  Science Fair Projects - Jack Volrich
Jack Volrich was mayor of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada from 1977 to 1980.
Important issues during Volrich's tenure as mayor included the proposed construction of a trade and convention centre and the debate over the ward system method of electing aldermen to city council.
Volrich resumed practicing law, but returned to the political world when he ran unsuccessfully as a Progressive Conservative Party candidate for Parliament in the electoral district of Vancouver East in the 1984 election.

The courts, located in a new gymnasium building, were formally dedicated upon their opening to the memory of the late J.H.R. (Jack) Larsen, a graduate of the school and brother to Ned Larsen, and a 3-time provincial champion.
Jack Wright, the tennis great who was later voted Canada's outstanding tennis player of the first half century, was also a fine squash player as evidenced by the fact that he won the provincial title in 1934 and 1936.
They received much-needed assistance from John Nicolls, Jim Forsythe, Jack Larsen and others in order to complete the task of building the new courts, but it was their inspiration which initiated the project and carried it through to fruition.

Then-mayor Jack Volrich singled him out of the press corps in 1978 by offering him a job as executive assistant.
Madden and alderman Don Bellamy, so the story goes, had ducked their escorts for a night on the town and rolled home in the wee hours, only to be embarrassed at breakfast when their inscrutable host commented publicly on the precise hour of their respective arrivals.

Anyox, B.C.; d.] Lawyer Jack Volrich was a founding member of TEAM, but his priorities and outlook seemed more in keeping with the free-enterprise mayors of previous years.
He considered running as an independent in his second bid for office, and later still was a member of both the Progressive Conservative and Social Credit parties.
Volrich was fiscally conservative and presented a stabilizing force and return to the old values in the midst of social ferment.

 POZ - - High Society- by Edwin Bernard - April #80
The outbreak in the late '90s, Vancouver's second wave of HIV, has proved to be as devastating as the first among gay men a decade earlier, but it came about for different reasons.
In the mid-'80s, Vancouver city officials, headed by a gentrification-mad mayor, Jack Volrich, organized a citywide makeover in preparation for Expo '86, the World's Fair that made the city's international reputation.
Prostitutes were driven out of the newly gussied-up West End -- now home to middle-class gay men, hip couples and seniors -- by a shame-the-johns campaign backed up by a court injunction.

The council incumbents were challenged by only one nominee, Karnail Nagra, who was introduced for his speech by former Vancouver mayor Jack Volrich.
He pleaded with NPA delegates to pick Nagra, who he said is dedicated to the community, not the party.
