Dear Sirs,

The enclosed graph indicates one out of every four eligible boys in Port Cocuitlem is registered with the Boy Scouts of Canada, -In fuct, this graph, produced by the Fraser Valley Region for the Scouts, shows :;Rort Co.uitlem leading in boys registered on both sides of the Fraser river from Delta to Hope,

In order to properly administrate scouting in our district and the ever growing boy population, it is necessary that our district council and groups have an office and proper meeting place within

our city of Port Coquitlam,

“This letter is to request space in the old library at Leigh Square, Due to increases in the volunteer groups and orgunizgations within our city the demand on space in existing facilities is critical,

We have this year lost our traditional meeting pluce at the Trinity United Church, As an interim measure we are forced to meet in the inadequate confines of a classroom at Mary Hill Junior Secondary School,

The old library facility at Leigh Square, while vrobably not suitable for many organizations, would be ideal for the scouts, We need some office space and a regular meeting place for two nights ont of every week for our district council, groups and committees, plus tnree

full weekends per year for leader training and @ home base for special events sucn as the Foco Trek anc Apple day :

Our committee would like the opportunity to meet with council, Monday November 6, to vresent our brief in this regard, :

Yours truly, gone EE DUE “’e. Ce: wwe Joe Dzumka/Sob Lucoste/Bob tobertson Buciliti Comnittee Fort Cogquitilum District Council Boy Scouts of Caunucu
