REPORT FROM: Leisure Activities

ITEM NO. 1 — Figure Skating Carnival

The Port Coquitlam Figure Skating Club wishes to hold a Figure

Skating Carnival on February 16th and 17th, 1979. They anticipate

having one show Friday evening and two shows on Saturday, one in

the afternoon and one in the evening. In order for the Carnival to

take place, it will be necessary to cancel Public Skating on the

Friday evening and Saturday afternoon and evening. The other associations
using ice time would not be affected, as we would change them over to the

New Arena and give them the Public Skating time which the City has.

Furthermore, the Figure Skating Club is prepared to pay their normal
rental fee for the time used. The Committee feels that this type of

Carnival would be most entertaining for the people of Port Coquitlam.

Recommendation:
The Committee recommends that the Port Coquitlam Figure Skating Club

be given permission to hold their Carnival on February 16th and 17th,

1979; and that their hours be Friday from 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and
Saturday, from noon to 10:00 p.m. In addition, that they also pay the
