Dear Sirs:

This letter is in reply to the past, present and continuing criticism
of Mrs. Angus and her group of 14 local citizens, who state that they
are interested in the “aged” in this community.

Our Society has received no financial, vocal, physical .or any other’
support from Mrs. Angus and her group of 14 local citizens, who
state that they are interested in the "aged" in this community.

Since 1958 the Port Coquitlam Senior Citizen's Housing Society has
developed, constructed, and is presently managing facilities for our
Senior Citizens here in our own community.

We have operated and have been active for 15 years.

Through the active and positive efforts of our Society members.
- our city council ~- provincial and federal governments, we have
accomplished much.

Our Society, our facilities, our administration and our records are
all open to government scrutiny.

We have made positive accomplishments through the positive efforts
of our public spirited citizens, together with the co-operation of
our city council and provincial and federal governments.

We therefore take strong objection to individuals or any group who
prefer to negatively criticize our accomplishments.

These individuals or group, that state thelr concern and interast
in the “aged" of our community, should conceive, develop, construct
and manage their own facility for the "aged" that they seem so
concerned about.

We have had criticism on our wall paintings. We suggested to this
art critic that we would be happy to accept replacements that
would meet with his artistic approval. We are still waiting for
the replacement paintings.

We have had other similar criticisms without any positive response.
