Item No. 13 – Interim Funding:  Problem Gambling Prevention Services

Mr. Gary Johns, 6018 Wilson Avenue, Burnaby, spoke about problem gambling, and the need for the creation of a school program which would educate school children about gambling and problem gamblers.

Item No. 27 – West Cambie Area Plan Update – Proposed Alexandra Area Plan Concept

Mr. Ray Stolberg, of 9540 Odlin Road, spoke in support of the proposed West Cambie Area Plan.

Mr. Satta Lal, of 10431 Odlin Road, expressed agreement with the statements of the previous speaker.  He urged Council to support the plan, which would include a shopping centre for local area residents.  He also asked that serious consideration be given to increasing the density for the townhouse area, as well as the Cambie West area, because of its proximity to the City Centre; and that the proposed business park provide additional liveable area which would allow increased density.

Item No. 11 – Fireworks Regulation Changes

Mr. John Reilly, of West Vancouver, spoke about the proposed fireworks ban and provided information in response to statistics given at the Community Safety Committee meeting on the number of injuries sustained by persons setting off fireworks.  (A copy of the information provided is on file in the City Clerk’s Office.)  He spoke in support of a program to educate the public about the safe use of fireworks rather than banning fireworks outright in the City.

Mr. David Phillips, of Mystical Distributing Company Ltd., spoke in opposition to the proposed fireworks ban.  He talked about the damage caused by individuals on Halloween night, even though the city concerned had banned fireworks.  He questioned whether banning legal fireworks would reduce the amount of vandalism and arson which occurred each year on Halloween.  Mr. Phillips concluded his presentation by speaking about the need for education programs to teach the public how to handle fireworks safely.
