New Sportsplex

receives

funds

from province

CAPILANO COLLEGE has
received $200,000 from the pro-
vincial government for construc-
tion af the college’s Sportsplex.

In total, Capilano College is
scheduled to receive $400,000
from GO B.C. grants for the pro-
jeat.

Provincial Secretary Elwood
Veitch, the minister responsible
for GO B.C., said the project is a
partnership between all three
North Shore municipalities and
will provide college students and

neighboring communities with
services currently not available at
the North Vancouver college.

“The building is more than half
completed and will include
squash, racquetball courts and a
large gymnasium,’’ said North
Vancouver-Capilano MLA Angus
Ree.

GO B.C. is a provincial zov-
ernment capital funding program
which uses the proceeds from lot-
teries to assist a wide ranze of
community initiatives.

CAPILANO COLLEGE'S multi-million-doliar Sportsplex facility
will be completed in June and will be opened officially in
September. The $3-million Sportsplex will include a 14,500-
square-foot gym with 10 glass basketball back boards, an addi-
tional 2,000-square-foot gym that will be used for exercise
classes, a concession and kitchen area and a video games
room. The Sportsplex will be the permanent home of Capilano

Coliege’s basketball teams.

Question: | am a disabled per-
son in a wheelchair and uader-
stand that there are transit services
available for handicapped people.
How do I find out it [ qualify for
this service, and what do they of-
fer? Also, I am on a limited in-
come and wonder if there are sub-
sidies available?

Answer: The service you are re-
ferring to is called Handydart. It
is like a “transit taxi,’ that is
dispatched from a central office in
each Lower Mainland municipali-

HELP’S

ty. Taking the Handydart van is
similar to boarding a mini bus
that you share with other people,
except that you call for it to come
aad pick you up, You can use the
service for transportation to med-
ical appointments, work or
school, shopping and recreation.
Eligibility is based on «& person’s
inability to use the regular transit
system and whether it is due to a
temporary or permanent disabili-
ty. In some cases, you may re-
quire a letter from your doctor.
Rides must be booked at least
two days in advance and can be
reserved a maximum of seven days
ahead. You can book a Han-
dydart ride by calling the North
Shore office at 980-3691, with
your ride request time and
whether or not you will be riding
with a companion — your com-
panion can ride free of charge.

ready. Trips to Vancouver and
other municipalities can be ar-
ranged, but the North Shore
Handydart vans make only one
trip per day to Vancouver.

The cost of a fare is $1.25 each
way, within one zone, and 50
cents per extra zone to a max-
imum of $2.25. Unfortunately,
neither the yearly bus passes or
senior’s and disabled passes
(available if you are receiving
GAIN) are valid for Handydart
rides. You must either pay the
driver in cash for your ride, pur-
chase a 320 book of ride coupons
(no financial savings), or, if you
are a regular user of the service,
you could apply for a $50 mon-
thly pass. A nass may be casier to
use if handling money is difficult

If your disability is related to an
insurance claim, ask the Han-
dydait driver for receipts to claim
expenses. If you are receiving in-
come assistance (GAIN), you
could be eligible for an allowance
for Handydart, but it depends on
where you are going.

8:10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday
