PORT COQUITLAM, B.C.

Attention: City Clerk

Dear Sir:

Lower Lonsdale Waterfront Park - City of
North Vancouver

. The City Council has been repeatedly requested by various active
groups in the City to urge the Provincial Government to provide a waterfront
park for use by the public on lands in the City's waterfront area which were
expropriated by the former Government in 1974.

The Council has not to the present time been able to obtain a
commitment from the Province to this effect, although the Minister of Muni-
cipal Affairs did indicate some time ago that a portion of these lands would
be used for this purpose. The Council subsequently resolved, at the regular
meeting held on June 20th, to ask the member municipalities of the Greater
Vancouver Regional District to support the City Council in its petition for
a waterfront park. It was further suggested that, if feasible, such a park
be designated a Greater Vancouver Regional District Park.

The Council would very much appreciate it if other G.V.R.D. member
municipalities would advise the Office of the Minister of Municipal Affairs
that they endorse the City's petition.

Yours truly,

(Mrs.) L.E. Wilson
