Petition: UBC Golf Course

To the Premier of British Columbia and the member for Point Grey the Honourable Gordon Campbell.

We the undersigned ask you and the Provincial Government to find an alternative method of compensating the Musqueam Indian Band regarding any entitlement they may have to the UBC golf Course. We believe that this golf course has been a vital recreation resource and an important part of the social fabric of Vancouver since 1929, particularly those of us who are lucky enough to live in Point Grey. Over the last seventy five years Vancouver has lost four key golf courses, Jericho, Hastings Park, Shaughnessy and Quilchena. Although Shaughnessy relocated to the Musqueam Land it will revert to the Musqueams in 2033 a short 26 years from now. With the recreational needs of seniors clearly on the increase in our community, it would be a terrible mistake to convert this precious resource into housing either for the private sector or the Musqueam Indian Band.
