Alderman Thompson raised the question of the problems surrounding the recent Recreation Programme Registrations and Alderman Ranger advised that both the Leisure Activities Committee and the Recreation Department are aware of the many problems and have been investigating alternate methods of registration procedures and in the Fall will be trying the Burnaby method of 'mail-in' registrations.

Alderman Laking enquired as to the status of the proposed new Garbage Bylaw and was advised by the City Engineer that it was awaiting the return of the Public Works Committee Chairman.

Alderman Laking suggested a meeting be held with representatives from the local Hunting and Fishing Club and the Federal Fisheries Department with respect to finding a suitable time to arrange for removal of gravel from the Coquitlam River as a real problem is developing with the formation of new sand bars and bank errosion.
