hall proposals and that he’s
just about ready to give up.
Campbell says the location
is totally unsuitable for a fire
training centre because of its
proximity to the school and
neighboring homes, some of
which are still being built.
His objections are to the

generated.

But even more than that,
he says neighbors object to
the “spot rezoning” of the
District council in what he
describes as another of many
examples of the council's
“confrontation politics”.

As far as he’s concerned,
the proposal is in the same
bag as the Seylynn Park
firehall and _  District’s
alternative plan for a new
firehall which involves
expropriating land from the
Noble family to within a few
feet of their house at 1521
Hunter Street.

COMMUNITY INPUT

“Why do they insist on
coming up with these
schemes without any input
from the community,”
Campbell asks. “All they do
is give us one night to change
their minds for them.”

He also objects to District
only publicizing details of
the fire training centre
proposal five days prior to
the public meeting.

“There is no reason why
we couldn't have been given
more time,” he fumes. “Not
a year goes by when they
don’t try to take part of
Bridgeman Park or Seylynn
Park because they want to
do something with it. I can’t
remember a year when we
have not had to go out and
mobilize people and knock

fore ‘confrontation

on every door because there
is another issue.”

He says of the latest issue:
“It is another example of
what Mayor Bell
euphemistically calls ‘spot
rezoning’. I think it is a lack
of response to the com-
munity concerned. I have
seen way too much of
confrontation politics.”

Campbell says both
District and the fire
department plays on the fact
that firefighters are an
essential community service
and have a popular profile.

“My father and uncle and
two of my cousins are
firemen and I think firemen
are terrific,” he adds. “But
when it comes to a firemen’s
training centre a block and a
half from my daughter's
school and so near a
residential area it's just too
much.”

Fire chief MacDonald
refutes Campbell's claim that
noise from the department's
centre at Mount Seymour
Parkway was so much that it
exceeded the District
bylaws.

In fact, he maintains that
noise readings showed that
the- noise generated is less
than can be heard there from
traffic on the Upper Levels
highway.

NOT SURPRISED

He says of the objections:
“Anything we want to do is
unacceptable, so it really
doesn’t surprise me.”

an | find it very
discouraging. You
sometimes wonder if it's
worth all the trouble of
reviewing sites and alter-
natives.”

“It just destroys your own
initiative. I have given up.”

Asked whether he will not
try to convince residents of
the validity of the training

centre. in its planned
location, MacDonald says:
“I am going to the public
meeting on Thursday and I
will probably give up there.
I'm getting fed up. It just
gets you down when you
work so many years and
people are continually
against whatever you do.

“I'm going to present to
the public the centre and the
fact that we need one and
that is it. I don’t need to
stand up and argue with
anyone about their property
and complaints.”

The public hearing will be
held in Lynnmour school
gymnasium and starts at 7:30
