or provincially owned cultural centre to which the general public have
access, subject to such terms and conditions as may be prescribed by the
general manger, and that one of the requirements for issuance of such a
licence is the approval of the Municipality or Regional District, as the
case may be, in which the establishment is located, and this approval
may be given for all applications of a particular class or approvals may
be given individual applications in each class as they arise. The City
Clerk, in his memorandum, further advised that if PoCo Valley Golf &
Country Club were to be granted the general licence it would operate

A discussion ensued, and Alderman Ranger pointed out that a general

some written assurance to this effect. Alderman Thompson stated his
concern at the additional strain that would be put on sewer Lines,

players to have a drink and he pointed out that the capacity of the

lounge is only 100 persons. Mayor Campbell commented that if a general
licence is issued, draft beer can be sold and any type of entertainment

provided to attract people,

Aldermen Thompson and Traboulay voted in favour of the resolution.

Prior to defeat of the foregoing resolution, Alderman Laking inquired
whether there was any way under the Zoning By-law to control conversion

advised there was not. Mr. Gill pointed out that the facility could not
