what’s on the table tonight.”
Council then fast-tracked the
approval process, moving: directly
tO giving two readings to each of
two bylaws — one for an official
community plan amendment

designating the property, the —

second for rezoning from A2.

Municipal clerk George Sawada
said the bylaws can now be adver-
used for a public hearing, likely to
be scheduled for this month.

The manager of Brentwood Gar-
dens Inc. John Cowlin, contacted
Tuesday, said the company wants
to retain the stip of land for two
reasons.

“A road adjacent to a school
can carry significant volumes of
traffic and should enter Wallace
Drive at right angles. To provide
for a right angle intersection,
which is safer than a skewed
intersection, it is necessary to
move the road south from the
north boundary of the property,”
Cowlin said.

The company’s second reason is
“in making arrangements to sell
the property to the school district
we have given up considerable
frontage on Wallace Drive. We
want to replace this with a stup of
land on a serviced road.”

The Jand was purchased in 1967
by members of the Victoria Home
Builders’ Association who formed
a company called the VHBA
Development Company Ltd. In
1988-89 the name was changed to
Brentwood Gardens Inc. because
many of the owners are no longer
members of the association, Cow-
lin said.

In response to the request from
the aldermen to appear at a coun-
cil meeting, Cowlin said “I would
guess, and I can’t speak for the
company, they would take whatev-
er steps necessary to assist in the
school being constructed.”

Our Mum was here when we

She raised us from a tiny tot,
Through happy years and

She Kept us going and

She's older now and so are
We,
So why not bring her out to

PREMIER JOHNSTON, |
T'S TIME TO PUT

ANOTHER BAD BILL

BEHIND YOU

If the Social Credit government has really changed,
Bill 82 will be repealed during this session of the Legislature.
More than 300,000 public sector families,
targeted by the Vander Zalm administration, = —
are waiting. And watching. |

F the Social Credit government has

really changed since the departure of

Bill Vander Zalm as Premier, Bill 82

(the so-called Compensation Fairness
Act) will be repealed during this session of
the Legislature. But if this law remains in
force public-employee families will receive
a Clear message that a conscious decision
has been made to continue the confronta-
tion.

Public sector wage
increases are moderate

Wage increase comparisons over the
past ten years show that average public and
private sector wage increases are almost
identical (less than one percent difference).

Obviously, public sector wage in-
creases are not out of line with the private
sector. And that’s why Social Credit Labour
Minister Jim Rabbitt and many of the prov-
ince’s leading economists say Bill 82's wage
controls are unnecessary.

Bill 82 should be repealed.

Women workers
are hit the hardest

Half of all public employees are
women. Many of these dedicated British
Columbians work with the very old (in
nursing homes), the very young (as child
care workers) and with the sick (in hos-
pitals) and earn low wages. In fact, many.

“One man,
appointed bya
disgraced former

Premier, has been
given dictatorial
powers...”

female public employees’ pay cheques are
below the poverty line.

The Compensation “Fairness” Act will
lock them into their present low-paying
job ghettos.

That's outrageous. Bill 82 should be
repealed.

Bill 82 ignores the people
you elected in November

Asa result of Bill 82, the school board
and the municipal council you elected last
November cannot conclude a contract with
your community's employees. One man,
appointed by a disgraced former Premier,
has been given dictatorial power to over-
turn the decisions of the people you elected.

What's more, this heavy-handed
intrusion in local community. labour rela-
tions comes from a government that self-

righteously proclaims its belief in a free
marketplace.

If the Social Credit government means
what it says Bill 82 should be repealed.

Bill 82 threatens the
quality of public services

Public employees across British Col-
umbia are attempting to negotiate collective
agreements without knowing what the
Commissioner will consider “acceptable”
to the government. This nerve-wracking
situation leaves hundreds of thousands of
B.€. families in a position of nervous
apprehension.

Meanwhile, worker morale continues
to fall and public services suffer. Women
workers wonder how much longer they
must wait for pay equity. Important work-
place health improvements are delayed.
And employees focus their day-to-day con-
cern on the uncertainty of their families’
pay cheques.

The Compensation “Fairness” Act
allows one man's whim to determine the
future of more than 300,000 British Colum-
bia families. Meanwhile, public employers
are surrounded by confusion as they try to
determine budget and spending prionities.

Bill 82 is creating chaos in our public
services. We are now seeing costly court
battles over this undemocratic, unfair law.

Bill 82 is unnecessary and unaccept-
able. It must be repealed.

REPEAL BILL 82 —
