Recently, as former Chair of the Governance Focus Group I
have been contacted by Health Ministry staff to submit
names for this portion of the Community Health Council
representation.

The Simon Fraser Region will initially be represented by
two CHCs, one from each School District. Each CHC will be
made up of twelve representatives, one third community
representatives, one third elected officials from
municipal councils or school board and one third Minister
of Health appointments. In 1996 the one third community
representatives will be elected in the local government
elections. Following the formation of the CHCs the
Regional Health Board will be created, two thirds from the
membership of the two CHCs and one third Minister of
Health appointments. |

£ realize that School District 43 represents a number of
communities and four members out of twelve in a CHC is
difficult to resolve, however I understand some
discussions have taken place last fall on how this may be
accomplished and there remains the option of asking the
Minister of Health to use some of his appointments to
ensure geographic equity.

I would like to forward the names to the Ministry staff as
soon aS possible. Please contact me, Councillor Art
Wilkinson of Port Moody or Lori Woods if you have any
questions.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
