Mr. Rod. Freeman, City Clerk

Corporation of the City of Port Coquitlam
2272 McAllister Avenue

Port Coquitlam, B. C.

Dear Mr. Freeman:

Your letter of May 24th regarding Cedar Drive Elementary School
was considered by the Board at its last meeting.

The Chairman of the Beard has received assurance from the Minis-
ter of Education that the Provincial Government will pass an
Order-In-Council authorizing the Board to vary an existing
referendum. This variation order will provide funds to construct
the Lincoln Avenue Elementary School.

In the opinion of the Board, there is not, therefore, need for
an audience with Premier Barrett.

Regarding temporary facilities in September 1973, the Board has
undertaken to provide sufficient portable classrooms at the Cedar
Drive and Birchland Schools to provide such accommodation as the
Board feels is required.

Yours truly,

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 43 (COQUITLAM)
