Teen Dances
The following report was given to the Parks &
Recreation Committee by Janna:

I have discussed the aspect of teen dances with
both Darlene Grieve and Joanne Edey Nicoll. As
you are aware, both of these staff have, in the
past, been responsible for the running of teen
dances for the Parks & Recreation Department. It
is agreed that there is definitely a need for teen
dances in Port Coquitlam; presently there is not
much available for teenagers in Port Coouitlam.
It is not appropriate to have teen dances sponsored by individuals at this time.
If we are to seriously address this problem of
providing good activities for our youth, we need
to hire a youth worker. Other parks a Recreation
Departments, such as Naple Ridge and Surrey, have
been seriously addressing the area of youth over
the past years. We can choose to ignore our youth
and do nothing or we can take a positive step
forward and put money aside in next year's budget.
Recommendations (From Janna Tavlor)
1.
That we put monies in the 1986 provisional
budget to hire a youth worker.
2.
That the sponsoring of teen dances be by the
Parks
Recreation Department and that these
be instituted in 1987 (maximum four) .
&

Nuch discussion took place with regard to the

report. Committee felt that recognized community
organizations should be permitted to host a teen
dance. As to the aspect of a teen worker, the
Committee had some reservations; however, they
were prepared to support the concept that this be
included in the provisional budget. With regard
to teen dances, the Committee did support the
proposal to sponsor two or three by the department
in 1987.

Routlev Park
The various problems

at Routley Park were dis-

cussed. 1 lderman Farnworth went over the
community meetino held at Birchland Elementary on
Friday, Septembe. 6th, 1986. He indicated that
the residents were concerned with the amount of
youths who congregate in the park and cause
vandalism. Janna indicated that the parks crews
have had to clean up the park on Nondays as
there is a lot of garbage after the weekends; we
also had to paint the Routley learner pool
building due to vulgar language being painted on
the walls.
Alderman Farnworth went over the various suagestions which came forth at the meeting:
Locate additional lights in appropriate
1.

places.

2.
3.

Take down the hedge by the fence.

4.

Dig out the stump.

Trim the branches on the trees close to the
lamp by the playground eouipment.

Janna will get costings in regard to the removal
of the hedge and the installation of another

light.
