If bowling were to be incorporated into Vancouver Park Board facilities, it would be several years before pins started to fall.

Commissioner Aaron jasper says there are no immediate plans to incorporate bowling into recreational activities; he says that doesn't mean the Board wouldn't be open to a discussion, "I think our staff would really wanna (sic) take their time to think this through, Really the question is, is bowling an activity that should be provided by the Park Board, an activity that has been traditionally provided by the private sector."

A motion by Vancouver City Councillor Adriane Carr calling for bowling to be included in the city's new health initiative was voted down last week with Councillors saying recreation issues and funding are under the Park Board's jurisdiction.

Carr's motion came when hundreds of Vancouver residents were rallying to save Varsity Ridge Bowling.

The Development Permit Board approved the application for a development at Arbutus and west 15th Avenue Monday. It's up to the developer to decide whether it wants to include a bowling alley.
