Boname said that it was one of the two Cent:nnial goals for the municipality in the 1960s, the other being the Seawalk, which was built.

Some years ago. a study identi- fied the West Vancouver Recreation Centre area as the best site for arts activity. °

Since then, several other sites have come up in discussions.

Ironically, the municipality once owned the postal site, but sold it to Canada: Post for $30,000 in 1958

and used the funds to build the recre- -

ation centre.

Boname said that the location cf the adjacent seniors recreation cen- tre had once been earmarked for a theatre-arts centre.

Six yeurs ago, the local arts com- mission was formed to help integrate the arts into the planning system.

Boname feels the municipality stil has a long way to go before an auts centre could become a reality. In

-the meantime, asts groups will contin-

ue to use a number of small, munici- pally owned houses on the waterfront

for theatre and gallery space.
