Gentlemen:

As Chairman of Port Moody's Standing Committee on Environmental Protection,
I am writing to inform you of a matter of vital interest to each citizen in
their area of the lower mainland.

On Tuesday, May 9th, the Pollution Control Board of the Province of B.C.,

will hear the City of Port Moody's appeal against an approval to B.C. Hydro
to conduct tests of burning sulphur-containing fuel oil at its Burrard
Thermal Plant. The Hearing will be held in Port Moody at the Cultural Centre,
300 Ioco Road, at 7:00 in the evening in order that as many citizens

as possible will be able to attend,

The Council of Port Moody has asked for the support of its community groups
and neighbouring municipalities who, by virtue of the uniquely sensitive
geographical and atmospheric environment we share, will also be affected by
Hydro's plan.

We would appreciate it if you would bring this information to the attention
of your colleagues, members of your organization and fellow citizens.

Anyone wishing more information of the terms of Hydro's approval or the nature

of Port Moody's appeal, is invited to contact myself or any member of City
Council in care of City Hall (936~7211).

Yours very truly,

| Ges I Mom —

Alderman J.S. Homer,
Chairman,
Environmental Protection Committee.
