CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES:

Moved by Councillor Gordon:
Seconded by Councillor Wright:

That the minutes of the Public Hearing and Regular Council Meetings held on September
13th, 1993 be taken as read and adopted.

Carried.

PROCLAMATIONS:

Whereas the Fire Commissioner of Canada states that many dedicated citizens have joined
with the volunteer, professional and industrial fire safety personnel as "Partners in Fire
Prevention" in a relentless effort to minimize loss to life and destruction of property;

Whereas fire losses in Canada remain unacceptably high in comparison with those in other
industrialized nations thereby necessitating improved fire prevention measures;

Whereas it is desirable that information on fire causes and recommended preventative
measures be disseminated during a specific period of the year;

And whereas the 1993 fire prevention theme for this period is Get Out/Stay Out,

Now therefore I, Leonard M. Traboulay, Mayor of the Corporation ef The City of Port
Coquitlam, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM the week of October 3rd to 9th, 1993, as

"FIRE PREVENTION WEEK"
in the City of Port Coquitlam and urge residents that at some time during that week:

1. Fire safety inspections be conducted of all buildings and facilities and action taken
to remove fire hazards:
