Regional District Meeting - May 30th

The request from Mayor J. Tonn of Coquitlam that the Greater Vancouver Regional
District undertake a detailed ambulance study of all ambulance services in the
region was today tabled by the Regional Board until the report on Health Services
being prepared by Dr. R. Foulkes is received and reviewed.

The report on obstetric-neonatal and gynecological services to the Board by the
Hospital Advisory Committee was tabled by the G.V.R.D. .

and likely will not be for several years to come,

As requested I have contacted Dr, R.M. Heffelfinger and Mra. My Angus, R.N. for
their views on this matter.

Members of the G.V.R.D. executive committee are to meet with the executive
committee of the B.C. Hydro and Power Authority in mid June to consider developing
a Joint B.C. Hydro/G.V.R.D. policy in regard to the location and development of

transmission lines.

I wouid recommend that our Council write immediately to the G.V.R.D. asking for all
available pertinent data regarding the proposed Coquitlam transmission expansion
so that we can both individually and collectively, with the G.V.R.D., oppese the
erection of the unsightly overhead lines that are proposed in and around our area,
