Businesses thanked for support |

Dear Editor:

The North Shore Volunteers for Seniors would like
to compliment our focal merchants for their support
in our presentation of a workshop recently held in our
office.

Our assuciation registered 20 students from local
high schools to work with seniors in West Van Care
Centre, Inglewood Hospital and Kiwanis Lynn Manor
respectively. We have been developing an alternative
to the candy striper programs which focuses on the
smaller community care facilities instead of the maior
hospitals.

The recent Saturday workshop covered facts and
fallacies of aging, biological age changes, wheelchair
safetv and cammnunication skills.

The merchants’ support involved providing lunch,
free of charge, for those involved.

Capers’ contribution was outstanding: they provid-
ed us with a generous assortment of cold, sliced
meats, croissants and platters of fresh fruit. Stongs
provided the beverages and Dundarave Bakery gave us
dessert treats.

A real feeling of community involvement was felt
with the coordinating of this day’s activities. We are
ever so grateful for the unselfish contribution of our
neighborhood businesses.

Dear Editor:

With reference to the report in
the News, Sept. 28, on seniors’
housing in West Vancouver.

It was encouraging to read that
at least one member of West Van-
couver Council recognizes the fact
that we desperately need seniors’
housing. It has seemed to me in the

been more interested in preserving
the history of West Vancouver,
restoring old buildings and beauti-
fying an area that is already
Geautiful, than worrying about the
aging population.

There have been attempts by
concerned groups to build practical
housing to meet the needs of

who wish to continue to live in
West Vancouver. Council’s idea
appears that these good citizens
should be relocated. They spoil the
view in this ‘Place of Excellence.’
Thank you alderman Pat
Boname for your bold statement
on this issue.
