Dear Mayor Trahoulay and Council:

In recent years the communities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody have undergone dramatic
growth, Since 1984, when Eagle Ridge Hospital and Health Care Centre was established, the Tri-Cities area
has grown by 24%, A further 32% growth rate is predicted by the end of the century.

[t was in response to the challenges of this growth and change that the Tri-Cities Campaign for Eagle Ridge
Hospital was born. This community-led initiative will help make possible the expansion of the Emergency
(Jnit. Ambulatory Care Unit, surgical services, the Kecovery Room, amenities and pcograms for seniors’
health care and educational outreach programs for the community.

The enclosed information explains the details of the Hospital's expansion plan and also some of the
progressive services and programs for which Eagle Ridge Hospital has been widely recognized, The cost
of this expansion plan is $2 million.

‘The Tri-Cities Campaign for Eagle Ridge Hospital will seek to help iniplement the expansion by working
with all of the Hospital's constituencies (corporations, service clubs, local businesses, individuals and the
Hospital Family) to ensure their support.

Accordingly, we would like to ask that the City of Port Coquitlam proclaim the week of June 5-11, 1994
as Eagle Ridge Hospital week. The enclosed draft provides full details. We would also like to request
permission to make a presentation to Council regarding this matter at your mecting on May 16, 1994,

If further information about the Campaign is desired please contact the Carnpaign office at 469-3128, Thank
you for considering this requesi. '

Sincerely,

Doug Péthecary
Chairman, Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation
