North Vancouver City Council went against its own recommendation and on Monday night, decided not to hold a referendum on Sunday shopping in November. Council at its June 22 meeting had passed a resolution which asked North Vancouver Dhistnct and West Vancouver to to allow home , prepare a uniform Sunday and Holiday Shopping Bylaw to be applicabie to all three municipalities. “And that a referendum be recom- mended for the 1981 municipal elecuons.” However, according to Alderman Elko = Kroon, North Vancouver District and West Vancouver don't sec the need for such a bylaw in their communities. West Vancouver does not want to do anything about it because it wouldn't have any effect in their community.” Kroon said. Kroon also pointed out that West Vancouver Mayor Dernck Humphreys did support an amendment to the provincial Holiday Shopping Act winch would allow home improvement centres to open. Alderman Frank Marcino led the opposition {to the referendum, saying if would cost the City money to hold it, and would probably cost the City money to enforce any changes. “What I'm afraid of is Unat we will keep adding to schedule A (of the Sunday and Holiday Act). I can see these changes coming lo us in little bits and pieces.” Marcino said. Alderman Stella Jo Dean agreed, saying she was nol going to support something which was “piecemeal. Sunday shopping? Forget it! think it) as very discriminatory to have a bylaw just for home im- provement stores,” Dean said. But Kroon said holding a referendum was “reflecting a need in the community.” Mayor Jack Loucks supported the motion to hold a referendum, saying the majority of people he had talked to supported wide- open Sunday shopping. Council will still be sending a resolution to the Unmion of Bntush Columbia Municipalities asking that the Holiday Shopping Act be amended to allow home improvement centres lo remain open on Sundays Drivers face clampdown in W.
