On behalf of the Family Services of the North Shore, I would like to thank your reporter Ben Bengtson for his coverage of our Eating Disorders Awareness Week event at the Centennial Theatre .

If you’ve been able to see your way through the cloud of vapour smoke recently, you might have noticed more people vaping or using e-cigarettes.

Dear Editor : In her Mayors’ Message advertisement published in the North Shore News on Feb. 27, West Vancouver Mayor Mary-Ann Booth said I played a prominent role in including the B-Line in the Mayors’ Transit Plan.

One day, the powers who be at TransLink looked at the long, clotted lines of traffic stalled on the only two bridges that cross Burrard Inlet, the only access to the North Shore, the Horseshoe Bay ferry, Squamish, Whistler, etc.

So long, sunny ways.

Dear Editor: At the recent western stakeholders’ meeting about the B-Line bus with the mayor and three councillors in attendance, TransLink representatives could not answer basic questions.

Do not let what appears to be a relatively small budget surplus fool you: Finance Minister Carole James has socked more than a billion dollars away, ready to be used should any spending get out of hand or revenues fail to materialize.

Dear editor: I attended the community consultation meeting on the B-Line Thursday evening . It was very well moderated and heckling was not allowed.

In 1974, when City of North Vancouver mayor Tom Reid learned of the province’s plans to launch the SeaBus service, he was “disgusted.” The city was planning to rezone the terminal land into commercial space.

Dear Editor, I and many others participated in a lively and packed (400+) town hall in West Vancouver on Thursday evening. In my 37 years of living in West Vancouver, I have never seen so many residents from all over our community at such a meeting.
