Re: Conference for Vector Control Officer

John Nelson, our Vector Control Officer, has just asked me if he could get authorization to attend a Symposium on Mosquito Control which will be held in Edmonton, March Ist to 4th. The Symposium is sponsored by the Alberta Department of Environmental Services and will involve ‘speakers from all over North America speaking on new methods of mosquito control. This Symposium has been an annual event for the past few years.

It has been the practice to send the Vector Control Officer to at least

one of these conferences annually, to keep up to date on the latest unformation. The cost has been included in the Provisional Budget for the Mosquito Control Programine and the amount will be shared between ourselves, Port Moody and Coquitlam. .

T would recommend that we authorize Mr. Nelson to attend the Conference and pay his expenses. Registration Fee is $10.00 and in addition, he would require holtel, meals and transportation, in accordance with our Expense Policy.
