Last December, Stephen San- dar, 55, announced the creation of a new charity called the Con- sciousness International Founda- tion (CIF) aimed at helping people in Third World countries. Earlier this year Sandar, who was the president of Hollyburn Properties Ltd., signed over to CIF the titles of 23 apartment buildings he owned worth an estimated $170 million. The rents from those buildings will go to fund the charity. After mortgages, the value of the pro- perties comes to about $110 mil- lion. It is estimated the charity will receive about $1 million a year from Sandar’s largesse. By SUR RATTAN News Reporter On July 21, Sandar, a Sikh who came to Canada from India in 1960, left co meet with politicians and the media in London and New Delhi. He also recently paid a visit to Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, the place he called home when he first arrived in Canada from India. Sandar said the municipal council in Bridgewater has offered to give him a large piece of land for free if he builds an interna- tional orphanage on the site. “We're looking at that very seriously,’’ Sandar told the News. He added that the charity is now ‘getting off the ground”’ and that CIF is ‘‘very busy spreading the message about the concern and care’ for people in Third World countries. “Jo am ai businessman and If have to make sure the money goes to the grassroots people,”’ Sandar said. Sandar, who made his fortune in real estate and has received world-wide media attention on his decision to hand over to charity his real estate empire, said he is no longer involved in real estate or the business world. ‘*] was making over $100 mil- lion a year im real estate. In the last seven montis I’ve been doing nothing except to pul my heart and sou! into this charity,’ said Sandar. ‘“‘!'m not doing any real estate at all.°” Sandar said offers of support THE FOLLOWING are the scheduled road closures and detours for the coming week in North Vancouver District and Ci- ty, West Vancouver District and along area highways.

He added that while a lot of support has been coming from North Vancouver, very little is coming from West Vancouver. “f've had half a dozen calls from wealthy people in Canada and the United States who want to contribute. J} had one man who called up after reading a story about us in the North Shore News who wanted to join up,"’ said Sandar. ‘‘He lives in North Van- couver and said ‘listen, I'm rich and { want to participate’. | did some checking and it turns out he's a multi-millionaire.”’ “In West Vancouver the rich tend to be suspicious of things,”’ said Sandar. ‘‘The wealthy in West Vancouver are not coming forward. But we’ve had a lot of response from North Vancouver.”” STEPHEN SANDAR...offers of support from all over the worid. BC Rail blockade ends BC RAIL has yet to determine the extent of its losses resulting from the two-day blockade by the Seton Indian Band of the railway’s main line 17 miles south of Lillooet. The band removed its blockade late Thursday after Premier Bill Vander Zalm flew to the site and negatiated an end to the protest by promising the Indians that he would take their concerns on aboriginal title back to cabinet. During the time the track was blocked North Vancouver-based BC Rail was forced to reroute its freight trains over CN lines. which caused delivery delays to its freight customers. Passenger rail service was also affected. “We certainly lost some money, but it’s impossible to say how much until the bills start to come in,’ BC Rail spokesman Barrie Wall said Friday. ‘‘We’ve had to direct traffic over CN rail lines and that costs money. Our main business is freight and that’s where our bread and butter is.’' BC Rail’s operations were scheduled to be back to normal by last night. YOU DESERVE TO MAKE MORE MONEY!
