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
