ing Ltd. director of planning Tom
Becker.

council meeting.

GVRD golf course study being considered

While making the recommenda-
tion, planning committee chair-
man Ald. Clarence Bolt said:
“Because of the cabinet order in
council (allowing golf course
development to be a permitted use
in the Agricultural Land Reserve)
a lot of municipalities have been
having a hard time dealing with
it.”

Ald. Gary Valiquette recom-
mended that Becker’s memo on
proposed OCP amendments also
be referred to the APC. One of
Becker’s comments refers to golf
course references in the proposed
OCP.

Ald. Arlene Box questioned
why the GVRD report was recom-
mended for referral.

Judges’ salaries too low
says Law Society spokesman

Higher salaries for judges sitting
in B.C. provincial courts are sup-
ported by the head of the Law
Society of B.C.

Robert Dick was disappointed
by a provincial legislature decision
to set provincial court judges’
salaries at $103,000 in 1991 and
$107,000 in 1992. ;

A compensation advisory com-
mittee had recommended salaries
of $110,000 in 1991 and $116,000
in 1992.

Dick said the lower amounts
will widen the gap between sala-
ries paid to provincial court judges
and federal court judges.

‘@ Fair salaries for provincial court
judges are essential to attract the
best qualified people to the bench,
Dick said.

In 1990 federal judges made
$42,000 more annually than pro-
vincial court judges, Dick added.

“The provincial court is truly a
people’s court. Most people have
contact with the justice system
through this court, before these

ieosde

judges,” he said.

Provincial courts are held in 101
locations throughout B.C. The sys-
tem handles all young offender
trials, most criminal cases, civil
claims up to $10,000, small claims
and family matters.

is anything we can adopt.”

After council voted in favor of
the referral motion farmer Maurice

course on his property, asked if the
public could attend to listen.
