THE UNUSUAL ASSETS ALREADY POSSESSED BY WEST VANCOUVER Should contribute strongly to its develO'pment as the finest residential municipality in Western Canada -- assets which autofnatically contribute to its future status as a health resort and tourist attraction. However,-one cannot expect tourists or other visitors from East or South unless we have adequate accommodation. With such accom­ modation we may well anticipate th a t this healthy and beautiful place ■would become a Mecca of the Wtealthy. i^ s te rn anxious to avoid his own climatic extremes. All this, nevertheless, depends entirely on the type of'hospitality and. comfortable accommodation that may be avail­ able Hence the recent activity in regard to an hotel a t a cost, I under­ stand, of about $100,000 or more, with: every department psual to any successful hotel suggests progress. It. is to be staffed by West Van­ couverites, and, its building' will give considerable eniployment. The great .Capilano Golf 'Club has no guest rooms and this hotel should be available to those tourists or sportsmen wishing to take tenvporary residence in West-Vancouver. As there are no present facilities of this- ^character in West Vancouver, the hotel will be a great step forward. Construction is to, be of Tudor design, with a t least th irty bedrooms and private baths, ballroom accommodating 500 dancers, which can be , used as an auditoriuni, two dining rooms, coffee shop and refreshment room. It is .to be maintained on- highest standards to merit approval of residents as well as guests?^ werq also guests of honor Sun­ day evening when Miss Molly Lock entertained a t a supper party.
