Dear Mayor Campbell;

Would the City of Port Coquitlam please consider requesting from the Greater
Vancouver Regional District an additional allotment of the B.C. Government's
Student Temporary Employment Program "STEP '74" to staff a Musle Education
Workshop.

The Music Education Workshop in the summer of 1973 was a highly successful
project funded by Opportunities For Youth. !t employed nineteen Douglas
College students and attracted 375 school students to attend.

The program for this summer offers instruction in music theory, music
appreciation, surveys of various periods of music ( classical, baroque,
twentieth century, jazz, etc.) sight singing, ear-training, classical guitar,
folk quitar, jazz guitar, beginning band, concert bands, stage bands, large
cherus, chamber choir, folk choir, and small ensembles.

The project would run from May 13, 1974 to August 31, 1974. The first workshop
is to be held in Surrey, July 2, 1974 to July 26, 1974, The second workshop
is to be held in Delta, July 29, 1974 to August 23, 1974.

Presently, we think some funding will be available from Opportunities For
Youth, However, due to anticipated Increased enrollment and to desired
eypansion of the programm, we fee! that additional funding is necessary.

My understanding is that the Greater Vancouver Regional District has been
assigned 517 positions. There is a possibility that the member municipalittes

of the GYRD may not utilize all of the 517 positions. Should this be the
situation, GVRD may decide to allocate additional positions to those communities
who anply. .
Our request to you is for twenty positions costing $34,531.28. This figure :
includes $4,504.08 for administrative costs ( 15% of salary costs). Enclosed
is an "Application For Funding - STEP '74" which gives a further breakdown,

Thank you for your consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Howard Mar
