Coquitlam Area Fine Arts Council Box 217, Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3C 3V7 (604) 931-8255 November 6, 1986 K. Janna Taylor Parks & Recreation Director 2253 Leigh Square Port Coquitlam, B.C. V3B 3B8 Dear Janna: Re: Fee Waiver, Hyde Creek Each year the Coquitlam Area Fine Arts Council sponsors a Festival of the Arts, the major C.A.F.A.C. event for the District #43 performing artists. This year, we have tentatively booked Hyde Creek Recreation Center on April 24, 25 and 26 (1987) for this purpose. ; As you know, we receive no other financial support for the Arts Council from the mmicipality for the cultural and arts programs we ‘sponsor, except through the gracious waivering of facility use fees. Moreover, in past years, the three commmities - Port Moody, Coquitlam, and Port Coquitlam - have shared the responsibilty for fee waiver and the provision of facilities on a rotating basis. The Festival of the Arts for 1987 is "due" to be held in Port Coquitlam. Therefore, as you have in the past, we ask you to waive the normal fee for the use of Hyde Creek Recreation Center for the Festival of the Arts. The Festival this year is plarmed around the theme: "Sports in the Arts.” All musical and dance performances will incorporate this theme, and all artistic representations will reflect it. Prominent local athletes are being invited for the promotion of the Festival. Hyde Creek appears to be an ideal facility for this theme and, as you can see, we are striving to make this the most sucessful Festival held in the region. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Yours truly, Coals Carolyn Stratford Events Co-ordinator 40 SERVING Coquitiam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, loco and Selcarra.
