Recommendation:

That the City of Port Coquitlam fully endorse Richmond's bid to
host the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

Background & Comments:

The municipality of Richmond is presently preparing a bid for the
1994 Commonwealth Games. Richmond is requesting support from
various municipalities in the Lower Mainland.

To have the games in the Lower Mainland would indeed be exciting

for all the surrounding municipalities. It would provide the
eitizens with the opportunity to see world class athletes

competing. Citizens would no doubt also have opportunities to peat
act as volunteers at the games. Other opportunities would also

be available to Lower Mainland residents to become involved.

Some municipalities may also be approached to supply various

sporting facilities such as soccer fields, hockey fields, etc,
