MINNEKHADA ESTATE

At a public meeting chaired by Mayor J. Tonn in Coquitlam, strong
public support was expressed for the Institute's proposal for an art
gallery and nature park at Minnekhada Farm. The Heritage Museum aspect
of the proposal was the subject of some doubts due to the limited space
in the lodge. ;

The idea of hunting in the marsh and forest was strongly opposed by the
majority of participants and real estate development was ruled unlikely

in view of the strong public support expressed for recreational and
educational use of the area.

I would like to express thanks to all faculty, staff and students who
supported the Institute's proposal by attending the public meeting or
by submitting completed questionnaires to the Advisory Committee.
Merry Christmas!

P.S. On another subject - the sale of books, gifts etc. at New Westminster
last week raised the College's donation to the Boat People Fund to
$1,125. My thanks. to all contributors.
