Care Centres

Committe has received a request from Simon Fraser Health Unit for approval
of two Family Day Care Licences in residential areas. These would be for up to

5 children.

The Simon Fraser Health Unit have changed their procedures somewhat on this,
in that they are writing individually to the various Inspection authorities to
obtain approval and have written to the City to approve these under our present
Zoning By-law provisions.

The Committee xecommends that the licences be approved subject to the Simon
Fraser Health Unit receiving approvals from the various other Inspection authorities.
A map is attached showing the location of the two current applications.

4. Family Month

The Committee met with Bev LeFrancois and discussed involvement in the
Family Month Programme which is scheduled for the month of May. The Committee will
be reporting further on this and will be co-ordinating publicity of this event.

5. New View Society

A letter is attached from Mr. MacDonald, representing the Western Association
for Youth and the New View Society. The New View Society are presently using space
in the Dalkey Building and have asked the Council to consider making the property
commonly known as ‘PoCo House' available for their use.

The Committee does not feel that it would be appropriate to remove paying
tenants from this house to turn it over for public use. Council has, in the past,
received similar requests, all of which have been turned down and it would not be
fair at this time to consider the New View Society as a priority need. The Committee
also expressed the view that although the City has made space available to the New
View Society, we have never been in involved in financing the group and that
assistance should more than likely be coming from the Provincial Government rather
than the Municipal level.

The Committee cannot recommend approval of this request.
