Dear Mayor Traboulay:

I am delighted to be able to advise you that Cabinet has
approved an annual B. C. Festival of the Arts commencing
in September 1987.

The opportunity to host this showcase of dance, theatre,
film, music, drama and the visual arts, is open to all
communities: I urge you to consider Making an application
based upon the attached guidelines. Unsuccessful
applications for the 1987 festival will be considered for
1988 or 1989.

The 1986 festival was held in Prince George. They showed
community spirit and had the prerequisite for staging an
arts festival - a strong reserve of volunteers, an
appreciation of the arts and good facilities.

As planning time is short for the 1987 festival, I would
ask that submissions be forwarded to my office by
November 15, 1986.

Every effort will be made to advise you of the decision,
by late November.

I look fezward to receiving your proposals.

Yours sincerely,

Hugh A.’ Curtis
Minister
