens

will be available in June.

The publishers’ sales repre-
sentative Megan Halstrom said the
directory will be provided free to
all seniors, and it will be updated
and published annually.

“It really is a community
resource project,’’ said Halstrom.

“The publishers were knowl
edgeable that the North Shore has
a high percentage of seniors,
especially in West Vancouver.
Secondly, there is a high com-
munity identity on the North Shore
and because of that our resource
directory truly fulfils many of the
needs of seniors."’

Halstroin said more than 50 per
cent of the space is provided free
of charge to non-profit community
organizations and other groups of
special interest to seniors.

Advertisements from local
businesses make up the rest of the
book.

The publishers are Al and Mary
Bishoff of Surrey, who first
published a directory in their
community last year.

Both the Bishoffs and their two

sales representatives are over the
age of 50.

“We're the over the hill but not
down yet crowd,’ said Halstrom.

“Who would better know what
the needs of seniors are?”’

The resources for seniors
covered in the directory will in-
clude the folowing: North Shore
Chambers of Commerce, North
Shore Recreation Commissions,
Capilano Community Service,
North Shore Home Support,
North Shore Information and
Volunteer Centre, North Shore
Neighborhood House, North
Shore Volunteers for Residents in
Care Facilities, Senior Citizens
North Vancouver Memorial
Community Centre, Silver Harbor
Centre, North Shore Social Plann-
ing Commissions, United Way,
Seycove Information Centre,
Seniors Activity Centre and all

The directory will be available at
the above organizations and at the
loca! businesses that will be adver-
tised in the directory.
