SUBJECT: PITCH~IN CAMPAIGN - REQUEST FOR 1991 CONTRIBUTION
(Euvironmental Protection Comittee, January 15, 1991)

Recommendation:

That Council approve a contribution of $600 to “Pitch-In British Columbia” for
the 1991 year.

Background & Comments:

The Environmental Protection Committee considered a request from Outdoors
Unlittered for a $600 contribition from the City in support of the 1991 “Pitch
In British Columbia" campaign and other programs of Outdoors Unlittered.

"Pitch-In British Columbia” is one of the programs sponsored by Outdoors
Unlittered. The “Pitch-In" week which is held in May of each year, encourages
organized litter pickup, clean up and recycling programs throughout the
Province. It is estimated that last year alone, over 500,000 British Columbla
residents actively participated In some part of the “Pitch-In" campaign during
the week of May 7 to 13, 1990.

The Environmental Protection Committee strongly supports the "Pitch-In"
campaign and the Committee will continue to monitor and coordinate the
“pitch<In” campaign with other City activities. Once the information kits
have been distributed throughout the Province the Comittee will finalize
plans for Port Coquitiam's participation and advise Council. The Committee
anticipates reporting back to Council in April, 1991.
