Prepared by a joint task force of the North Van Recreation Commission and North Van School District, the report promises an expansion of recreation facilities to individual neighborhoods through more intensive use of local schools on evenings, weekends and holidays. The 10-member task force, chaired by well- known community leader Derek Inman, was set up last April on the initiative of the Rec Commission chairman, North Van _ District Alderman Jim Ball. Its report recognizes that the public already makes considerable use of school premises. But it points the way to significantly greater use through improved planning and coordination between the school distnct and the rec commission. While school facilities are now utilized fairlyfully by the public on week-nights, the report suggests there is a lot of slack still to be taken up on weekends and during holiday periods. The report also examines the practical problems of such expansion — including the need to provide adequate supervision of the premises and additional cleaning services. It concludes that “while there would be some cost involved... it would be modest in comparison with the additional] public service which it would = make possible”. The report goes on to recommend a more efficient method of centralized scheduling for all the many public activities held in the district’s schools. And it suggests a single channel of information to the public on all school recreational Help for gardeners The next meeting of the West Vancouver Garden Club will be held Monday.
