Dear Mr. Strachan
and Mr. Michael:

1991 is Coquitiam's Centennial. During this anniversary a
number of major events will be held in our community and our Chamber
of Commerce is deeply involved in developing the tourism potential of
this banner year.

The Coquitlam Chamber (includes Coquitiam, Port Coquitiam,
and Port Moody) will soon be applying for 1991 funding of our Tourist
Information Centres. Since these Centennial activities will provide
an opportunity to attract many thousands of visitors to our community,
4¢ stands to reason that more travel counsellors will be needed.

Chamber officials have informed me that funds will be
requested for six travel counsellors to work in their King Edward arn
Westwood locations. While this represents a modest increase over the
number of counsellors in recent years, it should be noted that our
Chamber office operates as a year-round Tourism Information Centre
providing outstanding community service at {ts own expense,
