users in the city of Fort Caquitl- have been attempting through
informal discussions with the Department of Recreation to obtain
one sheet of ice during the spring and summer for over twelve
months. This -r-"osal to the elected council af the City of Fort

delays, and to appeai directly to council to provide this much
needed facility.

Contained in this proposal are the elements of aur request:
the detailed financial principles involved, the benefits to
skaters in Fort Coquitlam, as well as our vision for future
spring and summer use of the facilities.

It is our objective ta obtain twelve weeks of ice use during

1988: commencing in early June, following tne city’s saventy~

fifth birthday celebration, running into the start of the reqular

winter schedule which generally commences in early September.
Hetween Figure Skating, Minor Hockey, Ringette and the
various old-timer associations, we believe a minimum of fifty-
five hours per week would be guaranteed. With little marketing
effort, a further forty to fifty hours per week could, we
believe, be sald. Fort Coquitlam Figure Skating: .b 15 prepared
