A MESSAGE FROM THE PRES!DENT

As we come up to our sixth full-fledgedAnnual General Meeting, the Cordova BayAssoc'lation seems to be in good shape.The majority of people seem to under­stand and appreciate what we are doing:in forty or so calls collecting the 1982membership, I met only one person whosaid "We're not interested."! What havewe tried to do? New residents inparticular may be interested to know theC.B.A. 's double purpose: to retain, asfar as possible, the semi-rural single­family dwelling character of the Bay,and to foster a sense of community.

With regard to the first, we have doneeverything we can in the circumstances,and have helped to bring in a local areaplan which keeps some decent control ofdevelopment. It's now the job of eachlittle pocket or neighbourhood to dealwith its own immediate problems ofzoning, roading, etc., and we will helpwhere we can. Recently, for example,beach residents have been active inapproaching the Municipality about post­sewering clay exposure after a storm

NOMINATIONS FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORSCAN BE MADE AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Disarming Saanich

A Times-Colonist editorial, March 26/82,on municipal referendums on nuclear dis­armament, said this:

"Isn't there a possibility that such agrass-roots movement, rising like the tideworld-wide, could pressure the super-powersto negotiate meaningful disarmament?

"Unlikely? Certainly impossible?Remember how alone Terry Fox was when hestarted to run, and how much company hegathered along the way. If enough peoplehowl loud enough for nuclear disarmament,they just might get it.

"That's the idea behind the referendum."That's why councils should assist, not

impede it."

On March 22, Saanich Council's standingcommittee instructed Alderman Knight toliaise with other municipal councils andgroups on the wording for a referendumon nuclear disarmament.

Channel 10 Neighbourhood Update featureddiscussion on municipal referenda ondisarmament recently. Cordova Bay'srecent Inter-Church Poverty Supper on theArms Race was a stimulating occasion.Why not express your views to your paper(including The Cordovan) and to youraldermen?

CITIZENS' ACTION LEAGUE

Protests, mass meetings, and petitionsby C.A.L., coupled with good mediacoverage of C.A.L. efforts, helped toobtain reductions in tax assessments inmany local areas. Many more reductionswere achieved by individuals who, withideas from C.A.L., appealed their cases.

By about April 23, C.A.L. will haveavailable printed suggestions for carryingyour case to the Board of Appeal, if youwere dissatisfied with results from theBoard of Revision. You can pick them upfrom C.A.L. IS office, in Room 506,Central Building, 620 View St., phone384-0232.

In addition to pressing for lower taxes,C.A.L. is now striving to promoteefficiency in spending public funds, andto encourage moderation in services. InJune, Howard Jarvis, founder of the famoustax-lowering Proposition 13 in California,will speak at a C.A.L meeting here, aswell as in Nanaimo and Toronto.
