It is recommended that this report be accepted by the Parks and
Recreation Committee as informat1on.
Puroose/Problem:
This report has beer, prepared to provide information to the Parks and
Recreation Committee regarding a children's event being organized by
the participants in our teen program.

Historv/Backaround:
teen program is now in its third year of operation. Our goal was
to provide a program which not only provided the teens with the
opportunity to socialize and be entertained but also provided them
with the opportunity to grow and l.am . .
. . to become valued
citizens in our community. The program has certainly evolved from
its beginnings . . . . they have danced, they have skied, canoed,
gone norseback riding, played floor hockey and basketball, helped out
at May Day and even worked on their leadership skills. Last year,
they even organized/hosted a special event for children during Spring
Break. This event was such a great success that they are currently
planning the second annual "Day of Fun".
The

.

.

Discussion/Justificatign'."
Thirty (30) teens are currently meeting each Monday night planning a
special children's event; "A Day of Fun" to be held Apr11 4, 1991
during Spring Break. The event is being planned for children ages 5
11 years and will be held at Hyde Creek.
They are organizing a
variety of activities ranging from visiting the house of fun and
hunting for eggs in a haysta"k.
—

assistance uf the staff who are working in the youth area, the
teens are making their own posters, recruiting their own volunteers,
contact1ng the media, and enlisting the support of'he business
community. From what I hear, they are having a great time working on
With

this project.

that the "tethered

for the Snrlng Break chi 1drens event being
organized by the City'
i s

recommended

Teen Committee be permitted, provided that the corporate
advertising
on the balloon is acceptable and the balloon rides are made
available

to the. City at no cost.

It is also recommended that a policy/procedure

The purpose of this report ls to provide lnformatlon and
a
recommendation for consideration by the Parks and Recreation
Committee regarding a request received from our Program
Special Populations for permission to have tethered hot Coordinator
air balloon
rides at the Children's Spring Break event being organized
by the
Teen Committee.
~Hi

torv/Backurou~n

of the goals established for 1991 for the teen program was
to
continue to raise the profile of the program. One way
of partially
accomplishing this goal was to challenge the Teen Commiiioo
organize a community special event for children nn ing ':i» iw fi o..i
This strategy was supported by the teens i'n 1990 and again in
They are now actively planning this event. One of their ideas 1991.
offer tethered balloon rides to the children. Approval of this was to
proposal is being sought.
One

r

Di scuss

ion/Justification:

Thirty (30) teens sit on the comm1ttee that is organiz1ng this
been told that they are all very enthuslast1c
special event.
looking forward to hosting this event for the
event
and
are
about the
children in Port Coquitlam.
A couple of companies have expressed an interest in tethering their
hot air balloon at our event. They wi 11 supply a pilot, balloon,
fuel, etc. at no cost to the City of Port Coqui tlam. Obviously,
their advertising slogan will appear on the balloon. However, I
think that most people would recognize that it would be an
opportunity lost if we would not allow balloons with advertising to
be a part of 'our commun1ty events. In this case, it would appear
that the opportunity gained for the children far outweighs these
implications of the proposal.
We would check to ensure that the advertising is appropr1ate for. our
community event, and that the balloon was properly 1nsured to carry
passengers.

I'e

Conclusion/Summarv:
The Teen Committee has adopted a project ln 1991 to organize a
special event for children to be held during Spring Break. One of

the activi ties that they would like to offer during the event is
tethered hot air balloon rides. This activity would be very popular
with the children.
