Campbell APR 17 1978 and Members of Council City of Port Coquitlam 2272 McAllister Avenue Port Coquitiam, B.c. V3C 2A8 Gentlemen: Re: Horizon Receiving and Assessment Centre 1978 Budget Submission At the regular meeting of the School District No. 43 Joint Family Division Committee held on April 12th, 1978, Mr. Richard Fleck, Director of the Horizon Receiving and Assessment Centre, advised that he was seeking the support of the Committee with respect to his 1978 Budget Submission to the Ministry of Human Resources. A brief discussion ensued with respect to the need for additional funding and the following resolution was then passed: "That the Family Division Committee write a letter to the Minister of Human Resources in support of the 1978 Budget Submission of the Horizon Receiving and Assessment Centre; AND THAT support of the submission also be requested by the Committee from the three Municipal Councils, the Board of School Trustees and M.L.A. George Kerster." During the discussions, Mr. Fleck pointed out that to date, 83% of the youth dealt with through the programme had been successfully returned to their homes and the Committee felt this was sufficient evidence of the success of the programme to warrant support of its funding requests.
