I've deleted the table of adjacent municipalities from this article. As nice as it is (I've used it in several other articles), the nature of the Electoral Area makes the table quite confusing. Surrey appears to be located to the west of Vancouver, while the North Shore would seem to be to the south of both Surrey and Vancouver. --Ckatz 06:07, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

	North: Squamish-Lillooet D
West: Lions Bay, Surrey	Greater Vancouver A	East: Vancouver
	South: Musqueam 2, West Vancouver, North Vancouver DM, Anmore, Coquitlam, Barnston Island 3

I agree, it does seem confusing. I think that box should be for the parts of GVRD Electoral Area A that have articles (i.e. Barnston Island and University Endowment Lands). Makes it easier to follow. Buchanan-Hermit™..SCREAM!!!.... 06:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Buntzen Bay

I was in Buntzen Bay today, the road that goes there is nearly impassable now, there were cars dumped along it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 54.5.132.51 (talk • contribs)

[edit] wow

wow without the univeristy endowment land there are less than 1000 people in electoral area A, that's not very many at all, and begs the question why is it included in the GVRD exactly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TotallyTempo (talk • contribs)

Good question. Personally, I don't see why they didn't incorporate these areas (especially since North and West Van's northern sections are uninhabited anyway and can be mistaken for GVRD A). I'd much rather see the mountains incorporated into North/West Van, Pitt Meadows and so on, and have the University Endowment Lands as its own municipality. Weird wacky world, I guess. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 07:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, the Endowment Lands residents voted against incorporating. Could be mistaken, though. As for the North Shore, the District of North Vancouver considered adding the lands to the north, but rejected it due to the cost of servicing/providing fire protection/etc. Again, don't have anything in front of me to validate the info, but I seem to recall it from quiet a few years back. --Ckatz^chat_spy 07:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I have nothing validating that info either, but I do recall the UEL voting. There was an article in 2006 in the Province about possible incorporation, but I can't seem to find it. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 09:10, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
