Dear Editor:

Re: Daycare Eviction — Capilano Elementary School

This letter is to thank Judie Smith and Barbara Kinniburgh, Directors of the Pemberton Heights Family Support Society, and other community members who helped in trying to save the daycare at Capilano elementary school and to shame the North Vancouver school board trustees who eventually destroyed i it.

A specia! thanks to Barb and Judie for their extraordinary efforts to provide a much-needed service to our community.

Everyone at the daycare went beyond the call of duty to

. help countless families make it through the carly years of their —

children’s life both financially and emotionally. This valuab! daycare will never be replaced. F sincerely hope. the schoo board’s treatment of you does not discourage you from helpa ing our community in the future.

Shame on the school board Trustees Guy Heywood, MacLelland, Marg Jessup, Pat Heal, and Doug Mac! for what they have donc. They have forced a: day. business and divided a community in the process.

I hope the community members of North Vancouver, ne\ forget what took place. Chris Dorais North Vancouver
