Mr. R.A. Freeman, City Clerk,

City of Port Coquitlam,

2272 McAllister Avenue, ,

PORT COQUITLAM, 8.C. APR 5 1976

Dear Sir:

Please find enclosed a copy of a letter directed to the Attorney
General's Office expressing the deep concern the School District
No. 43 Joint Family Division Committee has over the lack of availabie
Family Court Workers servicing the School District No. 48 area.

It appears conclusive, after discussions with the one Family
Court Worker in our area, that as a result of the lack of available
staff, the Family Court counselling service currently provided in
this area is far from adequate and that there is a definite need for
additional counsellors.

By way of this letter, the Joint Family Division Committee
respectfully requests that your Council endorse the attached letter and >
along with appropriate comment, forward same to the Attorney General

of British Colurnbia.

Similar requests will be made of the Councils of Coquitlam and
Port Moody; and of Judge PF. Byrne, the local court Judge; Mr. D.
Mathieson, Supervisor Co-ordinator of Family Relations Act Services;
and Mr. J. Thornson, local Welfare Administrator.

Please make this correspondence available to your Council for
their action.

‘Yours truly,

fn
