Re: Proposed Information Meetings

It has been a number of years since the GVRD Park Commit-
tee have met with individual Municipal Councils to provide an up
to date picture of the Regional Parks program and to answer questions.
The Park Committee feels it is an appropriate time to meet with Member

Councils because of:

@ some provincial policy changes on park funding.

e the number of sites where acquisition is complete
and the number of sites which are now receiving
some development for public use.
the need to establish clear programs and priorities
for the next five to ten years.

It is suggested that such meetings could be scheduled
between May Sth and mid June. Some members of the Park Committee
have suggested councils may wish to include staff and Parks and
Recreation Commission members. Estimated time for presentation
and questions is 1-1 hours. Parks staff will be preparing
summary information on the Regional Parks program and finances along
with other graphic material.

If you are interested in convening such a meeting I
request the earliest possible notice so as to obtain the best fit
of meeting dates. I also suggest that if Council has particular
questions they wish answered, to address these to Mr. Hankin, Parks
Administrator along with the proposed meeting date.

Yours truly,

Loot CofE

Mayor D. A. Ross
Chairman,
GVRD Park Committee
