DEEP COVE residents may be
getting a new community hall, but
hopes for a planned new boat-
house are now less optitnistic.

Although North Vancouver
District Council has not yet made a
decision on the Deep Cove project,
which includes construction of a
community replacement hall and a
small boat storage facility, most
aldermen said they could not sup-
port funding a new boathouse.

“We cannot afford spending
$335,000 on something that is used
by a limited number of people at a
limited time of year,'' Ald. Bill
Rodgers told council Monday.

Plans for a new community hall
and boathouse were supported by
residents at a Jan. 28 public
meeting, most of whom were in
favor of building.an expanded hall
on Gallant Avenue at a cost of ap-
proximately $350,000, and to
relocate the boathouse southeast of
its present site. The move would
cost the district an extra $185,000
for rowing shell storage and to
redevelop the shoreline around the
boathouse.

Ald Ernie Crist said while coun-
cil has an obligation to approve
construction of the hall, which if
approved will be paid for by the
district, the Capilano Lions, and
the community, a boathouse is a
“luxury we can't afford this
year.”’

“*We have a long shopping list,’’
he said, ‘'$335,000 is difficult to
come up with.”

support of a science centre

: . NORTH: VANCOUVER

District Council has made it
clear. to: Mayor Marilyn
Baker. it: will not support: a
tax levy, on local homeown-

ers 'for’a proposed Science

Centre ‘until more informa-
tion on the plan is received.

Baker asked for council’s sup-
port. Monday to fund a $17.3 mil-

’ lion centre, which will see North

Vancouver District and other
Greater Vancouver municipalities
contributing a $1 million regional
grant towards the project.

And that means that local
homeowners will be hit with a $2
per$100,000 home tax in order to
raise $50,000 for the centre.

Ald. Bill-Rodgers said if council
supports such a proposal it will be
“stepping outside our authority.”

But Baker said a grant for the

. Science Centre would be ‘‘breaking

new ground”? for the GVRD and
that similar grants are presently
being considered to fund cultural
groups that service a whole region.

‘Ald. Murray Dykeman, howev-
er, warned that without a policy ,
individual
donate only to arts groups of their
choice, and as a result, the GVRD
would not be able to raise enough
money to fund the project.

“Ald. Mary Segal also expressed
concern: that if council should
support the proposal,

: future cultural projects.

'- The federal and provincial gov-

municipalities could |

taxpayers -
...would esd up footing the bill of

ernments have together con-
tributed $7 million towards the
centre, /
North Vancouver District Coun-
cil. had. already supported the

Science Centre in principle. Baker
said she will await a decision from
council before joining other
municipalities in a March 2 vote on
whether or not to proceed.

Although Ald. Mary Segal did
not support relocating the boat-
house, she said council has never-

theless made a cammitment to
replace the structure.

“We've been working on this
for two years,"’ Segal said. “It
hasn't just dropped in our laps."*

Council is expected to deal with
the issue at its March 21 mecting.
