Michael Robinson	North Shore Resident	Pride in one's community is a major determinant factor on the health of that community. It should be our community vision to care about our citisens and react in their best interest (long term community vision). I can not tell you how many I have spoken to that are completely heart broken over the feeling of loss in our community by the presence of these advertisements. The mutual feeling is that these billboards are intruders that have stolen value from our community. I am ready for a fight on this...
brian gerbrandt	Long time resident of Kitsilano	The power of the people. It's is the only thing that has ever had a real impact on change. These signs are far too bright, very distracting. People power stopped the Whale hunt in Washington state. Crushed the Berlin Wall. I single handedly stopped two rubbish removal companies from hanging their signs on telephone poles in Vancouver. It wasn't easy but you don't see them anymore, do you?
Kevin Steiner	North Shore Resident
Pelle Wittenberg	Vancouver Residence
D	Kits Resident
Cindy	Kitislano Resident
Mark Hunter	Lower Mainland Resident	Billboards are almost always a terrible eyesore to the beholder. The LED sign recently installed beside the Burrard bridge is so unsightly one wonders whether it was erected as an example of how horrific this form of advertising can be. Please take this and other such signs down. And, preferably, do so before the world comes to see them in 2010.
Jennifer Gerth	West End Resident
Tony Di Giovanni	North Shore Resident
Andrew Graham	Vancouver resident	There are good reasons why Vancouver banned billboards long ago. Just visit any city that hasn't had Vancouver's foresight and see what an eyesore billboards become. Help keep Vancouver beautiful by boycotting advertisers.
R Vernon	Kits resident	Terrible decision! Now that the drivers are in safer mode eliminating cell phones, they can now get into accidents with this ugly distraction. Progress? No, just greed.
Linda Kalman
V Mackenzie	Kitsilano Resident	I don't care if they are LED or traditional billboards, they pose a potential hazard on any bridge. Aren't there enough distractions putting us at risk already? I won't be able to boycot a company who advertizes on them because I'll be keeping my eyes where they belong-on the road.
Harold Kalman	Vancouver Resident	I oppose the installation of electronic billboards throughout Metro Vancouver, not just the North Shore.
Lorne Whitehead	Vancouver resident	Outdoor LED signs, if allowed anywhere, should be regulated to be small enough, dim enough, and sufficiently slowly changing, that they will not "catch the eye" of drivers. If that makes them economically unattractive, who cares? Sociey simply does not need them. This is a safety issue, and as such it trumps all other considerations.
Anton Miller	Vancouver Resident	I'd like to see these hideous intrusions into our lives banned in Vancouver and the North Shore. They are horrifically ugly and very distracting
Gordon Bitney	North Shore Resident	The City of Vancouver has bylaws covering billboards. When one group has a loophole that allows it to avoid those bylaws and proceeds to exploit that loophole, then it has ignored an ethical understanding. The Squamish Nation has placed itself outside reasonable conduct. In that case, how can Vanoc justify advertising there?
Richard Jones	South Surrey Resident	I will not support any companies that advertise on these or any other billboards that flaunt our laws.
Rod Harman	North Shore Resident	Please... not just the North Shore, spread the word to all communities. I am opposed to most billboards... but these electronic, gigantic, hideous,ugly things should have never been considered. What were the Native decision makers thinking... don't even get me started, they would not want to hear the rest. Thank you Wayne for putting in the effort. I will also plan to boycott any advertisers for a period of one year(or forever)after the last date of removing their advertisement. I will also spend some spare time passing the word. I hope this will go on until the billboards are dismantled.
Gordon Cook	North Shore Resident	The signs are a blight on our cities. Shame on the Squamish nation for not caring about the laws that everyone else follows. Truly a selfish and disrespectful action.
Michael	surrey resident
Wendi Graves	North Shore Resident	I am disgusted to be inundated with this visual pollutant. What a terrible distraction to motorists.
Simon Vallee	Kitsilano resident
Suzi Mikaelian	North Shore Resident	It's a complete contradition to the essence of Kitsilano.
Dan and Yvonne	North Shore Resident	If I see an ad with Will ferrell's ugly face advertising his next big movie I'm sure my eyes will begin to bleed and my head will explode... These billboards are a STUPID idea.
Gail Benjafield		I am from Ontario and our community is fighting exactly the same issues, but on a Municipal level. So too are many communities in Canada and the U.S.
Joshua Falcioni	Vancouver Resident	Almost had an accident these sign make us all look bad (and make making our beautiful cityscape look bad)
Shane Miller-Tait	North Shore Resident
Johnny de Jesus	North Shore Resident	I will boycott any and all advertisers products and services.
Derek Pinder
Leslie	North Shore Resident
Josh Carpenter	Kitsilano Resident
Edwin Eppich	North Shore Resident	The Squamish Nation has ignored the large public outcry against the installation of the billboards. I will continue the protest by boycotting the Squamish Nation and all advertisers until they publicly promise not to advertise on those billboards again.
matthew Hopper	North Shore Resident	I will be boycotting any bussineses using these for advertising
Joan Wilson	North Shore Resident	Why don't we put them along the Baden Powell trail? Perhaps a big one at the top of Shannon Falls? Lighthouse Park perhaps? Ohhh yea.... what about Lions' Gate Bridge, the doorway to our city.....? Oops.... oh yea.. we've already done that! Grrrrr
Steve Webster	North Shore Resident	As Rogers is now advertising their cell phones on these monstrosities, recommend boycott of Rogers products including their DVD rentals.
Don Crossley	North Shore Resident	Out of proportion, out of place. What would you think if they were placed 20 feet apart all along a particular bridge or readway?
Tyler Bancroft	North Shore Resident
Kiah Grant	North Shore Resident	I think that the signs obscure the beauty of our city and causesdistrations to drivers and light pollution for the residents.
Sarah Arnold	North Shore/Kitsilano Resident	They are just so garish, they look awful. Please, please remove them. For traffic safety and aesthetic reasons.
Joan Wilson	North Shore Resident	I have emailed each advertiser. It's time big corp understands that they cannot push their decisions down our throats. Thank goodness for social media. I've joined http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=219801049658&ref=mf http://www.boycottbillboard
Ryan Y	North Shore Resident
Lara Kozan	North Shore Resident	These signs are polluting the natural environment and unequivocally need to be removed.
Tom Dobrzanski	Vancouver Resident	I am extremely disappointed that these signs have been allowed to go up. They are unsafe, and an eye sore to famous vancouver views.
Robert H. Elliott	False creek Residnt	An affront to equality in Canadian culture!
Amy	North Shore Resident
Rebecca Davies	North Shore visitor	NASTY! NO BILLBOARDS! How about we pay the advertising company to NOT put them up.
ryan tomkinson	Vancouver resident	This is very very obtrusive and is going to destroy the beauty of North Vancouver.
Jason Thompson	North Shore Resident
Jennifer Kavander	kits resident
Emma Faroh	North Shore Resident	Do we really need that many?
Ducnan Clarke	Other
Sonja Jensen	North Shore Resident	The unsightly billboards are a distraction from the true beauty of our city. I will boycott any company who chooses to advertise on these should they be approved.
stacey sparrow
Noel Fox	Kitsilano Resident	I have lived in Kits since 1987 and while my business is advertising this is one of the worst examples of invasions of personal space that I know of. Please take these things down, they hurt both our community and our culture. Vancouver is not NYC.
randy sharp	vancouver resident	I will not buy anything advertised on these billboards!
carol smith	vancouver resident
pamela egger	Kitsilano resident
Janice Boultbee	North Shore Resident	I will boycott any product sold by or produced by Grand and Toy, Shore104 and any other company who advertises on these billboards. They are like massive litter.
Adriana	Vancouver Resident	I run and walk over the burrard street bridge weekly and have witnessed this advertizing eyesore that blocks the beautiful North Shore city and mountains view. It is also a fairly large distraction as a driver due to the bright lights flashing one's attention to the west, when drivers' attention should be directed to the north!! I would vote that not only is this billboard sign aesthetically unpleasing, it also serves as a safety hazard. I sincerely hope that this form of advertizing be reconsidered.

Jessica Silver	North Shore Resident	Stop this eyesore!
adam korbin	kitsilano
Steven Luscher	Vancouver Resident	Outdoor billboards are a net loss for humankind. I would support countless tolls on roadways, in lieu of even one billboard, as a way for the Squamish First Nation to earn revenue.
Verne Becott	Yaletown resident	I bike past the Burrard Bridge eyesore everyday
Ariane Colenbrander	Vancouver (Kitsilano) resident	A historical landmark such as Burrard Bridge is no place for a billboard, electronic or otherwise.
D. Cheung	Vancouver Resident	These things are an eyesore. I can't even read what they're saying when I cross Burrard Bridge anyway ...
Jeanne Coleman	North Shore Resident	Please stop the billboards. They are a blight on the landscape!
peter hughes	North Shore Resident	I totally agree with you and suggest you advise all north shore resisdents to consider boycotting all squamish nation products and those of any advertisers who use the signs and to let the people who now own these signs know what we intend to do. I and all my firends no longer will buy any squamish products or anyone who advertises on the signs, starting with That vacations group that is already advertising. Every advertiser should be made awear of the 10000 plus people you have signed up and their intentions to boycott their businesses and products.Thats the only way we can get these signs removed, no income from advertisers no signs.
Claudia	North Shore Resident
Anne Jetelina	Concerned Resident	I hate any kind of exaggerated commercial racket, but this one is also very unsightly.
Jordan	Kitsilano Resident	an awful eye-sore.

Karen	North Shore Resident
Heather Robinson	North Shore Resident	APPALLED the city would let this happen!!! I am sick to my stomache everytime I cross the Burrard Street Bridge and wish it would go away!
Chad Navid	North Shore Resident	they're unsightly and really tacky. I plan to boycott any advertizers on them.
Jennifer Paterson	North Shore Resident	ITS UGLY. we live in a beautiful place... why do this to our city?
Bran Paterson	North Shore Resident	I will not purchase from anybody that advertises on these billboards!
paul mayer	vancouver Resident	I am most concerned about the Burrard Br sign - I think you should have young people with placards at the s. base of the bridge in morning rush hour (as is done during elections)soliciting registration on a site to boycott advertisers on these signs
REBEKAH BROOKS	Yaletown resident	This is not acceptable, and is not warranted.
Lisa Carlin
Kendra Anderson	North Shore Resident	These billboards will destroy the look of Vancouver and the North Shore. It is truly a shame that we will now be indistinguishable from countless US cities.
michael G	North Shore Resident	I will not buy from the I will not buy from the companys who choose to do there advertising this way
Andrea Jonsson	North Shore Resident
Joe	North Shore Resident	Asthetics aside, driver distractions such as lit billboards should not be erected. They will only increase the death toll on B.C. roads. I am hoping that representatives from Translink, ICBC, and local municipalities will address this issue constructively.
Chris Hanna	North Shore Resident
Andrea Smith	Lower Mainland Resident
Chris Hay	Lower mainland resident	eyesore, dangerous, irresponsible

Sina Kia	North Shore Resident
Graeme	North Shore Resident	I will stop at nothing until these billboards are taken down. I intend to passionately boycott any company that uses these billboards to advertise. And I will let them know about it.
Elizabeth	North Shore Resident	They are disgraceful! For a people who are so in tune with the environment they sure know how to destroy it. I personally will boycott any business who uses the billboards to advertise. Obviously $$$ talks.
Alister Prout	North Shore Resident	Eyesores, dangerous and a blight on the landscape
James Stitt	Vancouver Resident
Cal Wilks	North Shore Resident
Nancy Steyns	North Shore Resident	Already the signs are a distraction even without any significant messages or advertisements. They are overly bright and directly in the eye-line. This is a very irresponsible way to generate revenue within a community.
Alison Verheyde	North Shore Resident	Not only are the billboards an eyesore but the clear cutting of the longstanding trees around the one at the Lion's Gate Bridge is appalling. The surrounding land has been left a mess with no regard for appearance and esthetic to the neighbours. Clearly it is all about the money. I too will boycott advertisers.
Shauna	North Shore Resident	It may be too late, as I see they are already up, but as such, I am now completely appalled by our government, local and provincial and quite frankly they should be ashamed....
Paula Bohan	North Shore Resident	I am boycotting any company or product that advertises on those hideous billboards. I will not buy any local native-made products, because so far they are only advertising their nation. It remains to be seen if anyone else will pay for advertising.
Neil Miskey	North Shore Resident	The Federal Government and the Squamish nation have ignored the wishes of the citizens. I will certainly boycott any goods or services advertised on these signs, they are dangerous to drivers and a visual blight.
Steve Potter	North Shore Resident
Steve Potter	North Shore Resident
Jonathan Parminter	North Shore Resident	Not only are these signs an eyesore, they removed at least 10 trees to put them in. The area around the signs is a mess and looks like a bomb went off. I wonder what people coming to North Vancouver for the first time think of this ugly mess as their first impression of our city!
F.K. Fasano	North Shore Resident	A horrible blight on our beautiful North Shore - SHAME
KEVIN HENDERSON	North Shore Resident	I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING ADVERTISED ON A BILLBOARD
Trevor Grave	North Shore Resident

Kara Guedes	North Shore Resident
vic marchiel	North Shore Resident	These signs are not only large and ugly they are completely distracting. Shame on the concept behind these offensive objects!
C Gold	North Shore Resident	I wasn't opposed until I saw the one at Lionsgate. Electronic billboards are much worse than print.
Sarah Taylor
J. Stewart	Vancouver resident	I oppose the bulletin boards, especially the one near Burrard bridge.

Bethany Keddy	Vancouver Resident	I will boycott companies that advertise on the signs. I hope you will create a list of these companies and post on your website.
Jack Meoff	North Shore Resident	I support capitalism and the freedom of expression.
JAMES V. HOUSTON	North Shore Resident	THE BILLBOARD ALREADY ERECTED AT THE LIONSGATE BRIDGE, IS A DISGUSTING BLIGHT ON THE LANDSCAPE. SHAME ON YOU SQUAMISH BAND.

Tony	North Shore Resident	Stop it. We need a safe and clean North Shore.
Pieter van der Leek	Metro Vancouver resident
Eric Hiob	Vancouver Property Owner and Resident	I will boycott any business that advertises on those billboards.
Julia McLeod	North Shore Resident	We must put a stop this. If you intend to do any work or need volunteers, please let me know. I feel very strongly about this and was horrified to see one last night driving home.
Stephanie Yang	North Shore Resident	Don't pollute our beautiful North Shore. The First Nation has had enough freebies already. Time for them to work as every one of us does.
Andrew Lunny	member of public	They are an eysore. So much for natives being the "stewards of the land"!
Stephen Harrison	Vancouver Resident	These billboards are dangerous and eyesores. I will boycott all products advertised on them.

Eric Lam	Concerned Vancouverite
mr. hanson	Hope Resident	i have seen many examples of natives despoiling the land&wildlife throughout B.C.! Just look at ANY reserve,the houses illkept & yards[full of rusted vehicles,etc.]I was in a reserve house[near Hope]several yrs. ago when a drunken indian came in &punched ANOTHER hole in the wall! I asked why he did this? Hereplied"I don't give a shit,the fu--ing white man will buy me another one"! YOU'R TAX $ AT WORK!???
Travis Grubb	North Shore Resident	The signs are a mistake and an insult to the community. I will boycott any advertiser using them.
Jeff Jackman	Downtown resident	I look out my window across the Burrard Bridge and what do I see? a gross glaring gob of commercial advertising. I will not be spending my money at any retail store that advertises there.
Ramona Chan	Vancouver Resident
J. Bennison	Sunshine Coast Resident	I am so tired of the takeover of public space by corporate interests. Seems you can't go anywhere without being accosted by someone selling something. Even the air we breath and drive through is tainted by these kinds of signs.
Michael Conrad	North Shore Resident	There should be a boycott of any company that advertises on these eyesores.
Aimee	Vancouver Resident
Rocket Richards	Coquitlam Resident	It is actually a relatively small sign...kind of like a humongous sized flat screen TV with a beautiful natural backdrop. The problem is it sets a real and very dangerous precedent, and a slippery slope...next thing you know we have dozens of tacky signs ...the end of Lotusland as we know it. Money has the power for positive change. Do NOT spend your money on companies that advertise here. Help keep Vancouver one of the most beautiful cities in the world!!
Adam Ramsay	Terrace, BC	I am outraged that a people so in favour of preserving the beauty of the land are willing to put up these atrocities.
Dave	Vancouver Resident	Sign bylaws should apply equally to ALL citizens.
Don Ramsay	North Shore Resident (former)	I currently reside in Terrace BC but regularly visit the lower mainland. I will boycot the products and services of any organization advertising on these billboards
Brendan Crossley	Vancouver Resident
Charmaine Chang	Vancouver Resident	To businesses who shamefully choose to advertise on these unnatural eyesores, beware of the consequences.
M. Bain	Downtown Resident	Not a Fan
paul davis	North Shore Resident	Shameful trashy grab for money. Needed or otherwise it is a blight on the city.
Henry Wang	North Shore Resident	It really spoils what remains of the beautiful skyline of Vancouver and should not be allowed.
Andrew Sutherland	North Shore Resident
judy walker	Vancouver Resident	No unsightly and unsafe billboards please!
Ken DeCarle	BC Resident
Jim McGarvey	North Shore Resident	Let's be honest - the only long-term hope for the natives in BC is to have public support. This ends it for many for the Squamish Band, including me!
M Fieldwalker	Vancouver Coastal Health + Born & raised in N.Van	These signs are a total disgrace. I will boycott any advertisers. Do we still need special laws for some groups? Wrongs from long dead previous generations no longer have any place in deciding our policy. These signs seem like "anything for a buck, even wrecking the environment (except working)"
Andrew Mackenzie	North Shore Resident	I do not understand how a group of proud people with a deep connection to nature can do this. A bad decision justified because "everyone else is doing it"! I will be sure to avoid any companies who are stupid enough to post on these!
Michael Kraus	Vancouver Resident	let us be a community of love, not of commercialism
Lon Temereski	Vancouver Island Resident	Please get rid of these eyesores.
Dimitri Globerman	BC Resident	foolish eyesore, will not only boycott but will advocate for same from friends and family
Robyn Allan	West End Resident	These signs are obviously a safety hazard since advertisers only pay for space if they think people will view it...these are large moving signs designed to make people watch for long periods of time. Obviously they are going to create accidents, besides being a terrible eyesore.
Mark Hartmann	North Shore Resident	I as one of the 10 000+ in support of the Ban and removal of the Billboards will also support a boycott of products and businesses that choose to advertise
marc Eliesen
Scott	North Shore Resident	I think it's a disgrace that the Chief blames other groups for ripping off the land and then these billboards go up under the auspices of a need to make money. PS> When do we expect the Casino?
Helen Sheridan	North Shore Resident	Horrendous - I live on the Shore for it's beauty. Now our gateway is marred by this monstrosity. We should be ashamed of ourselves - so much for beautiful BC....
Hobert Liang	North Shore Resident
Catherine Simpson	Vancouver homeowner and tax payer	I am appalled that this blight on the landscape has been allowed. What a horrible, horrible sight. It has ruined the landscape of Vancouver. Shame on those who erected them, shame on those that allowed them and shame on the advertisers. I will boycott you and your products forever!
Ben Hecker	Kitsilano Resident	These signs are both dangerous and hideous
Sharon Labchuk
Heather	North Shore Resident	Surely there is a better way to bring money to the Sqarmish Nation rather than visually trashing the beautiful Vancouver views.
mtaylor	Vancouver Resident	The billboard at Burrard St is not only a driving hazard (I almost drove into the next lane as I saw it today), but also an eyesore in this beautiful city, which soon will be no more due to the Squamish Bands billboards-shame on them
Joe	North Shore Resident	What would happen if we had done the same on public land next to First Nations land. Some thing tells me they would be crying like baby's like they do with everything else.
cheryl borgmann	North Shore Resident	these are hideous and its pathetic the overnment can't do anything to stop this. Is this area going to turn into the hideousness of the highway from the ferry terminal to victoria? So Sad.
Laura Barker	Vancouver Resident	I take the Burrard Bridge to work everyday and noticed this horrific eyesore on the way across the bridge. I was so disgusted by the sight that I had to go online to find out who I could complain to and came upon this. Good luck!! You may want to add the video ad screen at BC Place to this petition. I live across the street from it and its awful too.
Stephen Rappard	North Shore Resident	Apart from the obvious distraction to motorists, these electronic LED Billboards are totally opposite to the natural beauty of this city. I'm outraged the Squamish Indians are allowed to fuck-up our vistas as and where they feel fit.!
Peter Clarke	Lower Mainland Resident
Craig Ibbotson	Vancouver Resident	In my opinion the only thing that will work is a complete boycott of any company that advertises on these signs. Websites like this should list the advertisers so that consumers can keep up to date on past and current advertisers using these signs
Niki Bancroft	North Shore Resident	As a 55 year resident of the North shore I an saddened that the Natives have resorted to ths money grab!SHAME SHAME
eric roberts		Disgusting opportunism destroying citizens' enjoyment of their surroundings. Squamish Nation is actually worse than any industry or business interests - what a bunch of money-grubbing greedy hypocrites.

Richard Edwards	Vancouver resident and small business owner
Elizabeth Hoffman	North Shore Resident
david matthews	North Shore Resident	a dangerous eyesore
T Coles	North Shore Resident	They're potentially dangerous, an eyesore and an arrogant money-grab. I will boycott all advertisers, and let them know why I'm doing so in each case. I don't believe North Shore residents realize just how powerful a concerted consumer boycott can be.
Jon Roper	North Shore Resident
Janey Cruise	Kits Point Resident	The Squamish Nation should be disgusted with themselves. Alienation has just been put on warp speed...
david matthews	North Shore Resident	I am sadened, disappointed and angered at the abdication of responsibility of ou government and regulators.
Simon	North Shore Resident	PLEASE!!!!
Clive Wright	North Shore Employee	Outrageous. These billboards will cause death, injury and destroy our views - hardly native values! Pure profitmongering. Stop it now.
Wil Neal	North Shore Resident	I have First Nation friends and family who I fully support, but the 'public input' process was for appearances only. The signs are ugly, dangerous, and cheapen the look and feel of the area. Fully support a boycott of advertisers and suggest you post a running list of any companies placing ads on these boards.
Mark McDougall	North Shore Resident	these bilboards are hideous and also a traffic hazard. Other businsses in north van are not aloud to have large signs
chris	North Shore Resident
Peter W Pratchett	First Canadian Used Books
Campbell Robinson	North Shore Resident	We often are told how First Nation's people are stewards of the environment. The Squamish billboards put the lie to that supposition.
B Henderson	Vancouver Resident
N.R. Farrell
Nadine Harding	Vancouver Resident	The billboards destroy the natural beauty of Vancouver.
Ross Powell	North Shore (non-aboriginal) Native
Robert King	Kitsilano Resident	This petition is a good start but to really be effective the CFROA must organize a boycott of the purchase of good/services from ANY company that displays advertizements on these billboards. That is the best way for this group to be influential. Money talks!
chris calaminus	North Shore Resident	I am very opposed to these eye sores that will ruin our beautiful community and I will boycott any company that advertises on them.
Richard Radelet	Citizen
Sherri Crane	North Shore Resident
Natasha Little	Daily North Shore/Burrard Bridge commuter	UGLY UGLY UGLY!!!! Not to mention dangerous!!
Leia Cairms	Vancouver resident	These billboards are another unnecessary distraction to drivers. When will safety, the environment and common decency trump greed. I hope in my lifetime but I very much doubt it.
Richard Brunt	BC Resident	These eyesores detract from our beautiful province and are a hazard.
E Robinson	North Shore Resident	With the exception of signboards used for traffic signs and directions, we should minimize any visual obstruction near roads. People here are already distracted enough when they drive. Besides I'm tired of being subjected to constant advertising - it's even on our washroom doors!
H J Wheeler	BC resident	We will boycott all who advertise on the billboards.
Shirley Mansen	BC Resident	This is just wrong on so many levels. First Nations, please do the right thing and stop this!
philip howden	Concerned Vancouverite	Take 'em down.
Mike Dale	a distant observer	your fore fathers tricked and killed to get the land you call home. Fast forward you decide to live in a City a rather large city at that... I hope the Indians tell you where to take your whining. In the meantime suicide will get you all the peace and isolation you want. idiots will spend a billion dollars on concrete ugliness which you call an Olympics while people starve in the middle of your ugly Grey metropolis, shut up, it's already on my list of ugliest cities in the world !
Ian Allan	North Shore Resident	My family will definitely make it a point it a point to boycott anything advertised on these monstrosities!
Adrian Petrossian	North Shore Resident	We must have free, open, and honest leadership from the F\|irst Nations as well as the BC Government. No "behind the door" deals!
Norik Petrossian	North Shore Resident	It is dangerous enough driving on a three lane bridge, that is not wide enough!
Kathy Petrrossian	North Shore Resident	Not happy about this! No consultation from the Liberal Government.
Eddie	North Shore Resident	We must have a Referendum on this type of community decision making policies with ample public consultation.
Barb Snelgrove	Vancouver Resident	No, no and no, for all the most painfully obvious of reasons. Citizens are seldom listened to anymore, another shining example.
Joel Preszcator	Vancouver Resident
Kevin Lonergan
Scott Lockhart	Vancouver Resident	I will certainly boycott any company advertising by way of these eyesores.
Chris Gowing	West End Resident
Wayne Walsh	Kitsilano Resident	Boycott all who advertise.
John Manly	bc resident	I want no rules/freedoms that are based upon race. We're all different so we must all be treated the same. Otherwise Canada will continue on its downhill path.
V Patton	Vancouver Resident	Would it be possible to get sent an email of those who advertise on the billboards?
L Sutton	BC Resident
amelia doran	east van resident
bruce godin	east van resident
Robert Coles	North Shore Resident	I am against these billboards for two major reasons: Firstly, aesthetically they are an obscenity. Secondly, they represent yet another distraction (and therefore hazard) to road users. I will not be buying anything from any company that advertises on these billboards.
Robin Pallett
Peter Hickey	North Shore Resident
J Lawrance	North Shore Resident	We have beautiful views of mountains, the ocean, Lions Gate Bridge and everything else around. Don't block our great scenery with ugly billboards.
Jody Van De Kamp	North Shore Resident
Clare van Eck	Vancouver Resident	Totally opposed to this scar on the natural environment. It will be a driving hazard and an eyesore. It's a money grab and is being forced on the city residents. Will definitely boycott all advertisers.
Kathleen Larkey		This is not only a blight on the environment but also a safety hazard. The Squamish band is showing some very unimaginitive, short-term thinking. I will boycott all products and services advertised on these billboards.
James Wilford	North Shore Resident	I am shocked that our governments - local and provincial have allowed this.
Daniel Fowler	Vancouver Resident	We have by-laws against this type of thing. Just because they are native on "their" land shouldn't give them the right to do as they please and avoid the laws. I say on "their" land they should only be allowed to do the things that there elders did with no use of modern "White Man" technology. Go out in your dug out tree canoe and catch fish with your spears! They want the cake and eat it too!
Caroline Abraham	North Shore Resident
Hanson Lok	North Shore Resident	NO BILLBOARDS. Distraction to drivers, and if you say it's not a distraction then those companies aren't getting anything for their money anyways! Don't ruin our beautiful city's views.
Matt Wrong	North Shore Resident
Rob Reid	Richmond Resident w/ family on North Shore
Boyd Godfrey	North Shore Resident	Need a website with direct links to companies that are advertising on these eyesores.
Tieg Martin	North Shore Resident
Ralph von Pander	Concerned Citizen	I support a boycott of the the billboard company and all advertisers. CROA should make public and post those advertisers so citizens can boycott their products and the sign company too.
Robert Forbes	Vancouver Resident	One has to question where the billions of dollars Canadians spend through the Dept of Indian Affairs goes. There are so many examples of enterprising bands with highly successful businesses. The Squamish Nation is not poor by any stretch. Chief Dan George must me turning in his grave. This project is a blight on our environment and a black eye for the Squamish Nation. Of all people we think of our Natives as a guiding light for preserving nature. How sad this is for us all.
allison harry	North Shore Resident
Caroline Price	North Shore Resident
Michael McRae	North Shore Resident	Let's show them the tax payers do have a say. Any business advertising on these billboards will be boycotted across the North Shore and everywhere else. Everyone I know agrees.
Greg Howard	North Shore Resident	In terms of protecting First Nations heritage, it seems to me that the electronic biilboards desecrate rather than preserve the lands they control. At least everyone, F.N. included aren't talking about rights and acknowledging the billboards plain and simple as a money grab!
Sarah Berman	Vancouver Resident
Jill Lee	North Shore Resident	As a driver I know I am distracted by billboards, especially the electronic ones and especially when it is dark and/or rainy. This is very frightening.

Ralph Streich	North Shore Resident
Daryl Martin	North Shore Resident	True stewards of the land would not put profit before preservation. There are many ways to make a profit in a way that the whole community could welcome and enjoy (Park Royal South,for example). Back to the drawing board I say.

Delphia Johnstone	North Shore Resident	I will speak not only with my name on this petition, but I will also cease purchasing any product I see advertised on any of the billboards. I will also write to each advertiser and let them know why they have lost me as a customer.
Sean McLeod	North Shore Resident	Don't do it !!!!
Bernice Johnson	North Shore Resident
Carole Fraser	North Shore Resident	We have enough necessary and unnecessary signage now - do not polute our space with electronic billboards.
Barbara Martin	North Shore Resident	Education not billboards is the solution to First Nations economic development and viability.
Alan Nixon	North Shore Resident	We should be letting all advertisers know by an open letter that we will boycott their stores/services if they advertise on these boards!
Kevin Kennett	North Shore Resident	This is a major eyesore!!
KaLynn Hamilton	North Shore Resident	The billboards will be distracting, tacky, eyesores to all drivers passing through North Shore.

craig wallace	North Shore Resident	I suggest that this website keep track of advertisers and distribute their names here and on twitter to assist the boycott.
John Knight	Vancouver Resident	It seems that the citizens of Vancouver have no recourse to stop this from happening. These billboards will be another blight upon the landscape. What if the Squamish Nation knew that they would NOT make revenue from these signs because the general public committed to a ban on dealings with all companies choosing to advertise through these media?
Allan Kelley	North Shore Resident

Ken Bryden	North Shore Resident
Peter Ward	North Shore Resident	Absolutely absurd. Citizens should boycott all advertisers who rent space on these signs.
Barbara Arnold	North Shore Resident
Alison Raes	North Shore Resident	Signage is a hypocritical action by First Nations. Isn't their position to protect the environment? This is just another example of First Nations using their status to profit. When is the government going to represent the entire province/country, not just the special interests of First Nations?
Anne-Kristina Arnold	North Shore Resident
rae schidlo	North Shore Resident	If the public is concerned about safe driving and text messaging, won't electronic billboards be an added distraction to driving safely?
Nancy Argue	North Shore Resident	I am against the installation of electronic billboards on our Noth Shore which is envied by other municipalities for it's natural beauty. Let's keep it that way! Nancy Argue
Patrick Lee	North Shore Resident	Billboards are a distraction to drivers like myself. There are enough things to watch out for on the bridges like other vehicles we dont need or want advertisments to distract attention.

Howard Adam	North Shore Resident & business owner	ABSOLUTELY NOT!! It's disgusting that this can be allowed without consultation in one of the most pristine drives and neighbourhoods in the lower mainland. Why are such groups allowed get away with this when they do nothing but preach about "us" wrecking the environment and social fabric of society. It's hypocrisy, and I for one will NEVER purchase anything from anybody advertising along this highway!!

Diane MacNeal	North Shore Resident
Pauline and John Collins	North Shore Resident	I've admired the sentiments always presented by our Squamish neighbours regarding the preservation of our lovely natural heritage. Therefore I find it VERY difficult to understand how the eyesores of billboards square with this view. We have just returned from the U.S. where clutter and billboards trash the scenic beauty of the west coast - PLEASE don't do this to our lovely British Columbia.
D B Kirkham	North Shore Resident	It is ironic that Indian Bands, who are given the court created right to be consulted and accomodated in respect to every development on any land they claim (about 100% of BC), have no intention to consult much less accomodate on an issue that non Indians find outrageously offensive.
martha Demers	concerned lower mainland resident
Dawn Gibson	North Shore Resident	I don't know anyone who buys a product or service from a bill board sign. There is no better way to clutter our enviromment. Just drive along the highway at Nanoose Bay on the island or to Hope. Truly ugly and defaces our beautiful landscape

Robert ten Vaanholt	North Shore Resident	Once again I am appalled that a minority would be allowed to win out over a majority. Do we not pay enough already to our first nations friends to not have to also allow them to pollute our neighbourhoods with unsightly signs. At what cost did we agree to this?
Pia Collins	Vancouver Resdient	I support the ban on the installation of Electronic billboards anywhere in Vancouver.
Trish McMordie	North Shore Resident	This is a safety concern to say nothing of a horrific eyesore. We have bylaws restricting billboards. Everyone, including the Squamish Nation, should follow these laws.
Gayle Mackie	North Shore Resident	Billboards are a safety hazard, a botch on the landscape and symbolize everything that is wrong with crass commercialism. To allow their existence in these proposed areas is a disgrace and makes me sick to my stomach.
Cathy Zullo	North Shore Resident	My original opposition to the First Nations billboard scheme still stands.I am against it for two reasons; aesthetics and safety. The billboards will be an ugly blight on "our" environment and they will also cause driver distraction. When I am driving across the Lions Gate, the Iron Workers Memorial and the Burrard Bridges, I have to discipline myself to keep my eyes on the bridge traffic and not on the spectacular vistas of mountain, forest, ocean and city scapes; finding that I tend to swerve if I am distracted for more than a couple of seconds. It is also not a good idea to have eyes on advertising signage in what is often stop and go and/or merging traffic situations that require my full attention. If this is the kind of concern and stewardship of the environment that First Nations leaders envision, then I think we should take a strong lesson from this and understand that theirs is a vision that will take advantage of any dollar scheme. I believe the attitude here is that this is band land and the bands can do as they please with it. Certainly a first hand look at how the reserve lands and homes are cared for is ample proof to me that the environment means nothing to First Nations. As to the potential advertisers and their revenues, I will be more than happy to boycott not only the advertised products but all products and/or services produced by those companies and their subsidiaries for as long as they may see fit to run their billboard ads. On a final note, I am concerned that this scheme can only set an unfavourable precedent, the beginning of a bad trend - what next, Casinos? I hope our locally elected government representatives will take a very firm stand against this billboard plan which I am sure the greater community is not in favor of. I would hope that this will be their message to Ottawa on behalf of their constituents; those that voted for them as well as those that did not.

Calum Davidson	Squamish / North Shore Commuter	I am a Squamish resident, and daily commuter to North Van.

The road leading up to the Second Narrows Bridge are always busy and there are already so many things to be aware of as a driver (on ramps, off ramps, road signs, lower speed limit, extra lane beginning and ending).

Gregory Cohen	North Shore Resident	This is a disgrace! This is advertising pollution. We're already bombarded with undue advertising in our daily lives. This is also another distraction in addition to the numerous amounts of other distractions on the road (and on a bridge? come on!), which significantly compromises safety. I don't even think we need studies to figure that one out. What a terrible development.
Ruth and Keith Finney	North Shore Resident	We would definitely boycott any advertiser and would let them know that this is the case.

George Norgan	Vancouver Resident - Property Owner - Tax Payer	Should those billboards be erected the damage to the reputation to the Squamish Nation will be extensive and by far cause more long term damage then the short term money gain they hope will occur.

Shelly Harrison	North Shore Resident
Louise Aird	North Shore Resident	The only way to get rid of them now is to make sure that no one buys advertising on them. So we all need to write to those who buy space. Once the billboards cease to make money, they'll be gone. It's also a public relations nightmare, not only to advertise on them, but to sell the space for them.
Rob Mingay	North Shore Resident
Jamie Leigh	North Shore Resident	We are all responsible for being "good neighbours", protecting and beautifying the surroundings we live in. Installing these signs, in my opinion, is neglecting this responsibility. While I understand the need to make money this is not the best way in my opinion. I will not buy products from advertisers who use the signs. Thanks
Joseph Spitale	North Shore Resident	Our city is considered the one of the most beautiful cities in the world for a reason. I will boycott any company that advertises on these billboards.

Catlan Klarenbach	North Shore Resident
Jordon Klarenbach	Downtown Resident	I can't believe they've been approved for constructing one on the end of the Burrard Street and Lions Gate bridge as well. I mean the Trans-Canada is one thing, but the heart of a city and a beautiful one at that is terribly distasteful and shows a lot about the classless efforts of these money grabbers.
yes to billboards	North Shore Resident	I SUPPORT THE BILLBOARDS. First of all these signs will be on reserve land. Land that belongs to the Squamish Nation who have every right to erect the billboards. Billboards are a throwback to the past, remember when Vancouver did have billboards and it definitely made the city look more interesting. Just like all the neon the city once had. Note to Squamish Nation: Please conside large neon signs too. Bring back the lower mainlands' charm.

Mauricio Orozco	Mauricio Orozco Photography
Matt Clark	Vancouver Resident	Having grown up on the North Shore and now living downtown I am abosultuely disgusted with the idea of these billboards. I will support and encourage a boycott of any advertiser if these eyesores actually go up... You can bet that the 1200 'friends' of mine on face book are going to hear about my boycott plans as well!
Gordi Moore	North Shore Resident	Trees are an attraction, billboards a distraction. We have excessive amounts of advertising already ... and not enough nature.
Ed (Mt. Seymour)	North Shore Resident	I >will< write a boycott letter to each company that advertises on these eyesores. If CFROA can supply the top 50 outdoor advertisers list now, and the manufacturer, I will write now.
Bruce McDonald	Lower Mainland resident	Please don't!!
Lois Powell	concerned citizen	I am against all the ugly billboards that are located on Native reserves, not only that but the income generated from the advertisers is not taxable and natives on reserve land do not pay income or property tax. Reading electric or non electric billboards is a traffic hazard. Keep our scenery pristine.

David Leung	Vancouver Resident	Billboards represent a traditional way of life and must be maintained. /end sarcasm I think we all need to come up with better alternatives for development rather than create a potential for disagreement between neighbours. Projects do not create large environmental impacts but does create many social issues that also require assessment.
Darrell	Squamish Resident	I'm very disappointed with the Squamish Nation's proposed electronic sign. Please don't ruin our town with such an eyesore.
Kimmie Gourlie	Squamish Resident	We take pride in ourselves for living in the outdoor recreation capital and are striving for sustainability. Electronic billboards are steps backwards....way backwards.
Annette Hernandez	North Shore Resident	I live in Squamish and this is not going to be pretty to look at and it's bad enough to drive on the improved highway it's still dangerous
Colin KNAUF	North Shore Resident	Animated bill boards eat electricity, heat the outdoors and suck our attention out of our brain. They raise driving risk. For what? To create sales of things and bling. Stuff that keeps us working longer, to pay for; and further away from our families. Stuff (...just look at the word eh?) we don't need; which clutters our homes and later our landscape. When our dumps become the high points of our culture, we need to stop and check our priorities. To quote (paraphrase) Obama: "Sure its profitable, but is it right?" When vehicle accidents are our biggest cause of death. Do we need more distractions besides iPods, DVDs, Cell phones and all the other things dominating our minds already? Not in my humble opinion.
Darian Deering	vancouver resident	Billboards are spam, there is no benefit to society, only risk.

Richard Kortje	West Vancouver Resident
Larissa Morgan	North Shore Resident	Electronic billboards provide a dangerous distraction for motorists and, therefore, any other road user. An individual's right to safely go about their daily business is worth far more than any advertising revenue. Have the legal consequences of potential safety issues been thoroughly considered? Furthermore, electronic billboards can hardly be considered "green" or economic in terms of power usage - unless there is there some remarkable idea to have them solar powered, which somehow I think not. Surely the Squamish Nation can come up with a more original, safe, and environmentally sound proposal to generate revenue than electronic billboards. Lastly, I am baffled at the irony and contradiction evident in the causes some of the First Nations people are involved with, e.g. protest diamond mining but support electronic billboards.
Use Your Common Sense	North Shore Resident	The British Properties are the biggest eyesore of all. And what about the nearby W Vancouver sewage plant that members of the Squamish Band have had to live with for decades? Billboards provide much-needed income for the Squamish Nation in a sustainable, environmentally low impact, non-polluting manner. And you are offended by what you see from your polluting cars? You are all a bunch of hypocrites.

Arline McFarlane	North Shore Resident	The electronic billboards will be a dangerous distraction at the entrance to the Lions Gate Bridge especially when drivers from both North and West Vancouver have to converge onto a single lane to get on the bridge, which happens coming and going. They will also detract from the vistas of our beautiful North Shore. Anything for a buck. So much for the Squamish Bands love of the enviroment.

A. Smith	North Shore Resident	I am shocked and dismayed that the Aboriginal People are fighting to have billboards put up on the North Shore. I am always hearing and reading how the Aboriginal people are trying to preserve nature, and I agree with their beliefs in that respect; however, they are now willing to violate the North Shore scenery in one of the most horrific ways for money. Billboards would be an assault on the North Shore landscape.

Bernice Clark	North Shore Resident
Brent Wolverton	North Shore Resident	These signs would not be allowed in the municipality. They are dangerous and unsightly. They are being erected specifically to ruin the reserves neighbours view and prey on the reserves neighbours. The would in many jurisdictions be defined as visual polution. Please do not let them go ahead.
Janet Hunter-Doyle	Interested Party	I think these billboards are not only distracting they take so much away from the natural beauty of our enviroment no matter where you live.
Stacey Daman-Willems	North Shore Resident	Our society is already being bombarded by advertising. Its bad enough dealing with cell phone using, blackberry typing drivers. We surely don't need another distraction on our commute across the most spectacular view already in place.
Leah Chatfield	North Shore Resident	this is ridiculous
Matt Barry	North Shore Resident
James	North Shore Resident	We do not want to follow the same path as our neighbours and some of their states i.e. Florida/Miami/some parts of California & Seattle etc which is litered with Electronic Billboards - the whole beauty of the North Shore will certainly be interfered with! I think we get enough bombardment per day regarding advertising.
joel haskins	North Shore Resident	I am against it and encourage all to ban any business that chooses to advertise by these means. It's time that all Canadians become Canadians, like we chose to do 140 years ago, with the same rules

Brian Fowke	North Shore Resident
Nancy Eagles	North Shore Resident	Please let us keep the natural beauty which makes our hometown so special. Our children's children will thank you.
ian macnaughton	North Shore Resident	Given the First Nations concern with the honouring of mother nature this in it's principle does not align with those values, and as a eyeshore,a safety isuee - a distraction, and will lead to further resentment and a loss of repect for First Nation concerns. This action will lose much goodwill on my part towards their issues.
Rob Ferguson	North Shore Resident	I am absolutely against the proposed billboards
Ali Safari	North Shore Resident	This is the craziest idea and should be banned fo ever
Elly Kahnamoei	North Shore Resident	Don't put up billboards
Gervase Bushe	North Shore Resident	I'm sick to my stomach from the thought of degrading one of the most beautiful vistas in the world. What I find particularly galling is the howl of protest anytime anyone does anything without consulting first nations - but when they want to intrude on other communities they don't seem interested in consultation at all.
Graham	North Shore Resident
Jane Harper	North Shore Resident	These billboards are a hazard to driving, let alone anything else.
Ryan	North Shore Resident	Our natural enviromnent is already deteriorating, why spoil our land with unsightly electronic signs? The preferences of the local residents should be given first priority.
Julie	North Shore Resident	How disappointing - Squamish First Nations has a record of responsible stewardship while ensuring their citizens have employment opportunities. An effective, proactive approach. And yet, the visual degradation of the area with billboards seems so contrary to their basic values.
Carolyn McIntosh	North Shore Resident	I object most strenuously to the erection of any billboards,electronic or otherwise on our roadways.They represent an insult to our beautiful surroundings and our personal safety. They also represent the most basic problem with our world today, greed!

Birgit Brunner	North Shore Resident
jordan fiander	North Shore Resident
Kyla Daman-Willems	North Shore Resident	There are many other ways that a community can raise money without blocking the roadways, or ruining the landscape. The Squamish nation more than anyone should be fighting to protect our environment, not seeking to ruin it.
Lisa Jensen	North Shore Resident
Michael Arens	North Shore Resident	Fully understanding the want to generate funds using such technics i am not in favor of diminishing the natural beauty we have come to expect on the north shore, and in BC for that matter. One of our selling points still remains the closeness to nature inspite of our size and billboards tend to ditract from that. Although this is a fight which will enevitably be lost in the future as the population explodes to unmanagable numbers we have not yet reached that point and so i ask that this type of ugly commmmercialism be put off for some 50 - 100 years.
David Hannah	North Shore Resident
Jason Mogus	Kitsilano Resident	I would like to see governments take action to compensate or do creative development deals with the Squamish band instead of this horrible plan.

linda arens	North Shore Resident	The north shore is not the place for these billboards, we are very proud of our beautiful nature and are striving to keep the pureness for our children. Please do not destroy this with billboards. We are not Las Vegas. thank you
Scott Romses	North Shore Resident	I cant believe we're even considering this issue! Advertising has managed to invade every aspect of our private and public lives let alone our (Vancouver's) spectacular natural environment. The irony of the First Nations (Squamish Band), as "stewards of this land and nature", proposing this act of hypocracy is disappointing to say the least.
Jennifer Bell	North Shore Resident	I am surprised that the aboriginal people would propose such an ugly, unnatural eyesore added to their land. I grew up believing that the aboriginal people valued nature and were closer to nature then most. This is so wrong and such a sell out.
Ivan Marko	North Shore Resident	No, just no.
Eva Marko	North Shore Resident
jordon	North Shore Resident	i strongly believe in native rights. but not if they infringe on our rights to see our scenery
Leo Valdes	North Shore Resident	Any outdoor advertising that detracts from the natural beauty of our North Shore surroundings must be stopped.
Joy Jagger	North Shore Resident	I am deeply disturbed that the Squamish Nation has applied to put up these billboards. I respect their right to govern their own affairs, but when they are choosing to profit by the degradation of our community's beauty and safety, I feel the need to speak up. I hope they seriously consider the distress their proposal has had on the North Shore community and their relationship with the community and retract their application for these visual eyesores.

wendy middleton	North Shore Resident	If the 1st. nations truly revere nature, then surely they must see that any electronic billboards not only draw away from our beautiful scenery, but are an abomination and eyesore. We should not be held to ransome like this!
SANDI BUDDO	North Shore Resident
C. DiPasquale	North Shore Resident	Completely hypocritical of Squamish Nation to use this as means of fund-raising. Will desecrate existing vistas (someone said it best- could you imagine billboards on The Golden Gate Bridge?), extreme safety hazard, huge new source of light pollution, creating yet another habitat hazard to migrating birds in region. Will personally be BOYCOTTING ALL businesses who purchase advert space on boards if they go up and notifying businesses of this. Yes, First Nations need to settle land claims, and need fair treatment - both economically and socially. But a relatively affluent urban nation such as the Squamish Nation does not need this as a revenue source.
Mort Goulding	North Shore Resident
Andrew Aitken	North Shore Resident	Not much to say that hasn't already beens said. What an eyesore. Advertise on these and I for one will boycott your product along with all the people I know.

Al Ingram	North Shore Resident	North Vancouver resident. The raping of our beautiful scenery will will create a huge wedge between Native Peoples and alll other Canadian peoples. Visual polution will start a massive anti Native movement
Phil Dupasquier	North Shore Resident	I find it a short-sighted, obnoxious, hypocritical, abuse of privlige for the first nations people to believe they have the right to affect our community in this manner. Take the higher road and become examples for your children to follow.
Graeme White	North Shore Resident	The installation of the proposed billboards would so fundamentally change the look of feel of this iconic Vancouver landscape, collectively we should find a way to ensure that this never gets past a conceptual basis.
Christine D	East Vancouver Resident	Having once been a resident of the North Shore and having friends and relatives still living on the North Shore, I feel strongly about further soiling the visual landscape of one of the most beautiful parts of the Lower Mainland. Keep the billboards out!

Fiona Akins	North Shore Resident	My concern about these billboards is that they will allow private advertisments to degrade our public view corridors. This is one of a handful of Canada's most spectacular views, and for me personally, is a special part of coming home. I strongly urge the Squamish Nation and North Shore political representatives not to pursue this project. I am signing this petition to register my opposition to any billboards at any time in the future along this corridor. Thank you.

J McGrath	North Shore Resident	Please stop putting every bloody thing up for sale. I feel raped and gouged enough by what our lousy government is doing to us in B.C. I just came back from Kelowna where the advertising signs enroute to the city totally blockade any view of the lake. It's quite sickening to me that people act so HARD UP for the almighty buck that they destroy the natural beauty God gave us by putting it up for sale. Personally, I refuse to buy ANY ONE OF THOSE PRODUCTS ADVERTISED because of the destruction they've caused. Why don't we all do the same thing? What a shame to have to go to such lengths due to the greed of the advertising agency.
George Marlatte	North Shore Resident
Rob Pellatt	North Shore Resident	If the billboards proceed, and there is no reason to think that they won't, then as consumers, we should strongly resist buying products from those advertisers. This fact should be communicated in the press or other media.
Stuart Mohr	North Shore Resident	I believe that they would greatly compromise traffic safety and be an unavoidable distraction to not only safe driving, but also the natural scenery of the North Shore.

Naomi Sexsmith	North Shore Resident	Bilboards are very distractive. I will be boycoting any and all advertisers. These proposed signs are not part of our values.
Richard Cousins	North Shore Resident	We were here many decades ago before communities and governments finally acted to outlaw these visually offensive and intrusive structures that once littered the city, its bridges, the main roads and highways. To revert back, building even larger structures in the many sensitive bridge locations being proposed, defies the lessons of the past and community standards. They will impact countless thousands on a daily basis, visually ugly obstructions that will be so far out of place against priceless backdrops of city, mountain and marine scape. I add my voice and urgent hope that this initiative will receive reconsideration, that sounder heads will prevail to reverse this retro-march of very narrow commercial self interest.

Don Pudney	North Shore Resident	I do not want Bill Boards. They are an eyesore and look junky in such beautiful scenery.

Brett Macfarlane	Vancouver Resident	As a resident of Vancouver and an advertising professional I strongly feel that the short term financial gain by two parties (the reserve and Pattison Outdoor) are far less than the cost of destroying the enjoyment each resident and visitor to the area feels when seeing Vancouver and it's landscape at its finest when driving over the bridges.

Tracey Edwards	North Shore Resident
Rosemary Hayes	North Shore Resident	It will be a sad day for the beautiful North Shore if the Squamish Nation goes ahead with their plans to install the massive billboards for advertising purposes. While I do appreciate that income easily earned can sometimes be hard to resist, this is not worth the tradeoff. I cannot think that the Native Community would want to go ahead with something this damaging to the serenity of their own lives and those of all North Shore people.
Jane Corrigan	North Shore Resident	I am against the billboards in all locations proposed as I believe it is visual pollution; a negative illustration of our environmental message; and an eyesore to the tourists visiting our "beautiful" city. The comment I most often overhear by tourists is how beautiful our city is, what beautiful vistas, and what beautiful view corridors. These billboards will most definately change what people say about our city!
Jay Rowland	North Shore Resident	I an appalled that these eyesores are allowed. I think that these should be stopped to preserve the beauty of our city and environment.

When I go to other states and provinces I think the bill boards along the roads destroy the landscape and beauty of the countryside. We are bombarded with too many ads these days. One cannot escape it.Please stop moving forward with this plan.
Jill Mingay	North Shore Resident	People from around the world come to Vancouver because of the natural beauty in and around the city, and because of the way citizens demonstrate their love of and respect for this wonderful gift that we share. The proposed installation of billboards (electronic or otherwise) to be viewed from drivers on the Lions Gate Bridge flies in the face of all that we love about Vancouver, including the North Shore. It is my view that the Provincial Government should take a very strong stand against any signage that is designed to distract drivers with a message - commercial or otherwise - while approaching or driving on a bridge. The most important consideration is safety! There are enough accidents on our bridges now, without adding additional distractions. The second consideration is that a society that would permit billboards such as those proposed, obviously has absolutely no regard for the beauty that is our heritage to share with future generations. This heritage is owed to all Canadians! This plan is simply wrong! It must be stopped before it goes any further. If the will is there, a way will be found to stop the billboards. I fervently hope that reason will prevail.
Craig McEwan and Carol McEwan	North Shore Resident
Barbara Cairns	North Shore Resident
stephan graf	North Shore Resident	The arguement that it is on native land and they can do what they want is flaud. What also has to be taken into consideration is to whether these signs would be deemed obtrusive to the surroundings and the natural beauty and whether Federal and provincial bylaws are being violated. Just because I own my house and the land under it doesn't mean I can put whatever I want on it. I don't think the city or my neighors would allow me to put up a giant billboard in order to pay my obscene mortgage. The idea of seeing those hoffific signs like on the highway in westbank entering Kelowna distgusts me.
Ray Radke	North Shore Resident
Sean MacLeod	North Shore Resident	They don't want to keep their own gardens tidy and pretty. Their land is a shambles. DO NOT LET THEM DO IT TO OURS. THE BEAUTY BELONGS TO ALL OF US, WE MUST HAVE A SAY IN THIS.

kaitlyn ash	North Shore Resident	they are no reasons for this i do not understand ... it may benfit the first nations but honestly in the long run they are just an eye sore for the rest of the public to have to deal wiht... the beauty of vancouver especially the north shore is the natural, green open spaces why the hell would anyone including these people want to destroy the scenery.... stop thinking about money.. start thinking about the natural gorgeous environment that we live in

Stuart and Meg Clyne	North Shore Resident	Billboards were on the Burrard Bridge in the early sixties and an earlier petition got rid of them - what a relief. Why are we now going back to those horrors?
Linda Lowry	North Shore Resident	These billboards will be a blight on our community. There can't possibly be one good reason for putting them up. The negative reasons far outweigh the positive. I do hope the Squamish Nation will listen to the voice of their neighbours. Thank you
Marjorie McKay	North Shore Resident	I support the ban on the installation of electronic billboards on the North Shore. I think these billboards would be a visual distraction for motorists and thus a safety issue. The aspect of the North Shore which attracted our family to live here is the natural beauty which I think would be marred by the billboards.
Kim Pike	North Shore Resident

Geoff White	North Shore Resident	What a complete travesty!
Sarah Farris	North Shore Resident	The signs would be ugly, distracting and completely against the wishes of the community surrounding the First Nations land. I will not support any government who allows this to go ahead or any advertisers who would use these signs. Please do not ruin the entrance to the North Shore!
I Hafeez	Vancouver Resident	I can understand the 30 Million reasons to place the boards in the path of high traffic that often slows to a snail pace, but this action by the band is reckless and poorly thought out, and I am opposed to the installation of the electronic bill boards. If I were to suggest a solution going forward it would be to alot advertising space in a commercial area below the bridge as a negotiated transfer. Obviously the issue would be that the advertising company likely wouldn't pay. Simply put it is the advertising company that is driving this deal, and as they are non-native and non-resident they should be targeted by some legislation and protest. The city and taxpayers must make it clear to the advertising company that this is unsolicited by the drivers whom are being targeted, possibly a safety concern, a degrading blight to the cityscape, and against the tourism mandate of the city. Should we be placing billboards around Stanely Park and all our beaches just because people go there in high numbers? I haven't seen an example of this myself but maybe this is common in beautiful Mississagua, ON! What would happen if once the billboards were in place, the city raised the fencing on the bridge to hide the billboards from passing cars? What will happen when the general public starts boycotting the Ontario advertising company and its products/clients? I believe this Ontario company has underestimated the activism in BC and the staying power of this endevour. I only see bad karma here. Practical solution is to bring in the landscape artists and line the southern part of the bridge with tall bushy trees to block the Bill boards (the band wins cause they have a long term contract and the drivers don't see the ads). My fantasy solution is to finally buld a tunnel and open the bridge to bicylists and joggers!
Sam Stumborg	North Shore Resident	What a way to ruin the north shore.

Jennifer Keates	Downtown Resident
J Wells	North Shore Resident	In a world so beautiful why would anyone ,especially the First Nations, want to create such ugly and potentially dangerous structures? Beauty reaches into the soul and enhances wellbeing ;uglyness is destructive and harmful.I am totally opposed to the Billboards and urge the Squamish Nation to reconsider their proposal. Do they want their present and future grandchildren to be ashamed of their actions?
Patty Kilgour	City of Vancouver homeowner/resident
Nancy Quilty	North Shore Resident	How can we even consider placing these ugly monstrosities on our beautiful North Shore? Not only would they be a dangerous distraction to drivers, but they would also be a disgusting eyesore to see everytime you come and go from North or West Vancouver. Is this the message we want to give to our 2010 visitors? I will boycott any businesses who advertise on the signs. Squamish Nations, find another way to bring in the cash!!
B. Robinson	North Shore Resident	Hopefully this "development" will be stopped before it's too late.
Tony Launay	North Shore Resident	If we are really concerned about sustainability and preserving the beauty of the North Shore then why don't we stop the constant development up the mountains???

Bruce Hewer	North Shore Resident	I totally agree with Liza!!!!
Glen Carroll	North Shore Resident	Don't do it.
Anne Carroll	North Shore Resident	This is an ugly idea for a beautiful place.
Liza Greaven	North Shore Resident	A question for the native committee who dreamed up this unbelieveable project... Have any of you stopped to considered how your Elders would feel about this project? Over 35 year ago I had the honor of meeting Chief Dan George. He was truly the wisest person I have ever met. To this day I often hear his voice speaking about respecting nature and the beauty and bounty that it offers us. I honestly believe he (and all of your Elders for that matter!) would be shocked at the thought of this project even being entertained! Let's keep BC Supernatural!! NO TO BILLBOARDS!!
Cindy Joyce	North Shore Resident	It would take too much away from the beauty of the North Shore.
David Joyce	North Shore Resident	There are too many distractions while driving already.
Edna Lawrence	North Shore Resident	I will not patronize any business that uses the electronic bill-boards.
Sandi Mustard	Vancouver Resident	I oppose these billboards and would boycott any business that advertises on them. Erecting these eyesores would, in my mind, label the band as valuing money over all else. I hope the band is able to use this public opposition to negotiate a fair settlement from those who may compensate them for NOT putting up these billboards.
Rudy Lawrence	North Shore Resident	Shame on those responsible for putting business interests ahead of maintaining the natural beauty of the North Shore by placing Billboards to promote their own self-interest.
Diane Wykes	North Shore Resident
Bushra Mahdi	North Shore Resident

I had always heard what a beautiful city Vancouver was and when I first arrived here on holiday many years ago I was absolutely stunned at it's beauty. Why put up these ugly billboards that will take away the fabulous scenic view?
carol macwhirter	North Shore Resident
lorilee mallek	North Shore Resident	Please consider putting the signs on the approach to North and West Vancouver as rational as putting the same sign on your driveway
BRIAN MCDONALD	North Shore Resident
Louise Nicholson	North Shore Resident	I do not support any kind of billboard on the North Shore!
Grant Gardiner	North Shore Resident	It is disgusting that anyone would even consider such an ugly addition to our beautiful community, I would support any vandalism that would result in the destruction of these billboards.
Charlotte Campbell	North Shore Resident	The North Shore Prides itslef upon the natural beauty. Putting in Billboards would ruin this beauty. Please do not let the north shore become just another suburban expanse. Leave the billboards downtown!
Ashley	North Shore Resident	Billboards are ugly,they ruin the scenery and are not needed.just a waste of money and space.
Jim Heinmiller	North Shore Resident	Please do not install billboards - or electronic signage - to the Lions Gate Bridge area. Such a move would be a sad reflection on who we are as a society.
Janice Lilley	North Shore Resident	The billboards represent a gross infringement on the collective values we share and support within our communities. Our goal should be to live harmoniously together and not get dragged back into a meaner more selfish time.
Kelly Sturzenegger	North Shore Resident
Katrina Stobbart	North Shore Resident	Unwarranted, tacky, big scars in our beautiful city.
Carole Burdett	North Shore Resident	so much for "the beauty of our land"
Lesley	North Shore Resident	The construction of billboards would be a blight on the beautiful natural landscape of the North Shore. I'm very disappointed in the native peoples who support this initiative as it contradicts their statement proclaiming love for the splendours of nature. All of the residents and visitors to the North Shore should be allowed as unfettered a view of the surrounding area as possible. I will not purchase anything from the companies that choose to advertise using billboards that unnecessarily adversly affect the beauty of our surroundings.

Saira S. Fowlstone	North Shore Resident
S. Robinson	North Shore Resident	Please don't let this beautiful neighbourhood become spoilt by some cheap and nasty looking advertising bill boards.
Juan Carlos Pinillos	North Shore Resident	I do not see why this is even up for debate. How will these signs bring any good? If anything it will destroy our wildlife like environment. Please think of the city's image before making this major decision.
Allan Cobbett	North Shore Resident
Thomas Hughes	North Shore Resident	IT's never been that way and should not turn into a cheap Americanized looking eye sore
Keith Fowlstone	North Shore Resident
Holly Skowronek	North Shore Resident
Dawn Moore	North Shore Resident	I have always been proud that our communities forgo the revenue of billboards and opt instead for an environment free of visual pollution. The proposal by the Squamish Nation to install billboards is a real disappointment to me. The Squamish Nation no doubt has the right to permit the construction of these advertising spaces but I consider their installation insensitive-to the visual environment and to all of their neighbors who will be subjected to them. Whenever I see the billboards on the approach to Victoria or Kelowna I have remarked on what a shame it is to see the natural beauty of the area marred. They block scenery and are very distracting to a driver. I considered it very socially regressive to see signboard after signboard in a small area. Surely there are other, better ways that the Squamish Nation can earn money than by installing billboards. Any person or community must make ethical choices when earning income and, to me, this is an unethical choice. I respectfully ask the Squamish Nation to reconsider their decision. I ask our governments to engage in action to dissuade the Squamish Nation from installing billboards at the approach to the bridges. Our view corridors and our visual access to nature are invaluable.
Stan Shackell	North Shore Resident	The communities exert considerable effort and expense to beautify our north shore. This is the complete antithesis of those efforts. I will boycott the products and businesses that advertise should this ill conceived project go ahead. Better yet, let's make it known now before they proceed
Rick Harrison	North Shore Resident	I thought these eye sores were consigned to history years ago...now the Squamish band want to ressurect them again??? That is not progress and it is not right...
Iain Stewart	North Shore Resident	I'm appalled at the potential of billboards popping up on Squamish Nation controlled land on the North Shore. The Squamish Nation is one of the wealthiest nations in Canada and constructing billboards for additional income while still receiving financial support from tax payers is atrocious. I will certainly boycott any business (local or global) who advertise on these billboards.
P. Barker	North Shore Resident
Leanne	North Shore Resident
christine Macarthur	North Shore Resident
Jonathon McNair	North Shore Resident	We will not support any businesses that advertise on the billboards
Alson McNair	North Shore Resident	We will not support any businesses that advertise on the billboards.
Larry Millar	North Shore Resident	It is one thing to protest, which I agree with, but it would be much better to offer an alternative. I'm prepared to pay more property tax, as a NS resident, to offset the loss to the Squamish First Nation. I understand they have the right to do it, so what is the chance of a protest by us of succeeding? Probably NIL.
Kristine McKinnon	North Shore Resident	Vancouver is a city known worldwide for incredible beauty. Don't pollute it with Electronic Billboards.

Lynn Broman	North Shore Resident	Having just travelled in some areas of BC and being able to immediately identify Indian land by the presence of billboards, I find the local initiative most disappointing.

Lauren V Priest	North Shore Resident	When something benefits only one group of people but effects everyone there needs to be a public consensus. Also in a time where we are gearing up for the Olympics and trying to make our land as beautiful as possible why would you even consider doing this? I think it is a horrible idea and would not support any bussiness that would advertise there.
Laura Berardinucci	North Shore Resident	I am appalled that a group of people, who supposedly are so concerned with the environment, would chose to commercialize the natural scenery for their own financial gain, not to mention also putting drivers at risk.
shane christian	North Shore Resident
tammy christian	North Shore Resident
Steve Wilson	North Shore Resident	I can't imagine, in an era of electronic media and environmental consciousness, why West Van should even consider permitting the additon to our wonderful landscap, of old-fashioned, hideous, and intrusive billboard advertising.
Jennifer Letford	North Shore Resident
John Elliott	North Shore Resident
Colleen Walker	North Shore Resident	I am opposed to such advertising. Not only would they be an insult to the natural beauty of the north shore, but I believe they would cause motorists to be distracted and thereby contribute to automobile accidents.
Gabriela Dobre	North Shore Resident	We should appreciate the beauty of North Shore and keep it like that for the next generations... Please, do not polute it with advertising ;)
Kristen Guichon	North Shore Resident
Janet Baur	North Shore Resident
mark lester	North Shore Resident	preserve the beauty of the entrance to the North Shore. If these billboards are erected, I would not support any of the businesses that advertize on them.
pauline jans	North Shore Resident	While I believe in what I do in the arena of advertising & marketing, I also believe in assuring a healthy & balanced life. We have enough mediums to advertise on. What we need to assure is that nature is still accessible to people without them having to be a hiker or athlete. So we mustn't block nature with large bright panels filled with or promoting artificial "STUFF"!
Don Panchuk	North Shore Resident	Preserve the beauty of the North Shore and discourage distraction which may cause traffic accidents.
nina sym	North Shore Resident	We should stop all the billboards, also the election billboards in the furture!
Cyndie Gilley	North Shore Resident	I understand the desire to generate income but there has to be somewhere to draw the line!!! We live in the most beautiful part of the lower mainland - right on the side of the mountains - and it seems a shame to litter it with commercialism, and with lights to boot. It is hard enough to see the stars in the city as it is. Let's not add to the unnecessary brightness and waste of electricity that we already experience.
Dusty Hagerud	North Shore Resident	The North Shore's Beauty and natural Habitats do not need the the generalized and often insulting, whether morally or ethically, Corporate distractions on a busy freeway that is stressful enough to pay attention to while behind the wheel of tons of metal, plastic and explosive fuel with the current speed limit that is never adhered to. There are daily accidents inhibiting traffic already and we do not need to add to it for the topical subject of coin. We already are bombarded with media from print to television and on the very computer I am typing on. We are a consumer society, that has been established. The North Shore is the most beautiful of the Vancouver area because of it's beauty and charm. Lets try and maintain that for 2010. Sincerely Concerned, Best regards, Dusty Hagerud North Shore Resident and Member of the Community.

Joe Maga	North Shore Resident	Not only am I opposed to signs, I will Boycott the products that are advertised on signs if it does go through.

brian bennett	North Shore Resident	I feel the businesses that would select/utilze this form of advertising are as uncaring about the asethetics of our community as those who provide this type of venue. I also feel its a legal double standard to allow a select section of the population to adverstise like this.

gareth ronald-jones	North Shore Resident	I'm simply against billboard advertisment.
Chuck Vidalin	North Shore Resident	Build and advertise on these billboards at your own peril. Boycott the advertisers and ALL of the Squamish Nation business ventures. Squamish Nation is already the richest Band in North America...they don't need to do this!

Spencer Topliss	North Shore Resident	The landscape under the Lions gate bridge on the North Vancouver side is already getting hard enough to look at. Adding these signs would be a brutally unnecessary eyesore. Do Not Install the Billboards!!
Hilary Carpenter	North Shore Resident	I thought billboards where a thing of the of the past.This is visual polution and we must prevent this from taking place. May common sense prevail.
Donalda Jeffrey	North Shore Resident	Sign are unsightly on our beautiful landscape. Please don't do it.
Joan McKone	North Shore Resident
Peter Thompson	North Shore Resident
Tammy Stothers	North Shore Resident	Leave the beautiful scenery as is.
Eric Fletcher	North Shore Resident	Just say no! I've worked with the band, they are bright people. They must be convinced to consider the affect these will have on the natural beauty of the area and to temper what they do accordingly. Failure to do so will get them a short term financial reward with some very high long term costs in terms of the perception of their intentions leading to little cooperation and, I fear, some pretty high maintenance costs on anything that is particulary unsightly.
Devon Miller	North Shore Resident	i don't want any crazy, giant lightup flashy billboards to look at as i drive over the First Narrows the mountains are good enough thanx.
Joan Gilbert	North Shore Resident
Andrew Gilbert	North Shore Resident	I have lived on the north shore for 35 years - this blatant money grab by the Squamish ' nation ' is a joke , a slap in the face for al who live here . Enough is enough - we dont want these unsightly and unnecessary monster bill boars polluting the environment.
Anne Mayall	North Shore Resident	I will not buy from any billboard advertisers. While I respect the Squamish Nation in developing their land and ecomic potentials, this is not the way.

joseph geszler	North Shore Resident
Jessica Fekete	North Shore Resident	I don't beleive that we need more product placement in the world. Isn't TV/Movies/Magazines enough? Only put them where normal street signs would be, on highways overhead as we pass - to let us know where we're going, and if there are amber alerts for missing people, road conditions up ahead - things like that. That's all we need on the road. Advertisements are like cell phones on the road. And cell phone use on the road is like driving drunk. How can the city be so hypocritical!
Danielle Stokes	North Shore Resident	North Vancouver is a beautiful place, why spoil it with billboards on the side of highway?! That would only serve to cheapen us. Perhaps more tourist information booths yes... Billboards? No!
Linda Robertson	North Shore Resident	First Nations people need to find other ways of gaining much needed funds for their people. This will only alienate the public against First Nations causes.
Geert Ode	North Shore Resident	I am horrified having bill boards of this kind in Vancouver and North Vancouver. When I drove through Oregon in the 60th,70th etc. I was appalled how the scenery is made ugly. Vancouver is known as a beautiful city and that reputation will suffer. Many visitor at the olympics will not be impresseed.
Ron Spence	North Shore Resident	One of the worst things to happen to the area would be the huge billboards that are planned. I have to ask, "would this be allowed to happen outside of the First Nations lands?" I seriously doubt it.
Bridget Sacks	North Shore Resident
Jonathan Duckles	North Shore Resident
Alison Waters	North Shore Resident	I am supportive of Native communities making money off the land as "white" people have done so for many years but these billboards are not the answer.

Carl and Barbara Eifler	North Shore Resident	We will boycott all products advertised on the billboards, as will all our friends, associates, family, etc. Theyt did away with these ugly things in the 50's because they were an eyesore, why would you want to bring them back !
Wendy Lee	North Shore Resident	Billboards just add more visual clutter in an already busy transportation corridor. Why not plant trees alongside instead, have the municaipalities on the north shore pay the band to offset lost revenue and dedicate the trees that are planted to helping with GHG emissions in the environment?
Les Fowler	North Shore Resident	All Billboards are a form of visual pollution. This is particularily true in open areas such as planned here. The worst case is along the Pat Bay Highway from the airport to Victoria.

Liz Byrd	North Shore Resident	Visual pollution of our beautiful north shore
Jacquie Morgan	North Shore Resident	I am shocked to see that a First Nations group whose basic beliefs, as I understand them, are to preserve and nuture our environment would propose to scar the natural beauty of our municipality with billboards.
Shannon Jones	Vancouver Resident
Wayne Audette	North Shore Resident

Angela Hill	North Shore Resident & Marketing Manager	As a Marketing Manager, I understand why the Squamish Nation may think they will increase revenue from the use of billboards. However, what they do not realize is that Vancouver is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live because we are not surrounded by billboards and other forms of outdoor advertising. The city of Vancouver and other surrounding municipalities have worked hard to regulate this form of advertising in areas where they are not appropriate. I am appalled that the Squamish Nation has disregarded this and is planning to go ahead with this idea despite public outcry and clear bylaws. I will make sure that all my colleagues know that advertising on these billboards in question will harm their sales. Most Vancourites as well as I will make sure the Squamish Nation DOES NOT profit from this business venture by boycotting each and every advertiser that displays their logo on these billboards. TO ALL PETITIONERS: MAKE SURE TO SEND THIS PEITION TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN BUSINESS. MAKE SURE THAT INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES KNOW THAT ADVERTISING ON THESE BILLBOARDS IS BAD FOR THEIR BUSINESS BEFORE THEY MAKE THE MISTAKE.
James Ennis	North Shore Resident	This is a clearcut case of conflict of commercial and community values. The fact that there are multiple communities involved (West Vancouver and Squamish Nation) should not be an obstacle to the succesful resolution of this conflict. as far as i know, no individual or nation can legally or morally do whatever they want on their own land without regard to how this might affect others beyond those borders. For example if Canada planned a toxic waste site next to the U.S. border, U.S. residents would reasonably have something to say about this, and negotiations would ensue. Surely negotiations can resolve this conflict.
Jay	North Shore Resident
Norm Epp	North Shore Resident	I oppose this American style advertising pollution, but appreciate that Squamish people should be compensated for loss of revenue.
Michael Diebolt	North Shore Resident
Lisa Ogilvie	North Shore Resident
Sarah Fenton	North Shore Resident	all around bad taste move in general.
glenn murrayq	North Shore Resident	funny- how many of you minded the "natural beauty" of the north shore being taken away to make room for your home?
Caroline Chambers	North Shore Resident	The North Shore is one of the most beautiful areas (if not THE most) in the Lower Mainland. Please preserve its natural beauty! These billboards will become a target for vandalism & an eyesore in our community.

In a world of so many lush and dynamic mediums for advertisement, large obnoxious billboards on the side of the road (which will only distract and alienate motorists) are a very should be an anachronism.

Leanne Boguski	North Shore Resident	I would definately boycott anyone advertising on the boards

Traci Tapp	North Shore Resident	Let's keep our natural setting unpolluted!
Marlene Kumnick	Vancouver Resident	I am strongly against billboard advertising for all of the good reasons others have stated - I call it "eye pollution". In addition, I would boycott the companies that choose to advertise in this manner, and would like to see Industry affirm that they would not advertise on billboards for the very same reasons.
John T.Hoyle	North Shore Resident
M simoneau	North Shore Resident
Ray Rogers	North Shore Resident	These structures will be a true eyesore. I hope people are prepared to boycott every single advertiser who chooses to support this endeavour.
Judy Perkins	North Shore Resident	Take A look at the Saanich Penninsula from Patricia Bay Highway & Mt Newton Cross Road as an example of how atrocious these signs are.They have been there for decades and contiually increase in number

Lynda Atherley	North Shore Resident	When addressing the non-aboriginal public, First Nations leaders have always stressed the importance of proper stewardship of the land. Ugly, disfiguring billboards blighting the landscape are hardly an example of responsible stewardship. In the 18th C, Irish poet Oliver Goldsmith, observing the gradual decay and disfigurement of his own countryside said, "Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:" Sadly, human greed for wealth continues unabated - this time in the form of billboard advertising. Shame on the Squamish Nation!!
Robert Chenier	West End Resident
Dr. Jeffrey Orr	North Shore Resident	this is an untenable and thoughtless action which abuses the residents of the north shore even as it raises money by using them as customers.

rob campbell	North Shore Resident	Please do not destroy the beautiful view that we have.
Janet Molnar	North Shore Resident	These are a needless and ugly eyesore. A distraction from the natural beauty of Vancouver.
Lorraine Crump	North Shore Resident	I urge the Squamish Nation to please abandon the idea of erecting these gigantic billboards as a revenue source. The damage this project will inflict on our beautiful landscape, the needless environmental toll the bright lights will add to our already compromised earth, and the hard feelings that will result between the Squamish Nation and the local communties are all costs that would seem to outweigh any amount of monetary gain . I would definitely boycott any advertisers on these billboards. As a side note, I see in the Envornmental Assessment Report that the Squamish Nation has decided to decrease the number of signs at all their planned locations to appease community relations--that is except for the six on the Second Narrows Bridge. Is there some discrimination going on here?

Fred Holmes	North Shore Resident	Should these billboards go ahead I would endorse a movement to boycot any business that advertised on the billboards.
C E McLean	North Shore Resident	Keep Vegas style advertising off the North Shore. Preserve our natural setting as much as possible. It's bad enough with the negative impact all the high rises have had on the look of the North Shore, without making matters worse through annoying electronic signs.
Richard McLean	North Shore Resident

Gary West	BC tax payor and concerned citizen	Laws in Canada shou;d be for everyone not one law for one group and another law for another group. If the First nations are so concerned about thier lands why are they so quick to destroy them to make a dollar?
Kevin Vallely	North Shore Resident
Fen	North Shore Resident	It's degerous to drivers and ugly to the enviroment.
Bill Claridge	North Shore Resident	I find it puzzling that the native coummunity would be so "in your face" regarding the bill board issue. I have lived on the North Shore for over 40 yrs and have always thought the two communities respected each other and attempted to live in harmony with each other.
Mirelle Dillon	Vancouver Resident
Rachel Milstein	North Shore Resident	The entire appeal of Vancouver is its natural beauty, and polluting the skyline with something as pointless as billboards is ridiculous.

valerie clark	vancouver island resident	keep b.c. green !!! billboards are ugly and distracting. and especially unsafe
Margareth A. Dolmage	North Shore Resident	We live in the one of the most beautiful cities in the world why block any of natures wonder. Lets not copy our neighbours to the South. The first Nations people have been very vocal about THEIR LAND and how they respect their land and all creatures that live on it and trees that grow there, so why do they feel the need to destroy the Natural wonder. Is it all about the almighty dollar?
SHARON HICKS	North Shore Resident	Please do not erect Billboards on the North Shore.
Barry Lunseth	North Shore Resident	There must be a better way to make money. Putting up a billboard means you don't have to do anything to continue earning money. Novel idea if it wasn't so distasteful.

Wayne Byrd	North Shore Resident
P. Pinsk	North Shore Resident	I think that this would destroy the little bit of beauty that is left in our city. It seems that for the most part people that don't live here are making horrific decisions that affect those that do live here. Can you imagine the Golden Gate bridge with signs slapped all over it? Decisions should not all be about the almighty dollar. people want to see "Beautiful BC" is its natural state. Besides - do we really need more distractions for drivers that are already dealing with cell phones, screaming kids in the back seat, and a latte between their legs?! Something tells me that with the already stressed out, overstimulated drivers on this bridge, more in-your-face stimulation is not the answer!

helen keyes	North Shore Resident	this is fantastic that you are doing this, thanks..it is a terrible idea to put billboards on such scenic and historic sites
Marc Soulliere	North Shore Resident	I am opposed to erecting any type of billboard advertising on the North Shore - they are distracting to drivers. We have enough problems as it is with other distractions on bridge approaches...safety should be first on the agenda, and not advertising. Would the Fed please take a stand on this issue and stop this from moving forward. Thank you.
Marc Soulliere	North Shore Resident	Not only will this destroy the natural beauty that the North Shore has, it is a potentially dangerous distraction to drivers.
Denise Soulliere	North Shore Resident	I have been a North Shore tax paying resident for over 5 years and normally do not get involved in issues like these, but I feel quite strongly against allowing these signs. Not only will this destroy the natural beauty that the North Shore has, it is a potentially dangerous distraction to drivers and I would certainly not want to buy products advertised on them.
Carole Partrick	North Shore Resident
Gavin Manning	North Shore Resident	It is incredible to me that anyone is seriously discussing the possibility of putting up billboards on the approached to the North Shore. It would be a travesty if this went ahead.
Daryl Remmler	North Shore Resident
Peter Gladden	North Shore Resident	Billboards usually make me feel inadequate about my girlfriend, personal style/ prestige or possessions. I would be much better off not getting subliminally attacked as I drive through life. -Who benifits from billboards? If I have a need I can find out where to solve it without a billboard! Do the right thing please!!!
Janet Humphrey	North Shore Resident	I believe the FN Band to be one of the wealthiest in the province given their location, assets & income sources. This idea is inconsiderate to neighbours and visitors alike. The loss of view is a secondary concern to the increased risk of accidents present in billboarded areas. My respect for the Band as a community member has diminished. I will not support any advertisers.
Michelle	North Shore Resident	Don't spoil one of the few stunning areas left in the world. Keep it special and safe...
MR & MRS W. MARCHANT	North Shore Resident	THIS IS A SICK PROPOSAL BY NATIVES TO MAKE US MAD! WHAT HAPPENS TO THE $7 BILLION WE PAY THEM ANNUALLY, PLUS THE MILLIONS FROM PARK ROYAL LAND?

Pamela Hansen	North Shore Resident	I do not like billboards anywhere, whether it's an industrial area or a residential area. I also do not like the building going on up the mountain by other, non-First Nations, rapacious capitalists or the uglification of West Vancouver with its view-obstructing highrises. I'm sorry to see the North Shore Squamish Nation following the destructive, anti-environment and tasteless examples of structures that already scar the North Shore.
Audrey Beugger	North Shore Resident	Please stop the installation of the billboards. They will be horribly unsightly and will cause a hazard to traffic. I hate driving through cities that have billboards. They cheapen the place and take away from the natural beauty. We are proud to live on the North Shore and don't want to have to look at these billboards all the time. I will boycott any company that advertises this way if they do go ahead. Please do all that you can to STOP them from going in. They will definitely spoil the North Shore
Deb Fayle	North Shore Resident
Corey Tawiah	North Burnaby resident
Sarah MacDonald	North Shore Resident	I would definitely boycott any products or services so advertised. There is absolutely no question about it!

Marie Payette-Falls	North Shore Resident	For all the afore-mentioned reasons and more I wish to add my name to the petition banning the installation of electronic billboards, i.e. visual eyesores, on the North Shore and this, in order to maintain what is currently a visually breathtaking & safe community. We live in community and so the impact of any decisions we make needs to be weighed. In this case, it's in the best interests of the majority living on the beautiful North Shore to not erect these billboards. Hopefully common sense rather than greed will prevail.

cynthia richardson	lower mainland Resident	I am against the installation of Electronic Billboards on the North Shore because It would produce light pollution therefore interfere with local residents sleep pattern. Also, the billboards would block our view of the mountains and ocean. I feel that the billboards proposed, are a detriment to our natural environment. Let's not obstruct our vision with bright billboards and instead admire and embrace what we already have,our beautiful naturel scenery.
Susan Pitcher	North Shore Resident
Greg Larson	North Shore Resident	Why would one of the richest bands in north america want to do this? The government should give them more money and shut them up! They now are making them selves look even more worse in the public eye!

Brooke Marshall	North Shore Resident
T. Johnstone	North Shore Resident
Anna Eppel	North Shore Resident	Billboards in this area would be an eyesore, a distraction and safety hazard to motorists, they add a tawdriness to wherever they are erected. For a good example of a billboard eyesore, check out the stretch of Patricia Bay Hwy between Mt Newton Cross Rd and Island View Rd on the way to Victoria from Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal. The worst abomination is the huge blinding & flashing hazard of a billboard at the corner of Blanshard & Caledonia Street in front of the Save-on-Foods Arena in Victoria. Everyone is outraged, but the city refuses to have it removed. Don't allow this to happen in North Vancouver.

People travel from all over the world to visit our beautiful city; this will change Vancouver! 1 or 2, but not on every corner and so close together? Do they need to be near crosswalks? Drivers need to concentrate on the traffic and pedestrians, not Billboards! This is ridiculous; it's going to look like Vegas all lit up! Or worse just like every other Big City!!! What happened to Beautiful British Columbia?

Helen Hague	North Shore Resident
Croft Carlsen	North Shore Resident	I have visited cities in various parts of the world where billboards are prevelant. They are an eyesore. The Olymics are coming, is this how we want to greet the people of the world? This is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, lets keep it that way. NO TO BILLBOARDS.
Heather Black	North Shore Resident	Please do not ruin the beauty of the North Shore with senseless advertising - we get enough of it in the papers and on the TV.
Bruce Alexander	North Shore Resident	These billboards would significantly detract from one of the North Shore's greatest attributes - its natural beauty. Their introduction would be a travesty.
Chris Harris	North Shore Resident	We do not need to commercialize our public viewing areas anymore than they are. I fully support First Nation bands to make money, but consideration for the community should be taken into account.

J.	North Shore Resident	No thank you!
L. Agnew	North Shore Resident	I would not want to see these advertising signs placed in the locations indicated - this would take away too much from our local beauty which is enjoyed by our many visitors. I do not want to see them errected. Thank you.

Richard Kunz	North Shore Resident
Carolyn Hayden	North Shore Resident	The North Shore is known for its natural beauty. It would be terrible to detract from this with billboards. Also, as someone who drives regularly in large US cities that have billboards along freeways, I find them very distracting. Don't know if there are statistics suporting a link between accidents and billboards, but I would not be surprised if there were. Thank you for your initiative in circulating this petition. And since it is all about the money, should this pass despite public opinion, I will NOT support the advertisers using the billboards.
dora	North Shore Resident
Paul Giesbrecht	North Shore Resident	This would be an outrageous scar on the face of our beautiful landscape, a tacky way to abuse the vistas that we all enjoy and pride ourselves on as North Shore residents in exchange for dollars that could me made in a multitude of other non-destructive ways!

David C. Carkeek	North Shore Resident	I am disgusted at the fact that this ridiculous initiative is even being considered by who I thought were reasonably intellectual individuals! Clearly I was wrong!! This outrageous money-grabbing proposal should be trashed before any further time is wasted on such a blatant lunacy! I have not worked hard at living in an area of pristine beauty to have in-your-face advertising thrust at me without any option on my part to ignore! TV and Radio advertising leaves the option to view or hear up to the viewer/listener - this is how it should stay!!!

Elisabeth Zoffmann	GVRD Citizen	I think billboards are unsightly and distracting for drivers. I personally make sure that I do not purchase anything advertised on billboards - whether it is beer soap or cars. Perhaps the advertisers can pay the Squamish Nation to not put up advertising? I wonder if the Nation is supporting having billboards right in the middle of their communities?
Jessica Holbek	North Shore Resident
Teresa McKinley-Harris	North Shore Resident	Billboards are an eyesore to begin with but "electronic" billboards? What a complete waste of energy in a time when we need to become more conservative and aware of what we are doing to our environment.
Mohamed Somani	North Shore Resident
lyndia scott	North Shore Resident	I am in total agreement with any plans to prohibit billboard signage on or near either the Lion's Gate or the Ironworker's Memorial bridges. Eyesores, indeed. Safety hazards? Absolutely.
Adrian Partridge	North Shore Resident
Sam Jenkins	North Shore Resident	Sell sell sell
Joanne B Mellquist	North Shore Resident	All property owners must and should use their property in a manner that is respectful of their neighbours. This is why we have bylaws such as the noise bylaw, the building height restrictoins rules etc. This use of property is disrespectful to the property owners of the north shore and as well the west end of Vancouver.Property values will be compromised...

E. Boehm	North Shore Resident	I find it hard to believe this is being seriously considered
Kristin MacDonald	North Shore Resident	In this age of driving distraction in the form of mobile phones, road rage, and traffic woes associated with a growing population, billboards would be adding grist to an already overloaded mill. Having lived in a billboard overloaded city (Reno, Nevada), living in a billboard free-zone has been a pleasure!
Gillian Ann Kitchen	Richmond Resident	Enough sign all over the place, bridge would be a bad place, enough accident all ready. Just no need to block the views around the bridge. Find another way to raise money, don't the casio's give them enough!!!!!
Les McDonald	North Shore Resident

Nicola Bentley	North Shore Resident	I am opposed to the installation of billboards. Our community has thus far enjoyed a zone relatively free from outdoor advertising for years and the North Shore is know for its natural beauty. I would like to maintain this ad free zone for others to enjoy. I was employed in the advertising industry for years and still work in marketing so I understand the concept of messaging but I believe that there is a place for everything and the place for electronic billboards is not on our streets and thoroughfares. Messages bombard us in all aspects of life and there must br some areas where we say NO to this intrusion. I support working alongside the Squamish Nation to develop other options for revenue generation that are more in keepng with the overall desires of all groups on the North Shore. Bring back a driving range!!!

Mike	North Shore Resident	I live on the North Shore for many reasons. One of which is bc of the view. I am rather annoyed that this is even being considered. Do you not think there are enough accidents out there even without these potential eye catching hazards? Like come on if I wanted to live in a neighbourhood full of potential road hazards I would MOVE TO RICHMOND. Use your heads this is ridiculous. I am just an average blue collar guy in which I am positive I will be ignored but lets face it the politicians really dont care what the public thinks just what is benificial to them and what will make them more money.

Nicola Jaworsky	North Shore Resident
Alan T. Doner	North Shore Resident	Historically I think that the white people are to blame for destroying the beauty of the lower mainland, and it is also the white man who wants to advertise on these billboards.

Heidi Dorman	North Shore Resident	The drive across the Lion's Gate Bridge is one of the most magestic scenes in the lower mainland. It would be an abomination to destroy this for locals and tourists with tacky billboards. Have you seen Niagra Falls? Take that as a warning of how commercialism killed the soul of what was once a natural site of beauty.
nancy m hunter	North Shore Resident	I strongly oppose any of these billboards going up in the areas proposed.
Terry Duzenberry	Concerned citizen
Margaret R. Dean	North Shore Resident	Please reconsider your commitment to putting large signage up along main roads accessing the North Shore. They are unwelcome and therefore, the Squamish Nation may not even benefit from such gross advertisements. There must be other ways to develop revenue. Try speaking with the municipalities. Our local governments are the closest to the people this will affect. There should be community consultation prior to approval.
Vicky Erickson	North Shore Resident	It is very sad to think that this type of blatant commercialism is being allowed without input from environmentalists.Billboards were disallowed elsewhere (except for reserve land)and for good reason. They were a blight on the environment - something which would be a big consideration for First Nations People you would think.

Chris Worboys	North Shore Resident	If the billboards are erected, I won't buy anything advertised on them.
Betty Cobban	North Shore Resident	I believe that the correct thing to do is to encourage beautification of the environment to attract tourism, not the increase of "electronic" pollution.
Kathy McLaughlin	North Shore Resident	I am very concerned about the proposed installation of electronic billboards (EBBs) by the Squamish First Nation adjacent to the Trans Canada Highway within the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, the District of West Vancouver and along the bridges to the City of Vancouver. It is unbelievable that such a proposition is even being considered, given the inevitable outrage and frustration it will cause among residents and visitors to these communities, with the exception only of those who will reap the financial benefits of these commercial eyesores. In a community known for its dedication to environmental sustainability and cherished for its proximity to unspoiled nature, allowing the landscape to be defiled by this type of blatant profit-taking initiative is simply irresponsible. I find it truly amazing that my rights in the cyber age are well-protected when it comes to telemarketing, unwanted direct mail, email or pop-up messages. I am able to choose not to view commercials on my TV, and I can retune or turn off my radio. Yet apparently I am powerless to prevent this kind of antiquated, in-your-face environmental spam during the serenity of my morning commute. For a city that is in the process of putting its best face forward for the global visibility associated with the 2010 Winter Olympics, placing electronic advertising in front of the many TV cameras, media representatives, tour groups, world’s athletes and visiting dignitaries makes no sense at all. The long term economic benefit of the Olympics in terms of in-migration, business relocation, tourism and resort investment could be drastically reduced if we allow our breathtaking scenery to be eclipsed by gaudy advertising. If that isn’t cause enough to veto this proposal, perhaps the potential for increased traffic accidents will give you pause. Many of the contemplated routes are already hazardous roadways where there are numerous serious accidents. Billboards are designed and built for the specific purpose of distracting the attention of passing motorists. A number of US studies have proven a statistical correlation between the existence of billboard signs and increased accident rates. One example is the Study of the Relationship Between Advertising Signs and Traffic Accidents on U.S. 40 Between Vallejo and Davis (1961 by D. Jackson Faustman) which concluded that advertising signs do have an effect on highway safety and that their existence adjacent to a highway causes accidents. I understand that the federal government (Ministry of Indian Affairs and Northern Development) is now engaged in the oversight of an Environmental Review Process leading to a decision regarding the proposed installation of certain billboards in our community. As a 15-year resident of West Vancouver, and a 40-year resident of Vancouver, I would respectfully request that such approval be denied. If there are reasons I cannot fathom to consider such a proposal, I strongly urge that before any decision is made, a Canadian study be undertaken to identify the potential safety effects of electronic billboards on driver distraction along the contemplated routes, which are already highly accident-prone corridors. Please do whatever you can to protect your electorate from this threat.
Gilles Brunet	Vancouver Resident	Billboards should not be put on a landmark such as the Burrard bridge. I would not only avoid anyone who advertises on them, I would boycott any business on Squamish reserve lands.

stephanie chan	North Shore Resident
Tara Fawcus	North Shore Resident
Julie Bartlett	North Shore Resident	These billboards are the equivalent of unsightly litter. They may not directly harm the natural environment, but they encourage disrespect for it. I beg the Squamish people to raise the standard for the rest of us to follow rather than joining in the greedy degradation of the beautiful North Shore and our province. Squamish Nation, you have an opportunity to set an outstanding example for your children and mine. Why choose to "advertise" your home in such a negative way?

Pamela Smith	North Shore Resident	Billboard advertising is so '70s. Opposed.
Chris and Carol Abbott	North Shore Resident	The idea put forth by another band memeber to make an Indian Village tourist destination beside the Marine building on the Esplanade is a more financial progressive plan. It would bring more tourism to the whole waterfront tenfold! We will personally boycot any company advertising on such a vulgar medium.
Julia Rowlands	North Shore Resident	Just because the billboards are "allowed", doesn't make them right. I believe that the communities of North and West Vancouver are trying to hang onto a beautiful community which in my opinion is detroyed by billboards and advertising. Advertizing can be done through other means such as TV or newspapers. At least the consumer of the advertising can choose (or not choose) to look at it. With billboards, that is not possible.

Nuala Woodham	North Shore Resident
Sylvia Toplak	North Shore Resident	Native land is a gift from the government in reciprocity of the hardships your people have endured. The use of this land to post huge billboards for personal income that abstructs the beauty of your land is an atrocity of mass proportions, and a slap in the face to the government for all the grants, rights, tax breaks, etc. that you receive.
Paul Little	North Shore Resident
alan clark	North Shore Resident	I am against billboard advertising
Lenore Howard	North Shore Resident	There MUST be a different route to take other than ruin the views of the North Shore as you come across the bridge. We will have the world at our doorstep in 2010 and beyond, don't allow the first impression of our beautiful North Shore be electronic signs. Beware anyone wanting to advertise on the signage, I will not buy your product or services, if I am an existing consumer of your product, I will stop in a heartbeat. Your cometitors want my business too.
Rick Clark	North Shore Resident	I will not support any company that advertises on these billboards if built.

michelle dunn	North Shore Resident	Absolutely NOT!
Allan Goulding	North Shore Resident	I moved 20 000 km to be on the unspoiled North Shore. Don't change it for the worse!
Alex Arias	North Shore Resident	The signs will destroy the beautiful landscape we have a priveldge to view everyday. Not to mention a serious distraction for drivers utilizing the bridges. I propose that if the signs are erected that people boycott any business that uses the signs as advertisement. I have been a north shore resident for most of my life and i do not want to see the signs.
Helen Leffelaar	North Shore Resident	It will destroy the beautiful view we have looking towards the mountains. Shame on them.
Keri Bjornson	North Shore Resident	My husband runs a dental practice on the North shore. I think billboards distract from the natural beauty of the stanley part cause way and are a hazard to drivers.
Nancy McCrea	North Shore Resident	I am absolutely opposed to billboards next the Lion's Gate Bridge. In fact, any company or persons who were to advertise on those billboards, I would boycott them. The bridge is one of Vancouver's most notable and beautiful landmarks and putting billboards next to it would be a blight on what we hold dear to us on the North Shore. The backdrop of Stanley Park and the North Shore Mountains does not need the commercial denigration of billboards!
Helen Leffelaar	North Shore Resident	It will destroy the beautiful sight we admire so much looking towards the mountains. Shame on them.
Jane Cramond	North Shore Resident
michael molter	friend of safety & the natural environment	Keep BC Supernatural
Sean Goulding	North Shore Resident
Clive Holloway	North Shore Resident	If these billboards are erected it will a tragedy. I will do my best to avoid dealing with any companies advertising on such billboards.
Barb Jeffcoatt	North Shore Resident	No. No. A thousand times NO.
Michael Scholz	North Shore Resident
garry monahan	North Shore Resident
Michael Atmore	Former and Soon to Be North Shore Resident	I stongly recommend that you do not permit this signage. It will permanently detract from the beauty of the North Shore.

dan robertson	North Shore Resident
Meghan Brush	North Shore Resident	What a dissapointment. NO WAY IS THIS ACCEPTABLE.
Mallory Smith	North Shore Resident	There are already enough distractions on this very busy section of our highways system.
Stephen Coyle	North Shore Resident	Stop the money grab. This land belongs to ALL of us.
Gail Delaney	North Shore Resident
D. Kennedy	North Shore Resident	I would not support a company who advertised on these boards. The beauty of the North Shore is for all to enjoy, not to be compromised for the commercial benefit of one group, in my opinion.
Sharen McRae	North Shore Resident
Danielle Blue	North Shore Resident	We are fortunate enough to live in one of the most beautiful communities in the world. Additionally there is a definate safety issue. This is a no brainer...... NO BILLBOARDS!
Ron Carere	North Shore Resident	Strongly opposed to any form of billboards. They are an unneeded major detriment to the beauty and appeal of the area. This should not be allowed to happen.
Dawn Hope	North Shore Resident	Keep our city natural - it's beautiful
Cynthia Cushing	North Shore Resident	We should not allow the beautiful entrance to our home be degraded.
CARL VOIGT	North Shore Resident
Jon Durnin	North Shore Resident	Roadside billboards should not be permitted under any circumstances. It needs to be made clear to any potential advertisers that they face boycotts is they use them.
Wes Oliver	North Shore Resident	I am dead set against having large billboards around the bridge. One it looks terrible and secondly it draws your eye away from the road and this could cause accidents in an area that already has too many.
Irene Novinc	North Shore Employee
Anne Brody	North Shore Resident	When I first read about the proposal weeks ago, my reaction was anger, and an unpleasant gut feeling to say the least. Soo many thoughts... Yes, the Native Indians have had the short end of the stick for DECADES, but please be sensitive to the overall picture here. If this goes ahead as planned, I feel the attitude towards the local Native poplulation will become very negative. I would rather see housing. Maybe the gov. should revisit how the funds that are provided to these people are divided?? and used. There should be a better way. This will look like the highway entrance to Victoria via Schwartz Bay We comment on it everytime we pass how UGLY it is. Don't let it happen here. Thank you, and I hope this gets defeated.
Karen Ravenhill	North Shore Resident	Having seen the resultant eyesore of billboard advertising on the drive into Kelowna, it is impossible to imagine why a community would not stand against this method of advertising and promotion.
Bill Purcell	North Shore Resident	This would affect everyone and we should all be bound by the same "public good" rules for this sort of thing.
Tom Nosella	North Shore Resident	I think this is terrible that a group of people that have preached preservation of the land and its beauty would consider putting up these signs.. I strongly oppose this action.
Nick Hedley	North Shore Resident	Clearly the parties involved in proposing the signs have limited experience of the impacts on the local community and driver safety. For a regional example, between Seattle and Tacoma on I-5. Also, see: http://www.mrsc.org/subjects/planning/signs.aspx for evaluations of different signage (risk/distraction, etc).
June Duncan	North Shore Resident	I want to preserve the safety of our roads and the natural beauty of Vancouver and the North Shore. No commercial distractions to divert my attention.
Grid Bruce	North Shore Resident	It would be interesting to see who would have the audacity to advertise on these billboards. Any company that would, sadly suffers from the same excessive greed as the Squamish Nation.
souliere	North Shore Resident
Judi Fletcher	North Shore Resident	Outrageous that this can be done. I think it will open the door for much more of this type of advertising.
clemence dekker	North Shore Resident	The whole idea of unsightly billboards amidst our beautiful natural setting is horrible, second class taste.
K Magee	North Shore Resident	I oppose the use of billboards on/near lions gate bridge. I will not support any of the businesses that choose to advertise on the billboards. I wonder too if the boards would be a traffic hazard. You want people paying attention to the road and all the merging, not reading signs. Please think seriously about this. There must be other ways to generate needed income.
Robyn Mackay	North Shore Resident
Shannon Richardson	North Shore Resident	This is unaceptable and should be stopped!!!
Joan Price	North Shore Resident	The natural beauty of the North Shore is the mainstay of its allure. Let's not tarnish it with commercialism!
John Lukkarinen	North Shore Resident	The mission and management of Indian Affairs needs to be questioned if they allow this type of fund raising to the detriment of the community at large.
Matthew Madden	North Shore Resident
Martha Howlett	North Shore Resident	It makes me sad to think that,for any reason, we would still consider this to be a positive thing.
G. Pinton	North Shore Resident	The First Nations are forgetting that without advertisers, these bill boards cannot be financially viable. I cannot imagine what business would want their company's name associated with them. In this case, the people to have the power to let potential advertisers know that they will boycott their company, should they choose to advertise on those sites.
Catherine Sherlock	North Shore Resident	The visual and potential safety hazard of the proposed billboards is of great concern. People live on the North Shore due to its great beauty - the billboards degrade that beauty. While they may benefit the band financially, they have a negative impact on the rest of the community.
Jay Hope	North Shore Resident
Kevin Zweep	North Shore Resident
Sam Balden	North Shore Resident
Dale Lapin	North Shore Resident	Highly against it!!
Andrzej Kowalski	North Shore Resident	A horrific eyesore that would blight our natural surroundings.
Diana Wypich	North Shore Resident
Ashley Oakes	North Shore Resident	The North Shore is world renowned for its natural beauty how can you possibly think to pollute it with such a disgusting form of advertising! Billboards have ruined the appeal of too many places already, I beg you to not allow the North Shore to be the next victim!!!
Sarb Gosal	North Shore Resident
G Sims	North Shore Resident	words are inadequate. absolutely horrific plan.
Ada Goulding	North Shore Resident
John Brighten	North Shore Resident	I think the Province and Federal government should put their feet down and say loud and clear, No!
Megan	North Shore Resident	I am toatlly against Billboards going up in the North Van / West Van area. Why ruin the beauty of the north shore.
Tom von Gudenberg	North Shore Resident

Valerie Siggs	North Shore Resident
Melissa McTaggart	North Shore Resident
Shannon Brighten	North Shore Resident
ryan deakin	North Shore Resident	I often find myself thinking how beautiful the city we live in is while driving over the inlet and looking towards the North Shore mountains. Do not take that away from us, not to mention those who have not yet had the pleasure.
Dan Stoddart	North Shore Resident	This would make our city a joke - besides, there is a safety issue when people start reading signs on a three lane undivided bridge deck.
Shaunna Miller	North Shore Resident	I think this would be a real eyesore and would be disrespectful to the beautifeul lands of North and West Vancouver. I think this grotesque commercialism would also reflect very badly on the Squamish Nation. It is shameful. If this goes through, I will make a point of boycotting any products advertised on these signs.
Nancy Gregson	North Shore Resident	As a former North shore resident of many years, and now living in Victoria, I definitely agree that these billboards distract from the beauty of the surroundings. They are also a source of distraction to drivers as if there aren't enough distractions already. Anyone who has driven a stretch of the Pat Bay Highway from or to catch a Ferry knows exactly what that is like. Let's not make anymore of us have to see these as often as we do.
Leah Karpus	Lower Mainland Resident
Michelle McCrorie	North Shore Resident
Ken Stacey	North Shore Resident
Jon Buckley	North Shore Resident
Eileen White	North Shore Resident	Do not detract from the beauty of the land. These billboards would be a real eye sore!
Margaret Maclaren	North Shore Resident
Tom & Anne Grainger	former North Shore Resident	please stop this blight on the landscape
Shelley Milstein	North Shore Resident	We can find better ways to help the Squamish Nation develop economically. Do we want to look like Americans?
sherry klassen	North Shore Resident	I am strongly against allowing billboards on the North Shore. They are hideous and will take away from our beautiful community. Please do not allow them here! It is an eyesore. STOP THE MADNESS we need less advertising and consumerism and more nature.
Stedman, Eric	North Shore Resident
Jessica Howard	North Shore Resident	I hope this works
Heather Brandy	North Shore Resident
John Lo	North Shore Resident	It would be an eyesore. If these billboards do go ahead I will be boycotting the advertisers.
Leanne Johnston	North Shore Resident	There are enough signs (arguably too many) already distracting motorists (especially tourists who are not familiar with our road network). This is not just about aesthetics but also safety. Thanks very much for doing this.
Randall	North Shore Resident	The Squamish people, along with other native bands have consistently portrayed themselves as the self designated "protectors of the environment". While words come cheaply, the actions of our First Nations peoples have not consistantly supported their stated "friends of Mother Nature" position. This is another example of exploitation of the non-native "market" for profit. When distinct communities live in such close proximity to one another, one group cannot show such a blatant disregard for the sensibilities of their neighbors and expect countenance of these unilateral decisions.Additionally to suggest that this plan would be supported by any level of government if a private venture group was putting forth this proposal would require a great degree of self delusion.
H BELLERIVE	North Shore Resident
Marlis Steininger	North Shore Resident
Rian Burger	North Shore Resident	I believe the reason most peopole live on the North Shore is to be close to nature. The North Shore is the antithesis of densely urbanised Vancouver. The choice to live here is a choice against the commercially dominated city. Leave us in peace. We get enough of this intrusive activity already.

Vivian Brighten	North Shore Resident
E. Amar	North Shore Resident	Many First Nation members themselves do not like the idea of these billboards and obstructing the integrity of nature. There are many opportunities other than billboards. Work on self improvement and continued education, thereby creating business opportunities to actually work for themselves.

lisa wanless	North Shore Resident
Stephanie Bullock	North Shore Resident	We live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world and would like it to stay that way!
Judy Shaughnessy	North Shore Resident	These billboards will destroy the natural beauty of the North Shore. Any company that advertises on these billboards will not be receiving any support from myself.
Rosemarie Adams	North Shore Resident	Billboards would be a blight on the environment. I am surprised that First Nations people, usually environmentally friendly, would want to do this.

Chris Jones	North Shore Resident	I do not agree that these huge billboards should be allowed to be installed.
wendyoneill	North Shore Resident	Do not ruin the beauty of West and North Van.
Marianne Lobel	North Shore Resident	Putting up these billboards would turn our beautiful community into tacky North Vancouverville, downtown anywhere.
Helmut Vorlaufer	Richmond resident	I am totally opposed to erecting large electronic billboards around bridges or high ways for that matter; not only does it detract from the natural beauty of our city but I also believe that it detracts the attention of drivers and is dangerous.

Archie M. Steacy	North Shore Resident	It is high time the Native Indians were to told (complelled if necessary)to start acting responsibly and join with mainstream Canadian Society and act as we do to earn a living and enjoy the natural beauty of our Communities. We are not allowed to place advertizing signs along higways, etc., and the natives should be TOLD, its a no go.. I'm sick and tired of this First Nations B... ...t.

Stefanie Donohoe	North Shore Resident
Beverley	North Shore Resident	So much for "Beautiful BC" Billboards are unsightly & we just don't need any more distractions while driving
Trina Sabet	North Shore Resident
Jill Sangster	North Shore Resident	I was taught that those of first nations had a special affinity for land and nature; something I have always admired and respected. I hope they demonstrate that quality by willingly discarding the notion of billboards and monetary gain rather than compromising some of the most beautiful views in the world.I would also hope they can understand the potentially deleterious effect flashing signs could have on the safety of all drivers.
michael white	North Shore Resident	clearly not we want on the North Shore. If the first nations are so concerned with pollutuin as they say they are.... this is visual pollution of the worst sort... bad decisions here
Alison Andresen	North Shore Resident	The Vancouver difference is integrity, don't sell out!
Terri Weber	North Shore Resident	It is shocking to think that this can happen. Our part of the world is naturally beautiful. It is also surprising that Native peoples would not be the first to respect this natural beauty as on drives over to the North Shore. What a shame!
Soren Nilsson	North Shore Resident
ian zweig	North Shore Resident	We cannot allow this to happen.
Linda Diano	Vancouver Resident
Brenda Austin	North Shore Resident	"No"to billboards. We have enough bombardment of advertising in every other media, much of which is banal.

james Goddard	North Shore Resident	I will be putting billboards up on the lawns of the people who allow this to happen.
Patricia Clare	North Shore Resident	I support a ban on the installation of electronic billboards on the North Shore.
Terry Chalmers	North Shore Resident	North Van citizens cannot place signs wherever they want. Humanity is one family;we must get along. The views of our god given natural surroundings are becoming polluted by too many signs. Please do not add more.
Shelley LonodonHauka	North Shore Resident
David Bennett	North Shore Resident
Brenden Torrell	North Shore Resident	Do not allow these ugly billboards to ruin the North Shore.
Elaine Andrews	North Shore Resident	Hard to believe billboards are being considered here at all. Have you been south of the border and seen how unsightly it is? Please do not ruin the amazing beauty we are all so lucky to enjoy!
Lindsay Moore	North Shore Resident	THese billboards would destroy what is inheritly beautiful about the North Shore.
Monica Higgins	North Shore Resident	Even though the billboards will be extremely tacky and 'un' North Shore, driver safety is the primary concern. We are already victims of distraction in vehicles: cell phones, kids, construction noise, vision impairment from weather. Really!!!! This is a no-brainer.
Samantha Bishop	Vancouver citizen
Michelle Superle	North Shore Resident	No nasty billboards, please! Let's remember that we live in CANADA and not the US. Yet. Thankfully.
MICHAEL PRITCHARD	North Shore Resident	These proposed billboards are an unsightly intrusion on the beauty of the North Shore and a traffic hazard on the busiest roads in the area.
Dirk Schillebeeckx	North Shore Resident	It is with great concern that one observes the self professed protectors of nature and good neighbours, the Squamish Nation, choosing to unilaterally go down a route that would create a blight in our community for dollars. Particularly when one considers the citizen of North and West Vancouver and their elected official have steadfastly for years rejected similar offers for revenues. It also given one pause for further concern as to what will occur once vast tracks of land are transferred as contemplated by the BC treaty Commission process. How long will it take for these lands to similarly be exploited for economic benefit without consideration from the community at large and in contravention of the responsible stewardship promised for these lands. Is this a sign of the future? How unfortunate for all BC residents.
Tim Saxvik	North Shore Resident	Visual polution should not be encouraged. Polution is polution no matter what the form.

Stella Walsh	North Shore Resident	I was raised in North Vancouver and it will always be my home, even though I am now living in Japan.

Marie Price	North Shore Resident	I can understand their need to raise money but maybe there is another way that wouldn't be such a blight to the landscape
Duane Cromwell	North Shore Resident	The money gained from the advertising revenue will not be enough to restore the landscape or to retain your reputation as a group dedicated to our natural environment. For 30 years, you will be limited to the money from the signs and not be able to create anything more lucrative or more desirable. Don't do it, it is short sighted and ugly. Duane Cromwell
Diana Chan	North Shore Resident

M. Curlier	North Shore Resident
David Gardner	North Shore Resident	Hey, how bout an eyesore!
Barb Haggerd	North Shore Resident	I am vehmentally opposed to this desecretion of our most elegant and beautiful presentation of our North shore community. Any company that advertises on these proposed bill boards I will email and vow not to ever purchase thier product or service and will request of my friends and colleagues to do the same. I think what they have done in Kelowna to the entrance to the floating bridge from Westbank is a tragedy. It reeks of American commercialism and I would not consider frequenting or purchasing the services of the advertisers that purchase these spaces. I have made a note of those advertisers and have since boycotted supporting them due to this most unsavoury form of self-promotion. I am totally opposed to this desecration.
Ian Clyne	North Shore Resident
Susan Gushe	North Shore Resident	Please do not do this, it is an afront to the incredibly beautiful natural setting that we have the highest privilege to reside in.

Diane Congdon	North Shore Resident

Robert McLeod	North Shore Resident	This is so very hypocritical ... it flies in the face of everything the first nations claim to stand for environmentally and spiritually.

Margerate Lamb	North Shore Resident	There are enough distractions already without the addition of more. I personally would never buy anything advertised on these billboards.
John Foster	North Shore Resident	Should this wretched project go ahead, then it seems to me that those who have conceived and approved it have (like most of the rest of us, be it said) forfeited the moral right to claim a special, sympathetic, and harmonious relationship to the land - its creatures, its spirit, its beauty.
Dan Smith	North Shore Resident
Lise Smith	North Shore Resident	I really hate the idea of billboards. Surely there's a better way to make money.
Blair Fisher	North Shore Resident	I am appalled that the Squamish Nation is even considering adding such an eyesore to some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. The view from the bridge when crossing the Lions Gate is very special - this will now be spoiled. The drive from the ferry into Victoria is depressing for this very reason, and the North Shore will now be the same. SHAME

Susan Verver	North Shore Resident	It's a no-brainer. Signs are ugly and distracting.
David Langley	North Shore Resident
Helen Baker	North Shore Resident	On the North Shore, we are blessed with natural beauty -- the forests, mountains, and wild rivers.

Andrea McLennan	North Shore Resident
Brendan Taylor	North Shore Resident	It would be a shame if the bill boards are put up. They will make a huge impact on the beauty of the north shore.
caylin glazier	North Shore Resident
Patricia Pearmain	North Shore Resident	I would not support any company who advertized on these bill boards and I would work hard to help boycott their products and services.
steven rechtschaffner	North Shore Resident	I am against putting any signage along highway 1, Marine Drive or especially on the Lions Gate bridge.
Lona Stevenson	North Shore Resident	This is one of the worst ideas I have ever heard of to affect the North Shore,it's residenst and our tourists. I have been a North Shore resident for 30 years and have never felt more strongly about a land proposal as this one. Shame on all of us if this happens
Justine Frazee	North Shore Resident
Laura Marie	North Shore Resident	I've spoken to many Squamish and Burrard members who absolutely hate the idea but have no say among their own people. I hope you can put a stop to this nonsense. if you can't I fear for what ugliness will come of it. And I don't mean just the signs. I know that allowing such monstrousities will create huge rifts in the community and that would be extraordinarily sad. thank you.
Erica Jane Mustard	North Shore Resident
Sonia McLeod	North Shore Resident	I am absolutely sickened by the thought of having these ugly eye sores around the beautiful north shore...it will ruin the beauty of the natural surrounds on the shore....shame on you for even thinking of it!
Joyce Bayly	North Shore Resident	Years ago we managed to get rid of most of the unsightly billboards, why would we want them back again. The billboards do nothing to enhance the environment we live in and in fact take away. I strongly oppose the billboards.
Elizabeth Bligh	North Shore Resident
Blair Trousdell	North Shore Resident
Brenda Hollingsworth	North Shore Resident
Alex Hoffmann	North Shore Resident	this idea is a joke. the signs are unsafe and an all around bad idea.
Susan Haga	North Shore Resident	I am against the destruction of the beauty of some areas of the North Shore by oversize billboards.
Elwyn Evans	North Shore Resident
Vivian Lucas	North Shore Resident	Driving on bridges is hazardous already and the addition of billboards as a further distraction is,I believe, an inadvised and potentially dangerous decision.
Gail Malmo	North Shore Resident
Pamela Sharif	North Shore Resident	I believe that the billboard signage on the Lions Gate Bridge would be a safety hazard. And, in keeping with the heritage of the North Shore community, I feel it would be an eye sore on a beautiful landscape of the city.
Elizabeth Lofthouse	North Shore Resident	We live in a beautiful community. First Nations people, especially, should be striving to keep it that way.
Don Kitchen	North Shore Resident
Donna Colodey	North Shore Resident
Christine Simons	North Shore Resident	Keep the N. Shore natural and beautiful. Don't ad these eye sores.
Nathalie Post	North Shore Resident
Philip Harland	North Shore Resident	No billboards please !
Leslie Hemsworth	North Shore Resident
Patricia Blore	North Shore Resident	I'm against the billboards being put up in the proposed positions. The billboards will create a distraction to drivers and spoil our lovely views.
Pia Collins	B.C. Resident	I am absolutely opposed to the erection of any billboards of this nature in the Vancouver, North Shore, West Van or greater Vancouver area. We are known for our natural beauty and this is only a grab for more money without any though to the impact on the environment or natural beauty of B.C.
carol wightman	North Shore Resident	Please DO NOT add to the visual pollution on our beautiful area by installing these signs. There MUST be a BETTER way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALBERT JOLLY	West Van Resident
Paul Daniels	North Shore Resident	Let's face it....Nothing more than a blatant prostitution of the immunity of the reserve from laws that apply to the rest of us.
Grant Spitz	North Shore Resident
david whitehead	North Shore Resident	Is the paltry revenue this would generate really worth the ugly scar on the landscape, diminished reputation and poor relationships this will cause with all North Shore Residents? Its a bad plan, Do the band members even want this?
Fernando Ciolfitto	North Shore Resident
Graeme Hopkins	North Shore Resident	Those are far to numerous and are a great eyesore. The Squamish Nation are already one of the richest in the area are they not? Do they really need more revenue???
Oralie Loong	Vancouver Resident	Please keep our city beautiful! No billboards!
Kathy Holmes	North Shore Resident
Ellis Brayham	North Shore Resident	Agree - against all billboiards.
Etsuko Yukinaga	North Shore Resident
Michael Setticasi	North Shore Resident	No big billborads please.

Steve Fraser	North Shore Resident

Lesley Houston	North Shore Resident
Marilyn Elliott	North Shore Resident	Tourism is nbr 1 in BC. Dont ruin it!!!!!
Christine Stuit	North Shore Resident
Philip Rogers	North Shore Resident	I do not deny the Squamish the right to pursue business opportunities on their land, but I do think they need to respect the impact on their neighbors, and these large signs will certainly impair the West Coast views for which the Lower Mainland is known for.
Paige Freeborn	North Shore Resident
Leah Gantzer	North Shore Resident	PRIDE OVER PROFIT!
Joanne Lee	North Shore Resident
Simon Scott	North Shore Resident	NO BILLBOARDS
adrian	North Shore Resident	I will absolutely boycott all products advertised on the proposed large billboards and will use all of my resources to convince others to do the same. Please, please, please...let's preserve the natural beauty of our north shore and not polute the landscape with advertising!
Brent McLennan	North Shore Resident	I won't be buying any products advertised on these billboards
Phyllis Mueller	North Shore Resident	All products advertised on these boards will be boycotted by me and my family.
Scott Henderson	Vancouver Resident
Karen Foster	North Shore Resident	Beware the billboard blight. If you have ever driven through S. Dakota, you'll know what I mean. (Wall Drugs) You want to scream. Please protect God's perfect design.
corrie vorlaufer	work on nshore	I commute daily from Richmond to Wvan and I would hate to see such commercialization on the bridges.
martha johnston	North Shore Resident
rebecca martin	North Shore Resident	Please dont put up those billboards, what a waste of a veiw
Peter McLennan	North Shore Resident
Penny Cooling	North Shore Resident
Kent Handel	North Shore Resident	I believe that billboards anywhere are a blight on the landscape. The natives should be ashamed.
Gordon Cooling	North Shore Resident
Tracy-Lea Bloch	North Shore Resident	Don't destroy this beautiful part of the world - take the advertising somewhere else.
Heather Stewart	North Shore Resident	There are enough sources for advertising as it is and large signs are neither a necessity or positive addition to the city. The signs will not be an asset, wherever they are positioned. Our city is beautiful and that beauty should be respected. Is money more important than blocking views from the Lion's Gate, altering many natural settings and bringing down the city with full scale boards that serve no purpose other than to sell things peole don't really need? I thought we supposed to honour the land. This makes that attitude or vision a hypocracy and a sell-out. Please don't trash the land and make it look like something in America, all cluttered with unnecessary man-made structures and garish advertising. Overall, the citizens of the area just don't need it and you shouldn't want to be involved, regardless of how much money or profit is involved. I hope common sense and not the pursiut of money will win out. As they say, some things have a price and some things are priceless. The view from the Lion's Gate is "priceless".
Dave Hubbard	Greater Vancouver Resident	I was born, and have lived in the lower mainland for 49 years. The continuing idea that any one individual, or group of persons should have superior rights over any other, remains a misconception that only a few believe in. Please, no billboards of any type!!!
Lynn Rogers	North Shore Resident	I respect that the billboards are planned for Native land but the visual pollution impacts the entire community. A real "black eye" on the face of the North Shore!
Susan Rose	North Shore Resident	I have lived in North Vancouver all my life (50 years). It has become a beautiful city. Why would anyone want to destroy it by putting up unsightly signs. For those who want that obviously don't care what the city looks like. The obvious is money only matters to them.
Lionel Tolan	North Shore Resident	This is supremely tacky. A good example of the stunningly bad nature of this concept can be had when driving the Pat Bay highway into Victoria. The gauntlet of billboards is surprisingly distasteful.
Warren Butler	North Shore Resident
Andrea Mueller	North Shore Resident
Barry S.	North Shore Resident	This really must be stopped! How can a native band, whose ancestors were truly the caretakers of this amazing land, cut trees down to make room for signs and completely obliterate views of "Beautiful British Columbia"? Even the "locations.pdf", which has views of before and after, has had photographs taken from single angles that fail to show the full impact of the signage. . . . What is also shocking is the total lack of community or media action against this, which can really only be put down to complacency :( People have got to get the word around about this, only the pressure of the majority is going to make any difference!. . . . How can the native band be short of money when they are treated as a separate nation within Canada with a long list of monetary advantages over all other sectors? Surely what is needed is some direction and coaching rather than raping the environment to add more money to the bottomless pit that certainly seems to have little internal planning and/or control.
Zoltan S. Kiss	North Shore Resident
Patrick H Seline	North Shore Resident	No I don't want an eye sore, we should boycott any advertiser that buys space on them
Courtney Tennant	North Shore Resident
Philip Bernard	North Shore Resident	If the parties who would place these billboards have acted lawfully, then our response must be an economic desertion of those involved. Good neighbours do not build crappy fences!
Judy	North Shore Resident
Lindsay Reoch	North Shore Resident
VIcki Anderson	North Shore Resident	We have enough advertising and distractions in the world today without having to erect signs along our highways. A good example of signage tragedy is the Pat Bay Highway in Victoria. It's a sad welcome to Tourists and a constant reminder of devistation of the once senic drive to residents.
Derek Slack	North Shore Resident	I strongly oppose this installation. We have lost enough green space on the North Shore without adding more visual pollution to the mix.
Derek Hamill	North Shore Resident	I support the ban on ALL billboards on the North shore. I cannot think of anything more ugly and would definitely NOT buy anything from any advertiser on these billboards.
Lindsay	North Shore Resident	no one wants to see huge, ugly advertisements all over our beautiful city
M Reynolds	North Shore Resident	I feel this is a HUGE safety issue all the bright lites and traffic , major distraction as well as being a HUGE eye sore to such a beautiful community
Mark Attisha	North Shore Resident	As a North Shore Resident, I do not support these billboards and will actively boycott ANY company that promotes with them.
Joan Probert	North Shore Resident
Marja Harmer	North Shore Resident
Orest Hoffmann	North Shore Resident	This is rediculous! Vancouver is such a beautiful place, lets keep it that way.
Tracy Sacre	North Shore Resident
Jeff Rea	North Shore Resident	This will be a huge eyesore! Take away the beauty of the surrounding Environment. Also may cause accidents! Please reconsider this.
Margaret Daniels	North Shore Resident	If this terrible proposal is implemented it will demonstrate that the much-touted concern of native peoples for the preservation of our beautiful environment is a sham, and evaporates very quickly at the prospect of a few tax-free dollars.
Stephen Harmer	North Shore Resident
James Moore	North Shore Resident
Lona Stevenson	North Shore Resident	I have lived on the North Shore for 30 years and this is the worst land proposal I have ever heard of. How anyone can even contemplate destroying our beautiful landscape with these monstrosities is unfathomable. Shame on anyone who thinks this cash grab should even be considered.
Paul Daniels	North Shore Resident	This is a very backward step in public relations for the Band. There are several things one might do. One would be to persuade the governments to disallow as an expense amounts paid to a tax exempt recipient for billboard advertising. Another would be for north shore residents to make it known that they will not deal, and will encourage others not to deal, with an enterprise that makes use of any such billboards.
Jean Stalberg	North Shore Resident	Billboards take up the view, but the worst part is when they aren't cared for and they go all tatty. We are inundated by advertisements, please let us look at the world without another 'pop up' in front of us.
Steve Rowland	North Shore Resident	I do not want to see any more billboards. I would rather have all billboards outlawed. I will boycott any company that advertises on new billboards.
stephanie Jordan	North Shore Resident
karina	North Shore Resident
Anne Verdicchio	North Shore Resident
Jim Keith	North Shore Resident	Please do not erect billboards on North Shore bridges - we love our view too much to have it spolied by unnecessary advertising
j stolar	North Shore Resident
Anne-Marie Rowley	North Shore Resident	I strongly oppose the use of these bill boards anywhere on the N.Shore. If the Squamish Nation persists with installing them, I will not support any company that advertises on them. The Squamish Nation is certainly going the right way about alienating themselves from their North Shore neighbours if that is at all a concern to them. I was happy to note that not all Squamish Nation members are in favour of this. They care more about good community relations and the beauty of their environment. The negative environmental and saftey issues have already been covered many times. It would be refreshing for once that the voice of the mass poulation of the North Shore would be heeded instead of blatantly ignored as usually happens in such cases. The Squamish Nation should put some thought into how they can utilize this beautiful part of the world as a tourist attraction ( especially with 2010 round the corner). Sticking grotesque billboards in the face of all may put cash in SOME First Nation's pockets today but at what a price for future generations.
mhorn	North Shore Resident
Jim Davidson	North Shore Resident
Phil Winter	North Shore Resident	I'm against the placement of billboards electronic or not on the Shore. The hideous stretch of road in Tsawwassen towards the ferry should be an example of what "could" happen.
Rick Binning	North Shore Resident	The North Shore has natural beauty - let's try not to mess it up any more than we already have.
Bill and Irene Blackhall	North Shore Resident	We always thought our first nations were strong environmentalists. Billboards are one of the biggest ways to destroy the beauty of our north shore landscapes
Diana Mason	North Shore Resident	Lets keep our environment clean from this kind of clutter . No billboards please.
Andy Molloy	North Shore Resident	Race based advertising policies should not be tolerated.
Dan Leahy	North Shore Resident	I support the 1st Nations in most of their efforts to improve their living conditions. I find it hard to believe that they think this could in any way have a positive outcome for their place in this community. I will support, and assist in promoting, a boycott of all companies that advertise on these billboards.
Daniel Quon	North Shore Resident	I support this petition. Sincerely, Daniel Quon
Roma Krusch	North Shore Resident
Barbara Reynolds	North Shore Resident
Sharon Diamond	North Shore Resident	I am totally opposed to billboards in general! In this case I don't have enough info to comment on the traffic hazards, but I do know I don't want to clutter up our natural beauty, and I would boycott any company who was involved in the advertising on these billboards.
Greg Dixon	North Shore Resident	Regardless of the economic benefits for the land owners sometimes the desecration of the landscape needs to take prominence
Roy Reynolds	North Shore Resident
Barry Hogan	North Shore Resident	Please stop the installation of distracting, and detracting billboards as proposed by the squamish nation, on the north shore.
Bob Roskell	North Shore Resident	The proposed signs fly in the face of our community values. I will not do business with any advertisers

danielle wenkstern	North Shore Resident	this foolish advertising scheme, which will only alianate commuters, is uncharacteristic of the Squamish Nation, usually wise and progressive in its initiatives.
Joan Jones	North Shore Resident	It seems to me there is a lot at stake here without stating the obvious. Is there not an area for compromise?
David Chapman	North Shore Resident	Please don't detract from the beauty of our North Shore!
Mary Briggs	North Burnaby Resident	I will boycott any company's products that are advertised on these proposed signs.
David Ross	North Shore Resident	I hope our elected North Shore politicians stand up for their consituency and do what ever it takes to stop this billboard madness.
Ian Walton	North Shore Resident
D	North Shore Resident
Allison Fettes	North Shore Resident	I will boycott any products advertised and don't want to see the beautiful views destroyed.

wayne gillis	North Shore Resident
patricia	North Shore Resident	The North Shore is one, if not the most beautiful suburbs we have. Billboards are an eyesore. One of the things that makes our city so pretty is the lack of billboards. There is nothing worse than arriving in a big city and being overwhemed by billboards. They completely take over. One horrible example is in Victoria. The stip just prior to getting to the Swartz Bay terminal on Pat Bay Highway. It's littered with Billboards. The landscape is so beautiful there but now it looks horrible.
Carolyn Mansfield	Vancouver Resident	Please do not spoil our beautiful scenery with billboard eyesores. The North Shore splendour is surely worth more to Vancouverites and visitors than the advertising revenue...
Patricia Alton	North Shore Resident

James Echols	North Shore Resident
Dave Howell	Vancouver Downtown Resident
Craig Simmons	North Shore Resident	I believe this would be an eyesore on an otherwise very pleasant view. One of the things I love about the north shore is it's outdoor nature and I belive any form of intrusive outdoor signage would be a major eyesore.

grace gordon-collins	North Shore Resident
Don Osman, P.Eng.	North Shore Resident	It is very inportant that these proposed signs are not allowed now or in the future. It is not appropiate to degrade the community to the "Vegas" style of advertiseing. This is a significant issue and not something that they should be considering when all reasonable efforts are being made to negitiate the settlement of land claims and the like. Ther is a need to demonstrate respect for the community and to temper any developements such as this to suit the needs of the community at large.
DON ENGLISH	North Shore Resident	I fully support the elimination of further pollution to the environment. Be it in the air, water, or in this case, an affront to nature itself.
HERB HOFFMANN	North Shore Resident
Paul Rogers	North Shore Resident
Mark Laoun	North Shore Resident	Time to update the bylaws to include no billboards within a defined proximity to municipal land
Anne Binning	North Shore Resident	I don't object to advertising but fail to see why it has to be so big. Our eyes are cued to see signage the size of stop signs etc
N. A. (Bert ) Barbour	North Shore Resident	What on earth do giant advertising boards have to do with native "traditional culture" ? It's Madison Avenue type admen gone mad !

Eric Hung	North Shore Resident for 28 yrs	I do not agree with the billboard proposal. It's not safe, it's not attractive and it's not needed. I would avoid any business that would use these billboards
Tamara	North Shore Resident
Catherine Leighton	North Shore Resident	I think the billboards are an eye sore and will contribute to vision obstruction. How does this go along with City Council's mandate to clean up and beautify the Marine Dr. area? This does not enhance our image as a "green" city in the future. I am TOTALLY against the billboards. The major problem to focus on in 2007 is the traffic density problem along Marine Dr. and onto the Lions Gate Bridge. It is only increasing in traffic density but there is only one corridor.
Christina Moghrabi	North Shore Resident
Louise Dyer	North Shore Resident
DANIEL JACQUART	North Shore Resident	these signs are too big for this spot and don't belong there. what a way to destroy the look of the north shore. don't give drivers another reason to get in an accident!
Lisa	North Shore Resident	Completely against it. We have enough distracted driving to deal with already on a daily basis, plus the billboards will be a massive eyesore.
colleen henderson	North Shore Resident	I can't believe that these are even being considered. They will be a blot on the landscape and, among a whole list of other things, they will only foster resentment of our local Indian Bands. Surely, that will give them pause. Are they not the ones who claim to "protect our natural environment"? etc. etc. Beautiful British Columbia. Let's be proud of it and keep it Beautiful.

David Mout	Vancouver Resident	Few things are uglier than a bunch of billboards in a row
Connie Goldhawke	North Shore Resident	Would hate to see this happen to our beautiful surroundings, we must understand, work and live together in harmony. It would be distracting and our bridges need every driver's undivided attention.
Ray Leeden	North Shore Resident	"Squamish Nation will protect the almalgamation and enhance the Uxwumixw cultural values through respect, equality and harmony FOR ALL" - I guess these words don't mean very much to Chief Bill Williams

Holly Cole	North Shore Resident	There has got to be better ways to create revenue than erecting these commercial monstrosities. These billboards will be like ugly, unnatural weeds sprouting up to strangle the beauty of our city. Let's make it more important to preserve that beauty than to spoil it with billboard blight. If these ugly signs are put up I will boycott stores the stores that advertise on them and will encourage others to do so too.
Farzad Bayati	Downtown Resident	I am opposed to the Electronic Billboards that are proposed for the Burrard Street Bridge and North Shore. Any company that advertises on these billboards will only open themselves up to public scrutiny and looked at poorly for supporting these ugly signs.
R D BARRY	North Shore Resident	I WILL NOT BUY THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OF ANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT ADVERTISE ON THESE BILLBOARDS
Shameer Noormohamed	North Shore Resident	This proposed signage would be contrary to the look and feel of the area and I highly object to this type of advertising. Especially considering it will be next to the bridge.

John W. Seddon	North Shore Resident	Despite study the billboards will constitute a driving hazard & will adversely affect tourism
Denise Maddeaux	North Shore Resident	I am signing this petition as I extremely worried about the visual pollution that the billboards would cause. I am very fortunate to be a life long resident of the North Shore as I feel it is incredibly beautiful. These billboards would detract from that beauty. I sincerely hope that the Squamish Nation can come up with other ways to secure an income.
Allan Collings	North Shore Resident	I support the ban on these billboards as they are too distracting to drivers
Marcelle Pavan	North Shore Resident	Vancouver is currently rated one of the most beautiful cities in the world to live in, why tarnish this spectacular natural beauty with such monstrosities and for financial gain.
Hilary Stevens	North Shore Resident	I support the ban on these billboards for safety reasons as it is too distracting to the drivers.
Brian Broz	North Shore Resident	Having billboards anywhere near merging lanes is far too distracting!

JR Mackie	North Shore Resident	I have lived in North Van my whole life.

On the days when its not overcast or raining I can look up and see the mountains and the forests that I have been lucky enough to hike and ride my bike in since I can remember.If the proposed billboards do go in I feel that the appeal of living on the shore and the ties with the natural beauty will be sorely stressed.

john macphail	North Shore Resident	If the bill boards go up I will not purchase any good or service from the advertisers
Paige Ackerman	North Shore Resident	I feel that the proposed billboards would not only be a negative impact for drivers, btut hat it will reduce the appeal of the nearby area and reduce overall values or properties int eh vicinity. My property is very near and I am very concerned that these billboards will impact my life in a negative manner
Leonard R. Tanner	North Shore Resident	These proposed billboards would constitute a distraction for motorists thereby being the cause of accidents. Also they would be a blight on our beautiful outlooks. Please go to Las Vegas if you want to see billboards, not to Beautiful British Columbia
Robert Dal Santo	North Shore Resident	The natural setting of the north shore mountains really does need a blight like these proposed billboards. Traffic in this area is already pretty fast, busy, and of sufficient risk, that the added distraction of billboards with catch advertising would be a serious mistake.
Barbara Milgrom	North Shore Resident	For all their protestations over various environmental issues based on their "in tune and understanding of nature", the Squamish Nation has just demonstarated it is no different, and probably worse, than most "white corportions"-money is all that is of concern

David Bouck	Means Of Production, Inc.	I have two serious issues with this new billboard plan: 1) It will be ugly as sin, 2) as a producer for the film industry in Vancouver it will destroy possible filming locations. I think billboards are a blight on the landscape and no one should be able to put them up. Thanks

Margaret Gray	North Shore Resident	I am prepared to boycott any product connected with these boards.
Karen Dal-Santo	North Shore Resident	I am extremely opposed to these billboards. They will cause huge safety issues for drivers being distracted, and also cause envirionmental pollution as they will interfere with our beautiful scenery. Please don't allow them!

Rick Chant	North Shore Resident	this is a way for the Squamish Nation to shanghai money from the local goverment to the tune of millions of dollars. "working in harmony with earth" is thrown around a lot - ever driven through a reservation lately???

Michael Hagerman	North Shore Resident	The bridge is vulnerable enough to accidents. We don't need another distraction. We can of course use another means - a boycott of any advertiser that chooses to use them.
