The program allows individuals and businesses to rent paintings, photography and mixed media works by local artists for an affordable price. Meanwhile, artists gain exposure and revenue — royalties are paid semi-annually. New works will be considered for the program on a jury day, Sunday, Nov. 14. Selected pieces will be contracted for a minimum of one year. Those interested can drop off up to five pieces, framed and wired to the CityScape Community Art Space, 335 Lonsdale Ave., North Vancouver on Sunday, Nov. 14, 9:30-11:30 a.m. Artists are required to pay a $15 jury fee and must be members of the arts council. The entire art rental collection will be on display at CityScape at an exhibition in January.

NORTH Shore families keen to have a blast this Halloween should check with local authorities before setting off any Catherine wheels or flying dragons. Local municipalities have tightened up rules about where and how fireworks can be let off in recent years. Fireworks are banned outright in the City of North Vancouver, and have been for many years. That means nobody can sell, buy or discharge fireworks within city boundaries — even on private property. Anyone caught breaking the rules stands to be fined. In the District of North Vancouver, private fireworks displays are still allowed — but only if the fireworks are bought and handled by an adult over 18 who has a fireworks permit. Permits are available from shops selling fireworks and from the fire department. Fireworks can only be discharged on private property between 6 p.m. and midnight on Oct. 31. Fireworks are banned on public property.

Rules are similar in West Vancouver where fireworks can be bought and discharged by adults with a $5 permit. Permits are available this week at No. 1 fire hall on 16th Street until 4:30 p.m. As in the District of North Vancouver, fireworks can only be set off on private property. Firecrackers are illegal in all municipalities. Roman candles are also subject to greater restrictions, because of the greater danger they present. Roman candles contain their own oxygen supply and can be readily modified. Many municipalities around Metro Vancouver have moved to either ban or restrict fireworks under permit systems to crack down on property damage caused by fireworks at Halloween. In West Vancouver, stricter regulations were brought in several years ago after teens wielding fireworks caused over $650,000 in damage, including house and vehicle fires, on one particularly destructive Halloween night. Traditional has also taken a hit over shrinking budgets. Last year the long-running public fireworks display at Inter River Park was permanently cancelled after close to 40 years because of costs. The annual Halloween spectacle cost close to $25,000. secondary institution, combine lectures and assignments with cultural and sightseeing activities. Upcoming trips include a nine-day Guatemala field school next February and a three-week tour of China in May 2011.
