Recommendation:

That the 1988 May Day celebrations be held from May 9th to May
15th with the main parade on May 14th and the ehildren's parade
on May 15th.

Background & Comments

Tt is necessary to confirm the dates for next year's May Day, 80
that we can confirm tentative bookings for the Ronald MacDonald
show and the children's rides. We also need early bookings for
popular parade entries such as the Shriner's units, the Vancouver

Motoreycle group, ete

The decision to utilize May 9th to May 145th is based on the
following things in May, 1988:

a) Mother’s Day is May 8th

b) Mountain Festival in Maple Ridge is May 6th to 15th with the
. parade on May Tthe 7

e) Hyack Festival is May 20th to 29th with the parade on May
28th.

fhe Committee would Like to look at the possibility of adding 2
few more days due to the fact that it is the City's 75th birth-
daye Presently events start on the Thursday evening and we are
suggesting that we look at events starting either May 9th or May
10th depending on what is available.
