That. this Council, through the office of the Mayor, take the initiative
to form a delegation of all the Mayors in the Lower Mainland to go to
Victoria to meet with the Attorney-General and request significant
changes in the Juvenile Delinquency Act. Carried.

Prior to passage of the above-stated resolution, a discussion
ensued, and Alderman Ranger stated he felt that the motion was premature
in view of the fact that it is proposed to hold a further seminar in
January when it is hoped to obtain additional input on the subject.
Alderman Laking stated he did not see the need to wait for additional
input to indicate to Victoria the need for revisions in the Act. Alderman
Mabbett suggested that perhaps it may be more appropriate to submit the
matter to the Lower Mainland Municipal Association initially, and Alderman
Laking stated that although he agreed it would be an excellent idea, the
next meeting of that body will not be held until February, 1975; whereas
the next sitting of the Legislature convenes in January. Mayor Campbell

stated he would endeavour to obtain an indication as to how many municipalities

think they have _ juvenile problem during the next short while.
