Vancouver Mayor less colourful

Than predecessor Art Phillips

There's a story cir-
ae ty Mayor Jack
why Mayor Ja
Valrich hasn’t been hit
during the cream-pie-
throwlng craze that
*. toade Vancouver a messy
* place for’ politicians,
sive Con-
servative Leader Joe
Clark, Justice Minister
Ron Basford and provin-
cial Human Resources
Minister Bill Vander

Zalm have been hit with
variations on the basic

nana-cream.

Halfway through his
first term as mayor,
Volrich remains un-
sullled. That's, because,
. thestory goes, on
waiting to cream him fell
asleep.
. Not everyone would
agree that Volrich is as
boring a politician as that
8 implies. But even
the 49-year-old mayor nd
mits that the ability to
work hard, rather than
personality, is his most
valuable political asset
and the main reason he is
also president of the
Federation of Canadian
Municipalities, | (PCM)
and the Union of British
Columbia Municipalities
(UCBM).

Yet critics say hard

-council’s

work doesn’t compensate
for the leadership and
direction Voltrich has
failed to provide in Can-
ada's third largeat city.
LACKS FOCUS i

“In terms of supplying
a vision for the city, he’s
not that clearly focused
at all,” says Ald. Mike
Harcourt whom Volrich
defeated for a mayoralty
nomination in 1976.
He's’ not the strong,

owerful mayor that
Vancouver needs.’’

Many of the 10-person
ac-
complishments during
Volrich's first year—for
example, the establish-
ment A a fishermen's

with other levels of
government,

His more raonal
achievements include the
appointment of an in-

and his success in ob-
taining funds from: senior

His style as mayor is

much more formal than -

that of his predecessor,

“I'm not going to change

Volrich, a lawyer, says
emphasis of such
unimportant _charac-

why ‘unfair. criticisr

he has found worst about

being mayer.

While might - not

Volrich is a hit with other

Volrich has spoken out

ty of the FCM.
Volrich admits that the
FCM, as a national voice
of municipal govern-
ment, has not been as

loud as it might have
been, Some mayors—for

example, former mayors
Stephen Juba of Winnipeg

and Rod Sykes of Cal-
gary—have t a low
profile within ‘the FCM,
and Montreal has never

Volrich therefore sees
any concession from the
