b) there is too much food offered

With these thoughts in mind the Committec
has decided to approach all the local restau
rants and eateries in Castlegar and Robson
with the five following ideas and the hope that
you will consider implementing them.

1. In the majority of towns and cities in
this province a_person is now considered
semor at age 60 (in some areas it is even 55)

In this area we have over 2500 seniors of
varying ages. We have many individuals aged

5 and over being forsed into early retirement
through no choice of their own. We also have
many seniors who travel extensively and are
accustomed to age consideration,

The Committee would like to request that
you adopt as part of your practite the age
requirement of 60 for senior menu price con:
side rations.

This would create conformity throughout
our local food industry

2. The second request is that every menu
offers senior portions. These reduced portions
could be listed directly under the regular
menu items or they could be placed under a
separate Senior Menu. (The latter might be
more significant but either would be appreci
ated.)

This provision would encourage seniors to
go out more often and not feel so guilty about
wasted food

3. The third request is health rel.

marked and we are sure local dietithur
be glad to help you incorporate even
two. We also have.a growing vegetarian poj
lation which needs addressing

4. The fourth request is that lower price
or percentage discounts be made available to
seniors age 60 or more

This committee will be making efforts to

encourage seniors to go out more and your
support of lowered prices will assist this
endeavor

5. The fifth and final request is to assist u
in meeting our goal of getting seniors out of
their homes. It would be nice if
lishment were to create senior day special

and 2 p.m., etc.,- everybody likes a bargain

en our large senior population. They also
have the time to take advantage of it

Thank you for taking the time to read this
letter. It is our hope that together we will help
to make Castlegar continue to grow and pros
