REPORT
TO: Mayor and Council

FROM: Parks & Recreation Committee

ITEM NO. 1 May Day

The Committee, at their last meeting met with Wendy Bridge to discuss
the future of May Nay. The Co~ordinator indicated that it was necessary
to know as early as possible whether Council was to sponsor May Day, in
order to get things lined up earlier instead of leaving many items: to
the last minute. Wendy indicated that some discussion had taken place
at May Day Committee meetings to move the parade to the North side but
she felt that, at this time, this was not a feasible option. Committee
would like to make the following recommendations for Council's considera-
tion:

Recommendation

That May Day be declared an‘annual event.

That May Day take place on the weekend following the
long weekend in May.

That the parade be held on the South side until appropriate
facilities are provided for at McLean Park and then possibly
a second look be taken for a different parade route,

ITEM NO. 2) Feneing at MeLean Part

which amounts to $11,91].00. ‘he amount placed in the budget fer this
